| Abstract: | The
paper identifies the existing promotional avenues for university librarians in Sri Lanka, the
basic requirements
needed
for these avenues, the obstacles and obstacle mitigating strategies. The
research design of the study comprised of
three
steps, viz., literature analysis, survey based on telephonic interviews, and
finally, the opinion modeling. It was found
that
the major problems that hinder career advancement prospects among librarians
are a combination of professional duties
with
research and publication requirements, inadequate opportunities to reach the
rank of librarian and lack of higher
educational qualification requirements. |
