Dear Dr. Barman,

Thanks for your post. It is indeed a great achievement. As a professional I convey heart felt appreciation to Assam College Librarians' Association & its President Dr. Deka & Prof. Lahkar.

Sincerely,

Congratulations for great decision & this post

Respected Dr. Barman,

thank you for sharing such a news containing a progressive initiative for our profession.

I want to appreciate the thoughtful and generous effort of  Assam College Librarians' Association and my regards.

Surajit Sarkar

Is it NON-VOCATIONAL OR NON-VACATIONAL....????? Kindly check it.

VOCATION Means Job, Occupation or business. So as per notification Librarianship is neither a job nor an occupation.

If I am correct than get it rectified as early as possible. Otherwise we'll loss the sanctity of our profession.

rgds.

Dr. J K Samyal
