Not only that they also asked for experience in University library or Big institutional Library. So those who are in Corporate sector, are not getting a chance to serve the academic organisation. Who will give the chance to the corporate librarian to serve the Institutional Library? I have mailed so many times regarding that. I think, we the library professional to have a grand movement against this. If any association or organisation willing to do that or our senior professional think in positive way, then only we can have a solution. I personnaly tried to shift to Institutional library, applying a lots, but getting very few interview calls. Even though some institutions call us, their payment is too poor to accept the offer. Most of such institution in an opinion that "If we are getting a library professional in less amount, then why should we hire a highly paid one?"

What I feel is that emoluments offered to library professionals particularly in private institutions are much less as compared to the people of same calibre working in other professions. One more thing I would like to share, in India if want to apply for any higher designations we have been always asked to prove our credentials in terms of percentage of marks in MLIS, BLIS, and through UGCNet etc. But if we try to find out our employability in any international institutions what I have observed that most of the nicely paid jobs require a software engineer or people trained in specific fields of computer science profession as most of the work is handled by software. Is this indicate that this is the time when we need a drastic change in our curriculum? And requires people who are in this profession by choice rather then BY CHANCE.
