CORRIDOR OF BOOKS: MEMORIES, IDEAS AND REFLECTIONS OF A LIBRARY WORKER

摘要

The author clearly states in his introduction that the purpose of writing of this book was to discuss the working experiences of a librarian. It is written in the form of an autobiographical narratives starting from the author's initial short tenures in the Government Departments, and in the University of Delhi where he spent fifteen years in the Faculty of Management Studies. The author narrates his four-year eventful tenure in the Ministry of Culture in detail where he performed a dual role- as the Director of Central Secretariat Library and The Director of the Library Section. In the Ministry he could closely observe the working of the Government as a 'lateral entry' officer. Here he could see how the development projects of the Government slow down due to cumbersome decision-making processes.
