Hi Suman, I appreciate your concern about our appointments as library professional. Here i would like to add that we should not combine the recruitment rules & regulations of different types of library i.e. for College & University library there are set standards laid by UGC & AICTE (One has to gothrough the rules of governing body). In the academic library these appointments (about qualification, pay)may vary institution to institution eg. Aided or Non-aided, Type of institution, nature of vacancy. Yes, your concern can be well fit for the Special/Corporate libraries. In these libraries the parent organisation advertise as per their requirement. It is the experience which counts in these libraries. like even a B.lib. qualified person raise upto Manager level (these are in cases of old employee of various corporate libraries). But still in these libraries Librarian plays different roles than the traditional librarian and the post also like Information officer, Sr. Officer, Manager etc. Some of the library professional (Govt. as well as Corporate sector) are getting handsome salary which we have not imagine. Thus we have to make a room for future library professionals. Thanks & Regards, Mangesh G.

Also, are payscals related to degree? or seniority? there are no set rules on this. In my case, I have done B.L.I.Sc. after 14 yrs of my earlier M.A. I did this degree in 1992. Despite having one degree of masters, I am always in dilemma if I will need to do my M.Lib. at some point of time? Does M.A.+Blisc lead to equal opportunities & financial returns? or M.lib. helps even for more & better job opportunities? Also we don't have many opportunities to get trained for digitization's, etc due to job & home pressures, since all these seminars are outstation, full day and so on & so forth. If they are scheduled part time/evenings many of us can benefit. regards, Mrs. Vaishnav (Consulting Librarian-Godrej) Mumbai ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE ====================== "The information contained in this communication is intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed and others authorised to receive it.
