Hello Jyoti
Its not only with the school librarian its happen with all the library professional if the said that they are working as a librarian but if u just change the terminology then u get attention u can say ur a information manager at school, or knowledge manager at co., In our country no body gives value to the Library professional, even I m rec'd so many calls from banks for their scheme but when I said that I m a librarian by profession they cut the line even once I scold one person n ask her have u ever attend the college n if yes then hav u use the library in ur college or not, one of my friend tell me that the students who came to u library n they are begging at the time of exam, after leaving school, or college when once they met their library staff they did not recognized him/her.
Its all depend on the LIS professional it self
one of my male frnd who is even not much qualified in this profession but hav working exp, so many people know him n recognized him even the students n the other staff of his ex inst. or co. where he worked.
So many lis professionals also recognized him, so its depends the professional on herself/himself.
Hi Jyoti,
U R not wrong at all. But always keep it in your mind that a person is recognised by his/her personality, characteristics & exposer. First of al, we, the Library Professionals acquire our bachelor degree in LIS after finishing formal Bachelor Degree & then get the M.LIS.Sc as usual. So academically we aren't below standard, so we shouldn't be inferior-minded in that sense also. Moreover, each & every Institution is built up on its avilable Learning Resources & obviously its optimal utilisation depends on how the concerned Library Professional can provide his/her service in multifarious ways.
So u should expose your knowledge in such a way so that u can be an integral part of the development of that particuler Institution.
Remember that when any Institution applies for AICTE approval, then Library infrastructure, LIS Professional's qualification etc. are vital parameters without which approval is denied.
So suceess depends upon u r bold approach, attitude & service.

Dear, why u think like that,if u have good hold on your subject this show your quality ,ever one need a quality person.when u face interview that time your confedence level is low due to job in school level so u think interviewer did not take u normaly because u job in school, so dear high your confidence level because every institue want good and quality person wheter he/she is new one or experience,so dont think u work in school levelso they treat like that.
I am a corporate librarian. Recently our office has conducted a poll "which department is best in office". 70% of employee has voted in the favour of my library...or I can say my library is on the top of all departments. At that time I feel glad of being a librarian.
This happiness not last longer...soon came the appraisal time ...and you know they gave me just 5% hike. When I raise the voice they said there are lots of librarians in the market who do this job in less than my salary. They said, anyone can do issue/ return ...why we need a library science professional even office boy can do this. This word is from HR global head...can you imagine...
I feel proud of being associated with library but when I compare my salary and facilities with other staff, I feel I came to wrong profession
Dear Ashok,
I,as a LIS Professional, really feel ur worst feelings---- it's true that there are such type of people in the higher positions also who possess the MENTALITY which ur HR Head possessed, butI think that HR personnel also acquire his/her Degree with the help of good "Learning Resources" which manytimes probably cann't be provided by any office boy. Again in the Corporate level, when work-stress is so high to bear, LIBRARY is like a place of HEAVEN to cater mental-peace to the Employees & it can only be possible to provide with the exact quality Library Professsionals.
Day will surely come when people can realise our contribution to the society( be as a Motivator or as a Character Builder or as an Information Provider), on which the society was built up & society will be built up.
THANKS,
