How to justify the librarian post for the institution
Dear Sir/Madam, Can anyone share any document in support of librarian post. One of our sister concern SPA Vijaywada advertised for the post of librarian (PB-4 with AGP 10000/-) and also conducted interview for the said post but finally made this NFS. Now our authority proposing to abolish the post. The student strength is around 600 now and in future it may reach around 1200. SPAs are institution of national importance under MHRD. Please advice me how to justify not to abolish the post. regards, -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
Hello to all, This is an excellent question and i believe some leaders will come forward to answer properly. However i am not in a position to justify because as per present scenario if a library work can be done by the professionals having GP/AGP 4200/4600/4800/5400/6000/8000 than why to waste 10000 AGP on another fellow this may be the view of policy makers ! I also expect some good answers with proper justifications because IIT Bombay has already created 7600 GP post (Chief library officer) in lieu of 10000 AGP as per my knowledge and many institutes may face the same in near future. What our immediate parents have done same we are getting in return this may be one case i think !

Dear Colleagues, A post at Rs.10000 GP is a very high position and it appears that the Governments are unable to maintain the burden of hefty salaries that are due with the pay commission recommendations. The computerization of many activities reduce manpower requirements as well as skills and therefore reduction in the number of staff as well as positions in libraries is unavoidable. This is obvious. Even if a librarian is in the shoe of the head of organization, (s)he would take such a decision. A need for a position in library with high pay package also needs understanding and belief of the head of the organization that a person in such a position is needed because this investment will return the organization qualitatively - much more than today's libraries offer (a general comment). While access to the literature has become easy with web support, organization of internal information is something that today's librarians and library schools should focus on and expand the scope of activities of a librarian in an organization. Following might be the library related activities that are looked forward from a person with high pay package: 1. Coordination of activities that create a confidence among the users of library by delivering any needed information by the library within least possible time (24 hours?). 2. Find solutions to manage library with least staff thus increasing the returns on investment thereby reduce the pressure on the head of the organization. 3. Plan with the offered financial resources the best that the users would benefit most. 4. Earn funds from external agencies by way of sponsored/grant-in-aid projects and deliver results in recorded time span. Set-off at least some routine activities from such funds (e.g. contract staff salaries). 5. Continuously liaison with the users and funders and create an environment in an organization that a librarian with high pay is useful and needed in future too. Non-library related activities that deal with internal information: 1. Organize and maintain databases of internal information. 2. Publicize organization's achievements using various channels such as web, media relations. 3. Take lead role in various surveys that rank organizations (and collect data routinely and keep it up-to-date to fulfil this task). 4. Public Information Officer for attending RTI Queries. 5. Maintain relations with other officers of an organization who are the key points for providing needed data. It is not a single institution where such services will be provided but as professionals it is the responsibility of every one of us to be 'useful' to the organization and create a goodwill that the librarians (in high pay) are needed everywhere. I have practised much of this while I was in the full-time job and earned a respect (and pay) to the profession (self).

Dear All, apex positions [Librarian] serves the purpose for the person holding some *Vision Mission & Goal*, keeping in align to objectives of the Library, as mentioned below & holding the accountability to take the library to the next level. - *Knowledge Enrichmen*t: General Books, Text Books, Reference Book, - *Resource Building*: e-resources, Journals, Audio Visuals, etc. etc. - *Information Dissemination* through, e-news clipping etc. etc. - *User Orientation Class*: Faculty & Students. * Library Services* [Current Awareness, Inter-Library Loan, Content Digitization etc. etc.] & *Library Resources*. etc. etc. Also being at the "*Apex** position of all the Discipline"*, he/she has to take care of the *User-Satisfaction* which is a big challenge A librarian can be compared to the "*Captain of the Ship"* or the "*Driver of the Bus"*, as my Mentor always instilled in me. Agreed the process of the '*Library-Task*' is 'Technical', but a Librarian is a "Manager" who has to take care of all the aspects of Luther Gulick's, Principles of Management, i.e Planning, Organizing, Staffing, Directing, Coordination, Reporting Budgeting Negating the '*Visionary-Aspect*' & keeping the *'Monetary-Criteria'*, how far the race can be run??

Dear sir, SPA is an institute of national importance. Librarian of such institute and Universities is at par with the post of Director. It is approved by the UGC and MHRD. You can show the circular GR of UGC available on the UGC website. You can also study the role and responsibility of this post available on the website of different institute. You can also defend that if this post will be abolished there will be no systematic and careful development, storage and retrieval, preservation, management and control on the the learning resource of the institute. I/c of the Library with lower designation will be dominated by the faculties and there will be no standard operating procedures in the library. Librarian of the institute has work with the higher authorities like registrar, Director and VC. He also need to control and manage the smooth functioning of such institute and tackle the highly qualified faculties. Further the students who get the admissions in such institute will be topper and with high intellectual level. If the I/c with lower designation or lower intellectual capacity will be appointed, even the students will not be in the control and there will be no discipline. Due to the improper selection of the resource students/faculties will not get proper learning material. Further he has to deal with publisher and subordinate staff also. Please study more about the role and responsibility. If the Librarian really wants to work he will never remain free. --------------------------------------------------- Today I am not free here to write the above but as this step is very dangerous not only to our profession but also for the institute / university it can be represented properly. In future the same thing can happen in other institute / university also.
