“Professionally qualified library staff are to be treated as academician staff”.

UGC’s letter dated 18.1.1961 to the Registrar of University mentions that the UGC had decided to upgrade the status of library staff in the universities and colleges and “Professionally qualified library staff  are to be treated as academician staff”. It is, thus, submitted that right from 1961,library staff has been treated as academic staff, i.e. teachers.
 
UGC, the Executive Council of University of Delhi has also decided on 30th January, 1984 recognizing librarians etc. as teachers of the University. He also referred to letter dated 16thMarch, 1992 addressed by UGC to Registrar, Pondicherry University as per which Assistant Librarians/
Documentation Officer, Deputy Librarians and Librarians were given the status of teaching staff.
 
Librarians are to be treated as teachers, he argued that the post of librarian itself is a teaching post as the very function of the librarian is teaching and aiding in learning process of students, research scholars and even teachers. The fact is that Librarian performs both teaching and research role as they formally and informally instruct students, advice and assist
factually and are themselves involved in the research. The librarians in the universities have always been treated at par with the teachers. Notification issued on 30 June 2010.
