Does a school librarian in fact belong to a Non-teaching category of staff?

A school librarian is supposed to classify, catalogue, index, abstract, organize knowledge and reference services. He or she further, require organizing study groups, debates, quizzes, essays, taking formal classes, collect and disseminate information from other sources or internet etc to the students and teachers. He or she also provides Career guidance and counseling, Current Awareness Services (CAS) and e-resources to the students. Further,  He or she takes formal classes, prepere time table, complete the duties of a class teacher, invigilation and many other academic works.

Are all these more clerical jobs?

Yes, If we see with the eyes of an Administrator, Librarian is a Non Teaching Category Staff. But as far as the philosophy of Librarian-ship and duties of a Librarian is more than a teaching staff. He provides necessary information to students as well as to teachers. Where as teachers provide information to the students only. For providing information students both teacher & Librarian should be enough qualified. with out qualification, ability and knowledge one can not provide to others.

In addition to the students, Librarians used to handle teachers knowledge quest then one can easily guess the status of a librarian in a School.

Beside providing information to Student community and Teaching Community, One & Only one; Librarian is there in the school who can handle the matters of typical Clerical & Accounts...
No satisfaction level only work, work and work, not get respect as teacher. Sorry to say but in academic private institutions library staff is not much more than clerical staff. what are doing AICTE, ILA, UGC and other organization.  May be they all here to get benefit or income not more than that.
yes sir you are correct
are all these jobs are more clerical
are all these jobs clerical works?

Dr. Saab, i think whatever u have write, this is your personal experience, and it is true? Librarian jobs are differ from elementary level organization to higher level organisation.It is fact that in school level librarian duty is very hard, there are only one librarian and may be one library clerk could not be provide all services to the students. Obviously, this is partiality as compare to teaching staff of the schools. The Education Deptt, Govt of india, Library Science Association, etc. organization should be do for said situation.

Keep it up!

With Regards,

Dr. Akhtar Hussain

yes akhtar sir lib associations should raise the voice. All the association should think about the problem and meeting should  not be for tea and samosas.
