The Scenario of Human Resources in Public Libraries: A Pakistani Perspective.

This study analyzed the human resources of public libraries in Pakistan. It was observed that LIS professionals administered most libraries; nevertheless, a sizable number of libraries were managed by personnel with no professional background. There needed to be more staff in public libraries, including LIS, IT, and nonprofessional staff. In the information age and global economy, our libraries fall short of preparing the population for the future, let alone the present. The concerned authorities should enhance the library's workforce; professionals should administer the library to offer better services and IT experts should be hired to solve IT related issues.
