Niether any academician nor any professional can grow and reach their peak without taking assistance of a librarian. Librarians are like mother and father who give assistance (reference) without any personal interest and purpose.  Don't mine if not getting positive feedback.  KARAM KARO AAGE BADJAO! That is why Librarians are most prestigious and satisfied professionals among all professions.

Good topics As an University Librarian I've seen some of my colleagues ruined their last day at the office while taking no dues certificate as a part of their retirement procedure. Believe me I found tears in their eyes while depositing a fat amount as a penalty for doing the good deed to favor the scrupulous readers who never bothered to  returned the books issued in the librarians/library staffs name. .... expecting more bitter stories from others.

Best regards

This is really sad situation of our profession in some organizations dear Sarbjit. You should take a stand and convince your authorities to intake more staff in the library.

Every Profession has some ups and downs.........But I feel neglecting Librarian in administrative set-up is the biggest blunder in this whole education set-up. Why can't a Librarian be the Principle of a school, when an art & craft teacher can? What is the set of traits to be the Head of an Institution which a librarian doesn't have? Why only  Librarian in a University or college should not be given responsibility as a administrator and even after 25-30 years of experience, retires as Librarian. I just can't understand this whole scenario?

Dear Tarvinder

 

I had worked in many places from college, special colleges, technical college, university and research institutes too. One thing was always in common that no one want a librarian but they need him too. It means they want only work but no rules regulations or any bindings. In short they need clerks not librarian, who does not have  a voice too.

But sailing in the adverse water is what for we are meant. I like the way it is and start pushing things in order whether they like it or not but just keep doing at certain point you will find some admirers too.

 

Thus my basic aim/policy is that just keep doing work things will change but you must have determination too to resist the pressure.

 

This is all I would like to share with our colleagues.

regards

Dear Dr. V.R.Tiwari

Your response is very much true as the facts narrated by you depicts the narrow mindedness of people handling educational set ups towards library professionals. But the time has come and they need to awake that we are not an unwanted stuff in their respective organization.

Yes, for a time being sailing against the tide is right way to progress........as suggested by you.
