Respected sir,

                   Library science is not the worst degree,  but the worst thing is that most of the LIS professionals are running only after jobs, running after the quantitative paper publication. We should stop this self centered acts to make our profession sustainable.

Of course 'yes', because, It is the only degree that any one can get for which they should spend one year for UG and another One yr for PG. That too it is easily available through 'CORRESS'. Any tom, dick and harry, if they need one 'OPTIONAL' they can do 'LIS'.

To make it the best, first of all, it should be a regular 3 year degree course for UG and 2 year degree course for PG. And it should be under the faculty of Sc and Tech, a Library and Information Science (that is B.Sc (LIS) and M.Sc (LIS)). And no more 'Corress' to be continued.

for pay structure, Leave and all other benefits, the professors of library, should be treated as teaching staff and we don't want the words like 'at par with' or the non-teaching or non-vocational staff, etc.

Otherwise, both the LIS degree and the status of the so called librarians will be the Worst.  To do so, we shall need a strong leader like Dr.S.R.Ranganathan, to represent UGC.

Dear Professionals

I do agree with S Kannan. I think that the Department of LIS also produce highly trained UDC. From this deplorable situation, it is needed to restructure the LIS education system in India.

Some people go through for this degree is only for jobs. They have no sufficient knowledge about the librarianship.
so try to maintain proper study .

It is not only matter of quality of Library Science course and knowledge of person but it is also matter of value of Library science degree and value of librarian in the Institute and their salary. Many qualified and knowledgeable professional working in private institute are getting low salary due to low value of librarians.

Therefore if you got government job then your degree is valuable otherwise. I want to share one real case:

Two Friends did M.Sc. in Mathematics with first class. One is joined as Faculty for Mathematics and second joined as librarian after two year because He did M.Lib. after M.Sc. Now after 10 years first

person(faculty) is getting 40000 salary and second person(librarian) is getting only 19000 salary in the

same institute. Second person(librarian) is now realize his mistake to get library science degree and choosing their career in library science.

1. BLIS ( First Division) in 2011-12

2. MLISC ( First Division with first Rank in university merit) in 2012-13 Gold medalist  

3. NET Qualified in DEC 2012 and June 2014

                       My salary is 17100 + 8.33% PF

                       No time for family and friends

                       Treated like clerk

                       No government vacancies

                       corruption in direct recruitment

                       No proper directions

                       Always ignored: from college (education) days to professional day 

                       we are equivalent to Asst Professors and Professors but only in papers. WHY ?

Think, if I were MA IN ENGLISH, MATHS, SCIENCE etc than what would my stand today ?
