Yes, I agree with you. As the Library professionals require practical knowledge & experience in the field, their skills & proficiency towards their work needs to be tested. Just instead of asking questions and answers, it will not solve the purpose. A library professional, who is in touch with the subject may pass NET without any trouble and then when she/he goes to the job they may find it difficult to adopt to the situation. The institution also anyhow accommodates them permanently as there is no other professional available with NET. I have seen a lots of persons working in various university/college libraries are thinking that their job is permanent and there is no need to put any more effort to save their job. And after some probationary experiences, they become routine government employee and they even do not update themselves to cater the society as a library professional.

Our library science profession needs drastic changes which will bring back honour to the profession. Both Professionals and Authorities must think dynamically to add quality services to the needy.

Hence, it is my opinion also that only the NET qualification should not be considered to get the job as it require more parameters to be assessed.

good morning

dear answer of your fist question is yes the syllabus of net is relevant for the job of asst. librarian. it is a certain level of knowledge test professional can clear it. it should be necessary for future.so that a certain level professional come to this field and make a good impression.

second q i agree with u its not necessary any one can do better but it is sure that net clear professional is better with knowledge most times.there is a corrupted system if there is no net the approach & back door entry became heavy.

yes its good idea it can be done with certain experience and advanced course diploma professional can be benefited.

I am agree with you that thir is no link between Net syllabus and Librarian professional work. but i think Net is the medium of your evaluation. I mean it is a criteria to select a eligible condidate in many peoples. as for as in iAS Exam student are command over their selective subject but their is no use of that subject in administration.

Ans. 1. Yes, I think their is a important link between NET Test and requirement of librarian. As we all know NET formula has been adopted by Ministry of Education with great care for selecting the right candidate who has undergone hardship of labour and has tasted what actually higher studies means.

2. It depends, a person with high caliber who could not perform well in NET can also be worth getting the regular appointment. One cannot assert that only NET and JRF qualified candidates would be a better option.

3. Ofcourse, the idea is appreciable but who will bell the Cat.
