FIP for college librarians
by Gopakumar Velayudhanpillai 25 May '09

25 May '09

Dear professional friends, I have come across some librarians complaining about the rejection of their FIP (Faculty Improvement Program of the UGC) applications. According to these librarians, the Bangalore office of the UGC (South Western Region Office)has rejected their applications as librarians are not eligible for FIP as per the XIth plan norms. Professional organizations like the ILA, IALA, KLA and the KALA could take up this matter with the UGC office and provide clear information on the matter. At present the librarians do not know who are all eligible for FIP and what are the conditions required for it. In the Xth plan period librarians have availed this facility to carry out research in Library and Information Science. Responsible professional associations, please take up the matter immediately.

Dear Professionals, Status of Librarians in Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) As we know Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU) is the Technical University of Karnataka established under the AICTE. In VTU the status of Librarians & Assitant Librarians are considered as group 'C' and Librarians are listed with FDC's, SDS's, Stenographers, Typists, Drivers etc., whereas status of Physical Directors are considered as Group B (Annexure VIII of VTU's Annual Report). As per my knowledge most of the Engineering colleges (under VTU) has given the statues of teaching staff (equal to other HOD's of the departments) with AICTE pay scales and designations such as Librarian, Senior Librarian, Selection Grade Librarian, Chief Librarian. In this regard I would like to request experts of LIS, professionals who are in policy making body, officer bearers of professional associations to express their views. By cosidering the expert opinion we have to find out the solutions to upgrade the status of Librarians of VTU. Thanking You Dr. Dinesh K. S. -- Dr. Dinesh K. S.
