Dear Library Professionals,
Let me share few points on the opinion of Mr. Gafoor as DOOMSDAY!!! nearing for our Profession.
1. What are the jobs our fully qualified (MLISc + NET + PhD+PGDCA etc.) library professionals doing in many of the University Libraries in Kerala or other states? 2. Whether we are employing these highly qualified professionals only for counter duty and issue and return of books for several years? 3. If that is happening, after a long period of issue and return only experience, what technical and managerial excellence they can gain?. 4. Whether our Library Schools (other than DRTC) are able to effectively train LIS professionals to manage the e-resources. Whether we can manage an e-resource only library confidently? 5. Whether our Library Science teachers and senior professionals are sincerely looking into our real personnel and professional problems and trying for solution?.� It is a grave fact that our professionals are quarreling each other mainly because of system generating issues like appointment, promotion, qualification, etc. 6. The Govt. of Kerala run schools without effective libraries and librarians.� Now we are arguing that CLISc holders are best suit to be posted as School Librarins 7.� Then why not we recommend/try Nurses in place of Doctors; Diploma holders in place of Engineers, Degree holders as Asst. Professors?
So, this is high time to re-structure our system. Otherwise it will be a huge loss to the society (Not to the LIS Community)

Hi I agreed with Nrusingh. Attitude should change, eg:- Other day I have got call from one of the leading top 5 Indian IT companies. I know that there was a opening of Librarian position(Head of Libraries). I got call from location head. She said, it is only discussion not interview. I went for discussion, she connected call to her Cochin librarian also. After discussion, she and her colleague from cochin shared their ideas and they said they learnt lot of new ideas in that discussion. I was also happy. After one week I got a call from same person and this time she said I attended interview not a discussion. First she said discussion not interview. Finally I came to know from others She is trying for that position(Head of Libraries). This type of attitude should change.
