We should take the second step for Mandatory library staff structure and Pay scale
I have noticed that all the library professionals are discussed about the e-journals mandatory and the court case against that.
There are tremendous improvement in the services and status of library in the modern era by the collection of e-journal/resource.
We should not worry about the mandatory subscription of e-journals. I think it is in favour of Librarian. If a library have not collection of e-journals, so how can we think to improve our self (Librarian or Library staff) in digital world. I think it is the first step from the AICTE side in the digital collection. Mostly private technical Institute libraries are not fully computerized and have not the digital collection. We always say that we are living in the digital age but in real we are not. We are live in paper.
We should take the second step for improve our-self.
Second Step is:
Why do we not discuss about the library staff structure mandatory for managing the e-journals and the whole library activity? Is only librarian sufficient to manage the library?
We are worried about the money which will be spent on e-journals but we are not worried about our library professionals who are working and providing library services at lower salary. In all the technical Institution of India there are only 1 or 2 library professionals.
Are there possible to manage e-journals and library work by 1 or 2 library professionals?
Why we are not raising a question about the library staff structure and pay scale in Technical Institutions?
For the above points success we should be in unity.

Dear you have raised a valid point.I feel that we library professionals are responsible for state of affairs espesially in private institutions due to our selfishness.
Most of the institutions pay for one librarian, who in turn help institution to exploit other library professionals in the same institution.They are niether paid as per AICTE norms nor their cases recommended by the Librarian to the Management.

Dear Rajender
You are right that there is no mandatory provision about Library staff in approval process book of AICTE. We should take this matter to the AICTE and Education ministry. Dr. Ranganathan had given staff formula but that is not implemented anywhere. Let's unite and do the needful.
