What should be the prescribed Qualifications for the post of Library Technical Assistant

Dear All,

I have assigned a work to collect the prescribed qualifications for the post of Library Technical Assistant for the University Library who will look after the technical problems related to the computer hardware and software and routine problem which are faced by the library staff and users. Actually we are planning to convert one post of Library Assistant with Library Technical Assistant.

Therefore, all my respected friends hereby requested to please give some solutions or what should be the qualification and experience, if any.

Waiting for all of your response.ย 

Thanks and Regards,

Dear Sir,

Converting a post of aย library into a computer is totally injustice, without checking by advertising or calling applications for the said post. Now, a day library professionalsย are enrolling themselves, for technical education in computer and problem solving. So, as per my opinion, "no conversion of theย post".

If you looking for a person for Hardware and Software both then you will get candidate separately for Hardware and Software because a software graduate B.Tech or B.E generally don't have the hardware background since that is excluded from there syllabus(it might be wrong also).ย 

I would like to suggest that you recommend the qualification, B.Sc (IT) + BLIS or MLIS. Because without having the library education, a core computer science person would always need time to learn them to build an effective system by applying his/her own idea, which of no use. We know the terms, "Professional ethics" and "tacit knowledge", these are the core assets and a real wisdom, can be injected in someone. You can understand what I mean.ย 

You have aย good time to shape your Library as well as of others. You can recommend the above combination (Bsc. IT + BLIS or MLIS) for the T.A. Hope you will get the desired candidate with the motives of shaping libraries in cyberspace.ย 

Thank you.ย

Why don't we consider BLISc. or MLISc. with PGDLAN or any PG Diploma courses as qualifications for Technical Asst. post in our Library or Information system?
