Admin/other irrelevant job works thrusted on Librarians in many Private Organisations.
Why are Librarians/ Information Service Professionals given works other than Library-related.
My observation is unfortunately most of the LIS Professionals do not show what a Information Professional can cater to, other than managing physical stock, in library. So Managements' see the idleness and try to dump some admin/HR related works.
Recently I came across a PHD Librarian taking care of Admin works like Office photocopy division, Inward letter register, HR Forms and othe such works, even when there is an Admin & HR personnel in their office.
This is just one case, but quiet a lot are into such situations.

Dear librarian,
for avoiding this situation librarian must show all library in house work that they do to maintain the library updated. even have a habit to submit weekly or semester wise( 6 monthly) working done by them. so administration & management notice their effort for the institution.
