What kind of interaction/co-ordination should a librarian have with Career Guidance Cell/Career development professionals of the college to develop career information resources and to provide career information service in Arts & Science degree college library? Pl. give your valuable ideas.

Librarian has to work in collaboration with other members of the career guidance cell and faculty in general. He can arrange for invited lectures, organize seminars and discussion groups. Further with the help of multimedia packages he can organize various seminars for career information.

• Librarian can gather career data from print, audio / visual, electronic and web-based sources and maintain special files/folders for easy access by students.

• Librarian ought to introduce variety of career information services that may include information literacy, career information, career counseling, etc.

• Librarian has to interact with students and ascertain their needs to maintain profiles. He can revise existing programmers or introduce novel ones based on the feedback from the users and suggestions of alumni.
