Dear Friends,
Sorry to say this. We are call ours self as Professionals. Many of the institutions are not giving that much of respect given to compare with other teaching professionals. For a namesake only, the institutions given the teaching category for Librarians.
The problem begins with the affiliation bodies like AICTE/UGC. They are asking to submit the librarian details under non teaching category. If the library Professionals consider as teaching staff mean why the AICTE ask to submit the details under the non teaching category. If the Librarian is teaching faculty means AICTE ask to submit the details along with the teaching category. Why these partially follow the AICTE? In the mandatory disclosure also, the Librarian profile is neglected.
It is happening in the majority of the self financing institutions. A teaching staff may have a PG degree and without essential previous experience are getting the full AICTE pay scale without any struggle from the first month onwards. In the case of the Librarian, the librarian should have MLIS, MPhil and more than 3 years past work experience as a qualification to get a job the Academic Institutions. Many of the private institution are showing the Librarian in the AICTE pay scale. The reality is that Librarians are getting the consolidate pay which lesser than 10000.
1. Where we are stand in this issue?
2. What we are going to do in this issue?
3. How do we insist the affiliation bodies to do this job?
4. When we will get our professional accreditation?
