It is undenyable that a librarian, although he is not a formal member of the teaching faculty, performs academic functions, and sustain and enriches the academic process. While a teacher may have specialised in a particular branch, the librarian is required to have a wide overall acquaintance with various disciplines in order to be able to bring the scholars face to face with knowledge in diverse areas.

In order to base career prospects on merit, competence and ability, it is essential to introduce a system of assessment for the librarians. As in the case of teachers, this assessment should consist of a combination of self-assessment and external assessment.

 Regarding the qualification, the Committee recommends that

University Librarian: The qualifications must be in general, comparable to those of Professors in the Universities.

Deputy Librarian: The qualifications must be in general, comparable to those of Readers in the Universities.
