Questions which do not have any answer....!!

Dear All,

Today I came across some questions which one of my friend asked me and I was unable answer to him. He asked me three questions...

Q1. A person in mid thirties has done MLIS through distance education and have qualified UGC NET but he does not have any experience in working in a library. Do you think he will be seriously considered for post of asst. librarian in any school/college/university??

Q2. How important is the knowledge of local language in getting employment? Is it not possible for a Delhite to get a job in South India without knowledge of Tamil, Telegu or Malayalam??

Q3. Is acquiring LIS degree from distance education is useless if one wants to built a career in library field??

 Please give your views.

Answer for Q. No.1.  If some one got degree either distance mode or regular mode and qualified UGC NET. It means he possess good knowledge in this field. therefore, he will appear in the interview then expert team will decide his/her appointment. As you know, simple graduate is eligible for IAS becoz he/she is found broad minded.

Answer for Q No.2. Mostly in southern India, i.e. A.P. Tamil Nadu, Kerala, etc. have their regional language. On large amount of people speak regional language only there. i.e. telgu, tamil, malayam, punjabi.etc. where regional language is mandatory.

Answer for Q. No. 3. It does not matter on education can be done either regular or in distance mode in this field. knowledge can be done seriously. all degrees are equivalent in this field. if some one through distance mode have good knowledge and may be better than regular.

Thanks!

Thank you Sir

DEAR ANJAN 

1 IF ANY PERSON WHO GET MLIS THROUGH DISTANCE EDUCATION AND GET NET AND HAS NO EXPERIENCE OF LIBRARY HE MUST BE CONSIDER FOR ASSISTANT LIBRARIAN ACCORDING TO HIS TALENT AND INTEREST IN LIBRARY FIELD.

SPECIALLY IN STATE GOVT SERVICES THE STATE GOVT PREFER TO LOCAL CANDIDATE FOR JOB  SO LOCAL LANGUAGE IS MORE IMPORTANT DELHITE CAN APPLY IN HINDI STATES WHERE SOUTHERN PEOPLE CAN'T DUE TO HINDI

3 IF YOU GET YOUR DEGREE WITH KNOWLEDGE AND DEDICATION THEN THERE IS NO USELESS OF THE DEGREE MANY STUDENTS WHO GET DEGREE IN LIBRARY SCIENCE THROUGH REGULAR UNIVERSITIES BUT THEY HAVE NOT INTEREST IN LIBRARY FIELD THEN THEY ARE FAILURE IN GETTING JOB AND WHAT IS THE GUARANTEE OF REGULAR STUDENTS THAT THEY HAVE SOUND KNOWLEDGE OF LIBRARY SCIENCE

4 SO REMOVE THESE THOUGHTS FROM YOUR MIND AND MUST CREATE INTEREST IN LIBRARY FIELD AND LOVE TO YOUR PROFESSION  

Thanks Sir

Dear Anjan Das,

Why should one find these questions difficult to answer?

Ans 1. Definitely yes.  The person can be considered seriously for the post of assistant librarian in university - experience shall be preferable though.  Also in extraordinary cases, extraordinary exemptions can also be made.

Ans 2. Knowledge of local language shall be an added advantage but absence of it should not be a limiting factor to be considered for the post. It is not an insurmountable barrier.

Ans 3. Policy makers have come up with the whole idea of distance education for people with scarcity of  resources (time and access to nearby educational institutions and host of other factors) to help them build a career in their chosen field and not to make it a useless affair!

Dear Anjan,You think it,s correct but I give u my Example I am Passed net exam in 32 of my age and I got job in next months of passing,If u understand our national language and English very fluently I think there is no problem in south India also and your education mode is not a problem because its depend upon your grasping of knowledge and how you implement it in your presentation. 

Thanks Sir

My opinion on 1st query: 

Do not try for Asst. librarian, Be serious in doing Research in LIS  and go for  Ph.D degree and you will get lectureship in Univ where experience is not mandetory .

2nd query:

Local language is required in job in private and Govt. academic libraries but not in Govt. Research Libraries.

 

3rd Query:

I agrree with your 3rd query.

 

Thanks
