Why are NON-NET experienced people are being ignored from Assistant Librarian, is it justified

 

I have come across a job post in one of the Universities, the job is for Assistant Lbrarian, they need a person who is m.lib with UGC-NET. I want to know is it justitfied 1. A person who has UGC-MET but have no experience can handle a University Library ?. 2. Why are Non-NET people who are more experience and can handle University/Institute/College Library every efficiently are ignored every time ...when a job for Assistant Librarian appears. It is injustice and something has to be done. It is serious matter because it is a matter of people who have good experience but are being ignoured/bypassed since they do not have just one qualification and that is NET. Is this correct, let's be concern and think about them. This is happening every then and now. Sanjay Garg

you are right............

You r right. I am also very sad seeing this. but what we should do ?

NET is a parameter not qualification, so for dedicated professionalism we have to qualify the parameter.

 

Only experience can not be a eligibility. Person with 10+2 can also handle the library if he/she has experience. We can't say that we have experience, and can handle the work of Deputy commissioner. One requires to pass IAS. Similarly the university level posts.

Ok let us assume and agree what you said but u have not understood my question, my question is people who have passed net 90% of them does not possess experience in handling the library at that level of Assistant Librarian post, do they deserve to be at that post? and people with so much of experience but are not able to pass NET due to uncertain curcumstances and have established libraries successully have to succumb to work forcibly under a non experience Assistant Librarain. IS IT JUSTIFIED??? 

 qualifying  NET is based on{{{{{cramming}}}}}}}}. so its not necessary that he/she  handle library. here so

((((skills)))))), {{{{{ability}}}}}

should be examined. so not deserve 90%. but because NET is parameter. so fair selection should be done by panel. corruption in India is main problem. so  overcome these problem only two things here   {{{{ do or die   }}}}.

I am not agree with your question

dear becoz net is a compalsary qualification for AL and should try to clear net for it

In my view there no question raises of in-justice if you are requested to clear NET and apply for AL post in the University. Though you are experienced in other kind of libraries you need to get trained to handle the in-house activities of the University libraries. NET is an eligibility criteria you have to clear. otherwise with experience you can get very good jobs in corporate sector with higher pay

There is a some parameter for selection of the any post. UGC -NET is the parameter to get the job.so instead of thinking of why this injustice? within that time we can put effort and pass right

Hi,

I think Assistant Librarian post is equivalent to Assistant Professor, thats why qualifications become equivalent...... experience is  not a matter for the selection of AL, if you having the prescribed qualification then you will get advantage for your experience....

Dear Biju, 

you are exactly right whatever may be the experience but UGC has some parameters to selection of assistant librarian or a assistant professor. so instead of the discussion we have to concentrate on how to pass the exam
