UGC, the Executive Council of University of Delhi has also decided on 30thย January, 1984 recognizing librarians etc. as teachers of the University. He also referred to letter dated 16thMarch, 1992 addressed by UGC to Registrar, Pondicherry University as per which Assistant Librarians/
Documentation Officer, Deputy Librarians and Librarians were given the status of teaching staff.

Librarians are to be treated as teachers, he argued that the post of librarian itself is a teaching post as the very function of the librarian is teaching and aiding in learning process of students, research scholars and even teachers.
