Librarian Resume Example

School and college library positions in India require both technical library science credentials (UGC-NET, M.L.I.Sc.) and demonstrable experience with LMS platforms such as Koha or SOUL, digital databases like INFLIBNET, and collection management metrics. Selection committees — especially in UGC-affiliated and NAAC-assessed institutions — look for candidates who can grow digital access, improve cataloguing accuracy, and deliver information literacy training, not merely manage physical stacks. Quantifying collection size, e-resource counts, and user-satisfaction data sets strong candidates apart.

  • Quantify collection size (volumes, e-journals) and any growth or migration work you led; it shows scale of responsibility.

  • Describe user-facing programmes (information literacy workshops, orientation sessions) with participant counts to show public-service orientation.
  • Include professional memberships (ILA, IASLIC) as they signal ongoing engagement with the library science community.
