Dear madam,

Every profession has its own merits and demerits.If we are unable to get good opportunity it is our weakness. We are responsible for it. Yaa you are right that there are so many anomalies in this profession ,we should do something unitedly but it is not as easy. But it does not mean that we can not wish librarian's day. Ten years ago nobody was aware about Librarians Day but today we know  what is this , This is also one step in the awareness of profession. It will take time but the time will come and this profession will grow up and anomalies will also be diffused. I appreciate the efforts of the KLA and the professional indulged in LIS LINK and I assure you that nobody will forget it after getting a good job but I hope that they will be able to do something better when they will have a better position. So We shouuld celebrate our profession inspite of cursing it. If we will not respect our profession then who will ?

I wish all my friends A very happy Librarians Day and hope a better future tomorrow.

Dear Ms. Smitha;

I am not going to convey proverbial "Thanks" to you for your post but rather congratulate you (albeit with a heavy heart) for addressing an issue which strikes straight into one's heart. However, I am not sure whether it makes any sense ( I am not using the word feelings!) of pain among heartless WE!!

I am sure that many of the common Indians whom we call AAM ADMI will have the same exasperation (as voiced in your post) tomorrow morning when many of the LUCKY US will celebrate the Grand Independence Day!!

I am not going to console you either as it is a fact(and may be and quite possibly) that you too will virtually forget the issue when you will get a befitting job for yourself!

I have addressed the issue several times in several occasions in this forum and just repeating my personal consensus about this profession and reasons of its down-fall. Honestly speaking, virtually NONE OF US (as I believe) came to this profession by CHOICE; we opted this profession out of COMPULSION only. I do not believe any child has ever dreamt of being a Librarian as one dreams of being a Doctor or Engineer or a sports person or a Teacher. When we land up into this profession, we discover that there are lots of irregularities.We often tell tall talks about the profession, A Library is the heart of an institute or a Library is the temple of knowledge etc. etc. But practically speaking, Libraries are basically a compulsive part of  academic institutions which the managements have to keep some times despite their willingness! Incidentally, in government sector, there exist a proverbial structure and Libraries are one among the modules. In profit making or private organizations (Except where there are serious R&D establishments) libraries are just ceremonial necessity (for securing affiliations/recognitions or an ingredient to ensure students' enrollments etc) As such, quite naturally, they will provide that much importance as it requires to make their purposes fulfilled! At this circumstances, as I personally believe, until and unless there is strong legal and administrative dictum from the affiliate/administrative bodies, the situation will remain all the same. The associations have very little to do in this respect. As for example, if the Association in your state urges all the professionals not to join in any private institute unless they pay at par with government organizations what will you people do? I am confident that 99% of the prospective candidates will defy the Association"s appeal!! And never-the-less, this is applicable to any State and even any Country where rates of unemployment is considerably high! if this is the situation, accusing the associations is not very sensible. what I gathered from your post, your State association has done presumably what they are capable of doing. I salute them. What I believe, I am repeating once again, is enforcement of rules of law by the government and affiliate bodies and restrict of inflow of people in this profession by limiting seat capacities in Universities.If supply will become limited, cost will automatically go up.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
