Dear all,Punjab University has advertised 8 posts of Deputy Librarian and 26 posts of Assistant Librarians. But, what is the fate of Libraries and Librarians in the universities in Kerala? All universities in Kerala are running without University Librarians in post to manage the library system with long term strategic plans. UGC Scheme is not properly implemented, though induction to the scheme is given. Direct recruitment to the UGC posts insists, it is not implemented by protecting the existing incumbents in the Non-UGC cadre. So, what is the net result? Lack of leadership, lagging to develop union catalogues, digital libraries, institutional repositories etc., many court cases generated/induced by the system itself, lack of unity and cooperation among professionals, dissatisfied and demotivated library professionals with high qualifications (mostly with PG+MLISc+NET+MPhil+Publications) and so on. It is high time to renovate our library system to maximise the use of rich collection of knowledge resources for enhancing the quality of our research, education and extension programmes.   ----- Forwarded Message ----- From: dinesh kaushik <kaushik_dinesh2005@yahoo.co.in> To: "nmlis@yahoogroups.com" <nmlis@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday, 21 January 2013 9:56 AM Subject: [nmlis] Advertisement   Dear Friends This is for your kind information that Punjab University has advertised the post for Deputy Librarian (8) and Assistant Librarians (26).
