Abstract

Librarianship has traditionally been considered to be a generalised service profession which involves the job of information management in a supporting role. The advancement of ICT mediated information processing has transformed librarianship as a highly specialised career opportunity. The paper carried out a study to find out the students perception toward librarianship as a profession for marital choices. 200 postgraduate students from both the gender have been surveyed and the result finds that boys are more inclined towards librarianship as a marital choice. The general perception of the students towards librarians is quite positive.

Keywords: Librarianship; Professional Status; Social Status-Librarianship; Marital Choices.
