Dear Singh Sir,

Simply, this is a great contribution.

I think we all the professionals should write in non Library and Information Science journals, magazine and newspaper so that we can make the general people aware of the Librarianship and Libraries. There is very little benefit of writing and telling success stories related to libraries among the LIS Professionals. If we are really serious about this profession we should go to the masses and tell them what they will miss and in most cases missing by ignoring the role of libraries and librarians.

Your write up is quite bold and in many cases depict the true picture. Though in some instances I am unable to agree with your views. However you well deserve the appreciation for taking time and trouble in bringing some burning issues to the educated masses through University News.

Here is a clap for you. :-)

Anyway we heard about this news before you post it, through http://lislinks.com/forum/topics/libraries-without-librarians but yes it needs one more touch.

Dear Dr. Singh,

 

You have shown the  whole world "True Story of Current scenario Libraries in India".

Moreover, I too feel ashamed of our status in the society and I strongly confess we the Library professionals are also equally responsible for this pathetic status of Librarianship along with Academic Management / University Authorities.

 

We need to ask ourselves, mainly our LIS Teaching professionals in the Universities. If this Situation is going to continue for another few years they needs to close the Departments. Equally our so call Indian Library Professional Bodies, who are mostly busy with conducting “International”(…!!!???) Conference & giving each other “Best Librarian” (.!?) Awards. Please Fight to save the Librarianship profession.

 

Many colleges in India offering salary less than Rs.5000/- to Librarians and we foolish fellows accepting the offers. Stop accepting such offers and try to prove you are also learned professional like other Teachers.

 

I am frustrated Librarian…

Dear Singh Sir,

First of all very very happy Librarians Day !!!! 

i am agree with Dr. Badan Barman sir & Ajay M. sir opinion.

What is the image of librarians in the society ? 

Who is the responsible for this ? 

What should be young professional do for better future of LIS ? 

Why not we spread positive thought of LIS in society ? 

What is the role of our LIS Association ? 

there are number of questions.  

Dear Sir,

Thanks for writing the true fact. All Interview Experts should read this article.

Dear,

Congratulations dear on perfect, crisp Article at the time when our profession is sinking and loosing all its shine and charm.... with no recognition anywhere ........nothing is being done for the enhancement of the profession ..everything is busy in creating his /her professional niche nothing serious is being done in creating serious efforts for the profession front or strengthening its basic structure that is professional Association or on the Govt. front. GILA is dead ILA is doing nothing and our cell in the Ministry of Culture to hear our problems has become defunct.

A serious thinking is needed for pulling the right strings in right ways and ur Article is has painted a true picture of most of us are facing in the current prevailing time in our professional life.

three cheers to u dear for sincere efforts to put forth some issues ailing our profession. Looking forth for some more genuine efforts  like this...
