KSWU, Bijapur: Running its Library without Librarian, Deputy and even without Assistant Librarian since 2003.

Do you all know? Karnataka State Women’s University, Bijapur (Started in 2003) has "Library & Information Science Department" for MLISc course, but they don’t have full-fledged Library and Full time Library Professionals, Library is under supervisions of Faculty of LIS as a "In-Charge", who are not assigned to role "Librarian"/ "Deputy Librarian" / "Assistant Librarian", they are ad-hoc roles to LIS Dept HOD's of this University.

Does the University management and Dept of LIS, in combined, proving that "Library is no more essential part of any educational institutes".

I would like to ask our LIS teachers of KSWU, Bijapur, what you are doing is not only harm our profession, it also gives assumption to management that "any Teacher can runs the Library, no need to get a practicing Librarians", today it is Library Science teacher, tomorrow it might be any other teacher.

I agree with shweta patil..

Running a library without full time professional Librarian is a crime in modern information society. I strongly opposed the concept of professor in-chargeship in University Library system.
Dr. Vivekanand Jain
At many places, our own Library professionals are responsible for professor in-chargeship as well as NFS in appointments.
