Unemployment among the library professionals
by rajesh kumar 26 Jul '13

26 Jul '13

I do agree with Dr K C Garg.The prime concern of every education system shoud be to ensure quality output.While there is limited seat in the central universities/state universities/DRTC/NISCAIR.etc the same is not true about the Open Learning Programme. Besides, LIS being more or less a practical oriented discipline due emphasis be given on the availability of quality infrastructures, best faculties,etc.MHRD(Deptt of Higher Education) must take initiatives in this direction.Maintaing some stringent criteria on LIS education in both mode regular and correspondece, will definitely result in quality output.

Unemployment among the library professionals
by Kailash Garg 25 Jul '13

25 Jul '13

Mr. Nayaka has pointed out correctly that the unemployment among the library professionals is on the rise. The reason is " more supply and less demand". Supply is more because the open education institutions are admitting the students in large numbers without caring about the quality of the student. Running two semesters is also not okay. Since it is a professional course due care is needed the admission process. In my opinion the distance education institutions should either limit the intake or these should be stopped by MHRD.
