At NLSA I do believe we need to have a CEO and a National Librarian, by saying this we need both expertise and also how the institution has devalued.

It's better to hire someone who will have contribution to the overall effectiveness of library services. We all know that qualified librarians possess specialized knowledge and skills. They also play a pivotal role in improving the user experience within libraries.

It is very disturbing to hear that a person without library profession is allowed to lead people with qualifications. Only people with library qualification should be given a chance to lead

LIS leadership should consist of individuals who have grown and risen within the LIS field. This will ensure effective and ethical leadership, relatable to long standing LIS challenges.
