Dear Dr. Tariq I know very well that the memorandum has been prepared in the light of terms of reference of UGC-PRC which covers only AL onward positions, but the question is which association will take care of other library professionals. Is there a need to constitute another library association for the lower staff which can raise pay related issues.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Let us have apex body of Library Association to fight for our profession
by DINESH SIDDAIAH 19 Jun '08

Dear Friends, Instead of too many associations, the persons who are in top positions in our profession especially who are coordinating in making and executing policies related to library science in central & state govt. level should consider all these problems which are facing by our fellow professionals. One more solutions to over come this is, one can take initiative to merge all these associations as a single association and make sub-association under single entity by considering type of libraries. For this our professionals especially they are in better positions should leave their egos, politics and commit themselves to work towards the betterment of our profession. Thanking You, Dinesh K.

It is critical and severe. There is no any prom= otional avenue like CAS or time bound promotion as compared to AL, DL, and = Librarians. In university and college libraries, number of Information Scie= ntist, Professional Assistant, Semi- Professional Assistant, and Library At= tendants are stagnating without any career advancement schemes, which cause= s frustration and demoralization among the professionals.
