As explained by Mr.Angadi, IALA memorandum is prepared in response to the termes of reference of UGC-PRC. But it doesn't mean that the IALA will not fight for the cause of professional assistants. We assure Mr Singh and other friends who are agrieved of their genuine opportunities, IALA will definetly figh for their cause on different platforms at different time. Please be assured that IALA will definetly take care of all the Academic Librarians provided we all together build it strongly. Hoping for all your support and timely guidance and advise.

Dear friends and professional colleagues, After going through memorandum to be submitted to the PRC committee which is available on the IALA website, it is found that there is no promotional avenue for the staff below the rank of Assistant Librarian i.e., Information Scientist, Professional Assistant, Semi- Professional Assistant, and Library Attendants in the university libraries.
