Admin/other irrelevant job works thrusted on Librarians in many Private Organisations.

ย 

Why are Librarians/ Information Service Professionals given works other than Library-related.

My observation is unfortunately most of the LIS Professionals do not show what a Information Professional can cater to, other than managing physical stock, in library. So Managements' see the idleness and try to dump some admin/HR related works.

Recently I came across a PHD Librarian taking care of Admin works like Office photocopy division, Inward letter register, HR Forms and othe such works, even when there is an Admin & HR personnel in their office.

This is just one case, but quiet a lot are into such situations.

Butย  Badan sir, how? and When?

Dear librarian,

for avoiding this situation librarian must show all library in house work that they do to maintain the library updated. even have a habit to submit weekly or semester wise( 6 monthly) ย working done by them. so administration & management notice their effort for the institution.
