The DIT is now analysing their views and will incorporate them in the revised paper. Over the next six months, DIT will conduct brainstorming session on the revised draft paper and come out with a concept paper... For more information, you may like to read the TOI article.

Re: [LIS-Forum] submission for LIS-forum
by Mailing List Manager 28 Sep '05

28 Sep '05

Date: Wed, 28 Sep 2005 15:48:49 +0530 (IST) From: Prabhash.Rath <prabhash(a)gipe.ernet.in> Dear all I fully agree with the concern expressed by Mr Anil Singh. It is rather strange on the part of UGC that while they ask for same qualification for Assistant Librarians and teachers in LIS, we can find discrepencies with regard to promotional avenues. 'The librarians job is very much an academic job and nothing below that', this should have been realised by academicians in all subjects. I think, our senior professionals have miserably failed to convey this message for which this sort of anamolies still exist. In professional courses, the knowledge and skill of practitioners is no less, if not more, than the teachers.There should be uniform yardstick for recruitment to these posts across the country and also once for all this problem should be sorted out. Why can't UGC make it mandatory for Assistant Librarians to do some academic work in addition to regular administrative duties and link the same with Career Advancement Scheme? It may also think of some other means which will encourage research activities among professionals like Assistant Librarians, Documentation Officers etc. I think the time has come to give a serious thought to this perennial problem and sort it out once for all. I also appeal to all the concerned senior professionals to initiate dialogue with UGC and settle the issue and see that the CAS and other benefits applicable to teachers should also be there for Assistant Librarians and other professionals in same cadre. With regards Prabhash N. Rath > Dear Sir, > Please find below my submission for sharing with LIS-forum Members. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Unjustified Qualification for > Assistant Librarians > > > Dear LIS-Forum Members, > > At present the essential qualification for the post of Lecturers in the > pay scale of Rs.8000-13500/- in Library and Information Science in > University and Colleges is Post Graduation in the concerned subject with > at least 55% marks or its equivalent grade of B in the UGC seven point > scales plus a consistently good academic record.
