Re: [LIS-Forum] Memorandum submitted to UGC-PRC committee
by ANIL SINGH 20 Jun '08

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.
