requirements of many disciplines to be taught as minor subject.

Standard 2.6 Information technology component of the curriculum must be integrated

throughout the program:

Almost all the courses/papers of Library and Information Science cover the different

components of Information Technology. Keeping in view some contemporary needs for library

management, some more advanced techniques of Information Technology need to be

incorporated in the curriculum. Hence, components of Information literacy, Software and

Database designing needs to be incorporated in the curricula by conducting a survey about the

competencies needed in different libraries and information settings.

Criterion - 3

Laboratory and Computing Facilities

26

CRITERION-3: LABORATORY AND COMPUTING FACILITIES

All the courses of Library and Information Science program are practical-based for that

purpose the University has provided the facility of computers and Information technology with

in Departmental library. Therefore the library acts as library as well as a computer lab. The

computing facilities are available both for the teachers and students of the department.

The status of existing laboratory is as below:

* Laboratory Title: Library cum Laboratory (Lib./Lab .).

* Location Area: Department of Library and Information Science,

Khushal Khan Khattak University, Karak

* Objectives: 1. To handle the Computer-based practical

2. To train the students in Information technology

applicable to library management.

3. To develop practical skills for designing database,

webpage, Library automation, and building library

networking.

• Adequacy for

Instruction The computer lab comprised of 15 laptops which are

utilized for conducting practical of all the courses but the

existing facility is adequate to some extent that needs to be

extended.

* Courses taught All the courses are taught in class rooms and sometimes in

computer lab for the purpose of practical.

* Software Available: The free of cost software are in use.

* Major Apparatus 15 Laptops, 1 printers, one Multimedia, one

Photocopier and one scanner are available.

Standard 3.1

Laboratory manuals / documentation / instructions experiments must be available and

readily accessible to faculty and students:

All students and teachers have adequate access to manual / documentation and

instructions while using the laboratory. The computer lab is not compatible in terms of proper

number of computers, Library software availability and other practical tools for conducting the

practical works in all the papers being taught. The following shortcomings are noted which are

hurdles on the way to keep the best pace of working environment for achieving the targets rested

with the academic uplifting:

Shortcomings:

a. 1 Scanner

b. 20 Pcs

27

c. 3 Printers

d. A. V. aids

e. Digital camera

f. Practical tools latest.

g. Specialized training of information technology and SPSS.

h. Faculty with certain specialization.

i. Furniture and fixture.

j. Space for class rooms for teaching specialized/optional papers.

k. Course books

l. Library Automation Softwares

m. 3 Multimedia Projectors

Justification of above listed items:

The scanner and digital cameras are required to teach the students about the scanning and

preserving the archival records in the library.

The items listed above i.e., b, c, & d are necessary for extending and upgrading the

computer lab and facilitating the teachers for improving the practical works.

Acquiring the practical tools will upgrade the departmental library for the purpose of

accessing required information whereas, the training facilities will create the skills required for

teaching the courses in more conducive environment

The faculty and space are also required to teach the specialized papers in future along

with furniture and fixture.

Availability of course related books will help the students to get the relevant and latest

information about the field.

The availability of library softwares will help to provide the necessary trainings to the

students

Standard 3.2

There must be adequate support personnel for instruction and maintaining the

laboratories:

The personnel support in shape of lab supervisor is not available; hence the maintenance

of computer lab sometimes becomes a problem. The supervisor for computer lab is needed with

the extended facilities in computer lab. At the moment, a non-professional employee is deputed

to look after the matters of computer lab. Almost all the papers are computer-based-practical and

hence a full time computer lab supervisor can maintain the computer lab in functional order at

the time of practical work in computer lab.

28

Standard 3.3

The University computing infrastructure and facilities must be adequate to

support program’s objectives:

The Khushal Khan Khattak University Karak has adequate and smart computing facilities

with all sorts of support through the Department of Computer Science as and when required

specially at the time of troubleshooting of the computers. Each of the department (including

Department of Library and Information Science) of the university is equipped with Multimedia

and a number of computers with internet connectivity. The internet connectivity is available in

teacher’s offices which facilitates the access to easy information at the time of urgency.

Criterion - 4

Student Support and Advising

30

CRITERION-4: STUDENT SUPPORT AND ADVISING

A time of four years is fixed to complete the program on the basis of time management

policy for all the curricula and co-curricular activities. The vocal students avail the time for

interaction with their teachers relating to their present and future matters on the way, however

the passive students are motivated through other ways, the details of such motivation is ahead.

Standard 4.1

Courses must be offered with sufficient frequency and number for students to complete

the program in a timely manner.

The required and elective courses are offered in a logical sequence that grooms the

students to obtain the program’s defined objectives and outcomes. The faculty members teach

the courses according to time table, designed to run the classes smoothly.

Standard 4.2

Courses in the major area of study must be structured to ensure effective interaction

between students, faculty and teaching assistants.

Students are encouraged to communicate with teachers and para-teaching staff for their

academic and co-curricular activities. The faculty includes highly qualified staff on regular basis

so as to achieve the departmental objectives effectively. Overall, the faculty members are

responsible for major areas of study on the basis of their subject competence. Most of the papers

are completely taught by the individual teachers.

Standard 4.3

Guidance on how to complete the program must be available to all students and access

to academic advising must be available to make course decisions and career choices.

a. Program requirements as whole, students are informed through the Khushal

Khan Khattak University Karak prospectus about the program requirements. The

department-wise program requirements are updated annually at the start of current

academic session to keep the matter in line with university policy in order to

avoid any inconvenience. Moreover, a faculty member (being the student advisor)

is available at departmental level to cope with all the program requirements and

matters concerning to students problems and day to day needs of their academic

achievements.

b. Advising and students counseling system

A faculty member is deputed as Coordinator of Guidance and Career

Counseling. The advising system in the department is run by the coordinator, who

31

arranges the orientation lectures for the student’s guidance and career counseling.

The guidance and counseling process is based on all such activities which the

students and the department feel necessary for the required achievements for their

(students) prosperous career development. The department arranges some

activities in this regard:

• Displaying advertisements of vacant posts appearing in daily newspapers for

the information of the students to get familiar with the avenues where the

opportunities exist for their career.

• Students are free to meet with the coordinator for seeking the guidance and

counseling relating to their problems/matters.

• Sometimes students avail the opportunity of exchanging their views with

guest speakers invited by the department.

• The students have the opportunity of interacting with the library professionals

who visit the department for some professional inputs and outputs. The

students have also the opportunity to join the Pakistan Library Association

(PLA) as a student member of this professional body of national repute.

c. Incharge Students Affairs

To take care of certain academic and nonacademic matters of the students,

the services of Inchage of Students Affairs are available for this purpose. The

office of the Inchage Students Affairs deals with all the activities of scholarship,

fellowships, workshops, and conferences, admissions for different categories,

interdepartmental migration, re-admission and financial assistance for the student

community. The office of students’ affairs also makes plan for co-curricular

activities, book fairs, Sports Gala/competitions and holding the annual

convocation.

More or less, the students get a better opportunity of the services rendered

by Students Advisor, Coordinator Students Guidance and Counseling and

Director Students Affairs. However the co-curricular activities need to be

extended at large scale to break the hesitant and non-confident behaviors of the

students. The extended co-curricular programs will provide a wide range exposure

to the students for facing, bearing and tackling the issues in a coherent way.

32

Criterion-5

Process Control

33

CRITERION-5: PROCESS CONTROL

The overall process is controlled and governed by the Khushal Khan Khattak University

Karak policy and this process is somewhat similar almost in all the departments with some

variations on the basis of subject nomenclature.

Standard- 5.1

council in the light of instructions issued by HEC.

Standard 5.2

The process by which students are registered in the program and monitoring of

students’ progress to ensure timely completion to the program must be documented.

This process must be periodically evaluated to ensure that it is meeting its objectives.

The student’s name, after completion of the admission process, is forwarded to the

Registrar office for registration in the specific program and the registration number is issued.

Students are evaluated through assignments, sessional, mid-term tests and final examinations at

the end of each semester. The laboratory work is done on regular basis as per schedule and

contributes significantly towards the student’s evaluation for relevant course. Only qualified

students in each semester are allowed to join the next semester.

34

Standard 5.3

The process of recruiting and retaining highly qualified faculty members must be in

place and clearly documented. Also processes and procedures for faculty evaluation,

promotion must be consistent with institution mission statement. These processes must

be periodically evaluated to ensure that it is meeting with its objectives.

The higher authorities in consultation with the department advertise and create the new

posts time to time in order to recruit new faculty and retain the qualified faculty on the basis of

eligibility criteria. The opportunities are available to recruit the highly qualified faculty on the

Standard 5.4

The process and procedures used to ensure that teaching and delivery of course

material to the students emphasizes active learning and the course learning outcomes

are met. The process must be periodically evaluated to ensure that it is meeting its

objectives.

The faculty of library and information science plan the teaching and delivery of course

material by observing the class time table in its real sense in order to avoid any inconvenience of

missing the classes. Each of the faculty members prepares course plan on the basis of syllabi

which followed thought-out the year. This helps the faculty for time-bound completion of the

course. Every faculty member provides the detailed course outline to the students as a break up

of topics to be taught. Teaching and course evaluation is carried out through DQA proformas at

the end of academic session and the same is reported to the Director, Quality Enhancement Cell

for reference and record. The department also learns a lesson through this evaluation and tries to

improve the situation on the basis of available resources.

Standard 5.5

The process that ensures that graduates have completed the requirements of the

program must be based on standards, effective and clearly documented procedures.

This process must be periodically evaluated to ensure that it is meeting its objectives.

The prospectus of the university enlists all the requirements which the students have to

penalized by individual departments if they do not fulfill the requirements under the University

rules.

37

Criterion-6

Faculty

38

CRITERION-6: FACULTY

Standard-6.1

There must be enough full time faculties who are committed to the program to provide

adequate coverage of the program areas/ courses with continuity and stability. The

interests and qualifications of all faculty members must be sufficient to teach all

courses, plan, modify and update courses and curricula. All faculty members must

have a level of competence that would normally be obtained through graduate work in

the discipline. The majority of the faculty must hold a Ph. D. in the discipline.

The curriculum of HEC “comprised of 131 credit hours having 42 courses for BS-LIS

Program. The existing faculty is committed to run the program in a team work effort by letter

and spirit. At the moment, two of faculty members hold Ph. D. in the discipline whereas the rest

are MPhil degree holders.

The faculty should seek the opportunities of achieving the best level of competence by

utilizing the time for conducting the researches and enhancing the qualification up to the level of

Post Ph. D. The university should also motivate and facilitate the faculty to achieve the

excellence in their subjects through certain opportunities of learning and upgrading the existing

knowledge/competence.

Standard 6.2

All faculty members must remain current in the discipline and sufficient time must be

provided for scholarly activities and professional development. Also, the effective

programs for faculty development must be in place.

• The faculty members attend the seminars, workshops and conferences to keep

them current in the discipline and browse the internet time to time for emerging

trends in the discipline. Moreover, the faculty members exchange their

professional views with their peers in order to avoid any misconception.

• All the courses in library and information science are practical-based and most of

the faculty members teach three different papers, hence they rarely find time for

writing their research papers. However, efforts are in pipeline to inculcate this

trend.

• The facilities for participating in seminars and conferences are available for the

faculty within the university and outside the university and the individual teacher

avails this opportunity time to time.

39

Standartd-6.3

All faculty members should be motivated and have job satisfaction to excel in their

profession.

The faculty of the department is motivated as they can win the facility of scholarship,

availing of tenure track status on the basis of their intellect and ability. The opportunity of

promotion is also available in the department provided they fulfill the criteria in this connection.

The university also provides financial assistance to the faculty for writing and attending the

research papers for the journals and conferences. All such opportunities and facilities are

effective for the motivation and job satisfaction for the faculty in any way.

40

Criterion-7

Institutional Facilities

41

CRITERION-7: INSTITUTIONAL FACILITIES

Standard 7.1

The institution must have the infrastructure to support new trends in learning such as

e-learning.

Infrastructure: The existing infrastructure of the department is established by the

Khushal Khan Khattak University, Karak in terms of space and other facilities. The existing

facilities needs to be upgraded specially in the field of E-learning because of speedily shifting of

library and information science discipline from conventional to E-learning approaches. To cope

with the situation, the above listed shortcomings should be removed by acquiring the requisite

equipments and resources.

Standard 7.2

The library must possess an up-to-date technical collection relevant to the program and

must be adequately staffed with professional personnel.

The collection of reading material in the departmental library is not worthwhile that may

fully support the academic activities in the department. The collection development in the

departmental library is somewhat slow which hinders some learning options both for the teachers

and the students. The departmental library houses about 1000 documents in the forms of books

and theses (both soft and hard form), whereas the central library houses a very small collection

of books on Library and Information Science. Both the central and departmental libraries do not

subscribe any journal relating to library science except those which are available on line through

digital library of HEC. The departmental library is manual-ridden system managed by the non-

professional staff. The hiring of professional staff is likely to be made shortly. The departmental

library needs to be computerized being a model library. The central library of the university

should acquire the demanded books through its acquisition process.

Standard 7.3

Class-rooms must be adequately equipped and offices must be adequate to enable

faculty to carry out their responsibilities.

Class-rooms and faculty offices: The class rooms and the faculty offices are adequate

to some extent to carry out the academic, administrative and other sorts of related activities. All

the faculty members don’t have their separate offices except the few. The class room facilities

are up to the mark in terms of proper furniture and multimedia. The multimedia facility is

available also in the class rooms for the purpose of some specialized lectures. The faculty

members feel a dire need of modern and smart computers in their offices which should be

provided to boast the academic and research activities.

42

Criterion-8

Institutional Support

43

CRITERION-8: INSTITUTIONAL SUPPORT

The institution’s support and the financial resources for the program must be sufficient to

provide an environment in which the program could achieve its objectives and retain the strength

required.

Standard 8.1:

There must be sufficient support and financial resources to attract and retain high

quality faculty and provide the means for them to maintain competence as teacher and

scholars.

The financial resources of the Department of Library and Information Science are

allocated in the annual budget of the Khushal Khan Khattak University Karak. The department

has qualified faculty mostly with PhD degrees and each of them striving their best to maintain

the competence by exchanging their professional views in professional gathering and attending

seminars and workshops. The meager financial resources for the department are not compatible

for the overall development of the department in terms of Lab expansion and the departmental

library. The available secretarial support and office equipment are adequate to some extent to

execute the daily functions of department.

Standard 8.2:

There must be an adequate number of high quality graduate students, research

assistants and Ph. D. students

As the Department is in embryonic stage and has been established in 2015. That is why; the

strength of the students in various programs is also minimal. The department currently offers

MLIS and BS-LIS programs and also launched MPhil program in fall semester 2017.

The curriculum for the above programs has been duly approved by the Board of studies

The department has not registered any Ph.D. student during the last one year as the existing

faculty is not in position to enroll such scholars due to non-availability of required Ph. D faculty

in the department, but the same is possible when the Ph. D. faculty would be available. The

following table shows the number of students in each program along with student teacher ratio

for the last three years.

Standard 8.3

Financial resources must be provided to acquire and maintain Library holdings,

laboratories and computing facilities

The meager resources for the Departmental library and the special LIS lab become the

hurdle in accessing some specific information for academic achievements of the students and

faculty, however reading material is acquired in the departmental library through acquisition of

the central library of Khushal Khan Khattak University on a very small scale. Similarly the

department lacks the resources and facilities in terms of establishing the laboratory for individual

subject practical. The computing facilities in the department are available to run the functions of

the department but that needs to be extended.
