Are Library and Information Professionals are sweepers?

In Gujarat the Library and Information Science professionals have no value. We are like peon. Our salary is 900 to 2,500 per month, but our expenditure on education is Rs. 22,000.

My friends please do something to improve the situation. We have to evolve to demonstrate what really the librarianship is.

Some strong library association should be formed.

In Karnataka there is a similar situation, for teaching faculty Who have done MPhil get one advance increment, but for us no increment....

in gujarat gov decided to NO recruit in present and future for MPHIL. so it is totally in justice.

Dear Harshal,
I am agree with you, Not is Gujarat only, in other state no value of lis professionals. In private sector situation is very bad. As-private medical colleges. Recruitment time they want very highly qualifications but they don't give high salary. Govt. of India only see own lis staff. ILA must take action for this and communicate with Govt. of India and other state Govt's for this.

sir U r right but as a MLISC student i don't want High salary i just want only 3500 to 5500 at starting level. but If u listen when i am saying now a sentence Our degree is sold out in market. One homeopath collage purchase a man and he/she geting 10000 p.m. and doing other business. when on behalf of Librarian 18 to 15 yr's GIRLS are handling library without degree / knowledge.

SHOCKED!! 

this is reality. like Pharmacists. One nursing collage rajkot offering 1500 rs per month and wish MLISC + Net.

Ha ha ha.. What a Joke sir...U know we Have to come togather on one satge otherwise private Uni/collages

will drink us.

Same story every where, basically people have a perception that librarians have no work or very simple work. If its is so why is the timings more than faculty. Academic Librarian is even worse than a clerk. If librarian is consider as non teaching , their timings are more than faculty and they are not given vacations then y they are give libray periods to manage a whole calss of 50 students. We all are doing discussions but what actuallyexactly can be done nothing....................

Dear Harshal Anjaria,

When a person have a wealth of knowledge have not to worry about the future. Only he has to passed through the hard time with the passion and get the minimum experience in their respective job field.

Library profession is a profession of the knowledge. We have not depressed with-in our hard time of the  period. Opportunity is wide only person have to try and try until he get their goal, and for that do not stay more then three year at one place of job.Vacancies are their only person have to try with the full of confidence and applied the experience at the time of an interview. Be ready to do the job at any place of the country, and definitely person will achieved the Goal at after shifting of the job places at last, but not with-in the entry level.

please do not compared library professional with other job, only with the criteria of the salary. they are at their level and do their job. We are at our level and do the job with the knowledge sharing.

Thanks.

U R RIGHT SIR BUT IF ANY ONE FRESHER GO FOR INTERVIEW HE MUST GET 50 RS PER DAY AS A 

LABOUR. IF ONE CART MAN CAN EARN 40 TO 80 RS PER DAY WHY LIBRARIAN SALARY IS 50 RS TO 150 RS PER DAY?

I AM NOT SAYING THAT IN STARTING THE INSTITUTE HAS TO PAY 3000 PER MONTH. BUT THE SALARY 

THEY SPOKE WHICH ANY ONE CAN EAR'S LIKE. ...LIKE 2000, 2500, 3000 BY chipak ke rahena in one institute should grow salary. my friend is doing job in academic library  in JAMNAGAR city, gujarat science last 7 years

his salary is still 7000/-. then he has no choice either change colllage.

Thnxs for reply.

U R FULLY RIGHT.THIS SITUATION IS NOT ONLY IN  GUJRAT ,BUT OVERALL INDIA.I WORKED IN DELHI,ANDHRA AND KARNATAKA.EVERYWHERE I OBSERVED SITUATION LIKE THIS.LIS PROFESSIONALS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS TYPE OF SITUATION BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT UNITED.BHARAT JAISE DESH KA YEH ITIHAS RAHA HAI KI GADHEY KO LAKH DANDA MARO USPER KOYEE ASAR NAHIN HOTA.OUR POLITICAL SYSTEM IS WORST.PUBLIC OPINION IS WORST.YEH DESH KA DURBHAGYA HI HAI KI BHAINS KE AGE KITNA BHI BEEN BAJAO USPER KOYEE FARQ NAHEEN PARTA.SABSE BARA DURBHAGYA YEH HAI KI HAMLOG KISI SACHCHAYEE KO ACCEPT KARNA NAHI JANTE AUR NAHI CHAHTE.I DON,T WANT TO WRITE MORE BECAUSE UNLIMITED PAGE WILL BE FILLED....

Thnxs for Support us. and reply me..

Everyone is expressing their views. I am asking what is to be done. kya karna hai how we could be united. what steps shall we take. Can we all meet and make a group and go to some emplouer to upgrade librarians status.. NO. So what is tobe done. This ithe situation because we accept this situation.

step one. 

1. khud ko andar se jagrup kaRna ki main chahe dusara nukri ya business karunga lekin 50 rs per day main job nahi karunga/karungi.

2.sab ka facebook a/c comp. and orkut pe bhi.

3. sab se pahele ak blog all india hona chaiye.

4. localized  networking mazboot karna chaiye.

7. seminars main log eekatha hote hi hain to kyu na sab apane apane mails id formed kare.

8.main alag hu sanstha alag hain ye samaj kar sastha ko ish bare main debets main nahi lana hain ki
