I would like your valuable ideas and suggestions...
If there is CAS for Teaching -as Asst Prof , Assoc Prof, and Professors and (head of the department) is on Rotation why can't we have something like:
Asst librarian , Assoc librarian, Librarian and Head Librarian or (Library Director) on Rotation as per head of department. (library is also a department)
OR
Asst Prof (Library and information services), Assoc Prof (LIS) and Prof (LIS) Head Prof (LIS)-tenural
OR
Asst Director (LIS), Assoc Director (LIS) and Director LIS
1.Why should CAS be denied to Deputy librarians having same qualifications, pulications and other work experience which the Assoc professors have it . Is this not academic an descrimination. ?? What can we do collectively to remove this anomaly.
2. As information management is not limited to library only, why cann't the word"Librarian" in the designations be made more open and wider ...perhaps "information Specialist"/ information management specialist, after all we are information specialist. Such wider designations are already being used in United Nations........Time to think and Change our MINDSETS?????
