Hello dear collegues
It gives me immense pleasure to write something on this great day. I personally feel that the status of Librarians in India is not good. We have to make people understand our position. I will give you my example. Few days back I appeared in the interview where the experts brought were not even able to understand the positions like Professional Assitant n Semi-Professional Assistant. They were only understanding the word "Librarian". How do you justify this statement when you r suppose to choose a candidate. They were not considering the experience. How Pathetic????????? one more thing the experts had no concept of online journal publication. They didn't even count the points for the journals which are published online which have Impact Factor of more than 2. This is the scenario of most revered PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION of KASHMIR

Dear Dr. Shafi
I am not agree with you because as my knowledge experts know everything but they want to know how much you have knowledge about your subject and profession.

No Mr.Sinha, its not that the experts wanted to chwck my knowledge but these questions were put to us at the time of checking our certificates. They did,t count our experience and same thing was with the people sitting inside. Now its upto you to believe the episode or not, I am not compelling anybody to believe me.
