E-Mail campaign- ILA get well soon
E-Mail campaign - ILA get well soon
We should pray for Indian Library Association because ILA is suffering with Sleeping Sickness, so they can’t hear the voice and feel the pain of LIS professionals. Please forward the following matter with your best wishes to Honorable President and General Secretary of ILA. Every member of LISLINK should send the message so we could send our feelings to ILA.
Email: anugupta160@yahoo.com Secretary
dvs_srcc@rediffmail.com President
Today library professionals are facing a lot of problems and our professional organisation ILA is sleeping.
A library professional faces various problems/ hurdles every day, some of them are as under:
1. Status issue at work place and society
2. Salary and stipend = MNREGA Mazadoor
3. Exploitation in private sector
4. Non teaching Cadre in school/ college and university
5. Unemployment
6. No promotion opportunities for Librarians/ Asst. Librarians in school/ college and university.
7. Condition of School and Public libraries
8. Working Condition and pay scales of Public Libraries
9. No post of librarian sanction in UP State Government senior secondary school
10. No post of librarians in ITIs
11. Less pay bands for librarians in Engineering College and Polytechnic colleges (AICTE norms)
12. Library act/ Legislation is still pending in more than one dozen states
13. Implication of Library act/ Legislation in various states.
14. Our salary is 900 to 2,500 per month, but our expenditure on education is Rs. 22,000/=.
15. Librarian Vacancy published by Haryana Government but qualifications MCA and BE.
There may be various similar issues but
No representation by ILA to Government or Authorities.
Please post your comments and simultaneously forward the message to ILA through email.

Sir
Re-designation of the post Librarian is also a big issue, if we get the Lecturer and TGT/PGT designation in the college and schoool respectively, so it will be a milestone for the community. We can consider as the teaching staff if we get the new designations. .
I have forward the e-mail to ILA President and Secretary.
I am always with you, keep it up..................
