# Introduction he development of digital library has insightful effect not only on the client but also on professionals and also on the human resource management of the library. The digital library brings about changes in the activities of the library in terms of users, in job and in staffing as well. It is widely accepted that human factors is one of the key component of the digital libraries but relatively a little attention has been paid to the human and organizational factors in the library that directly contributed to the fruitfulness of the digital library. There are also many other issues, which effects its development of library globally. Gender issue gains prominence after poverty and violence, particularly in developing countries. In the age of 21 st century both kind of genders are equally contributing to the overall development. In the library field both of them are managing the information and resources of knowledge with the objector to some serve clients effectively. It is often found there is a big problem of variation in the percentages of existences of job in developing countries. The ratio of digital library in the developing countries, particularly in India is quite low in almost every profession. Lack of job opportunity for library professionals is a big hindrance for the economical and social development of India. In the digital era, the job satisfaction is one of the vital issues which are responsible for the poor employability of library professionals. Statistically, discrimination within the job and different job related factors like; pay promotion, working condition, social status security, recognition etc are major determinant, which decides satisfaction as a whole. In case of their job satisfaction, it is important because the result of the relationship between psychological factors and work outcome of individuals are the most significant aspects of the human life. Job satisfaction is a complex phenomenon that can be variably interpreted. It is the absence of pain, oppressiveness and intolerance and also indeed enjoyment of work. Job satisfaction is one of the most enduring elusive constructs used in the study of industrial relations. Job satisfaction studies are based on emotional response of employees which is related with some socio cultural, organizational and personal factors variables like pay promotion, supervision, benefits, contingent rewards, operating procedures, coworkers, nature of work, working condition, social status etc., II. # Literature Review The literature review is not comprehensive, but is rather limited to the areas concerning the job satisfaction of library employees, and the job satisfaction of other types of employees in various organizational settings. I will examine specific important factors affecting job satisfaction in the literature, from which I will complete my research hypothesis. Job satisfaction is an important area to determine the view of the employee towards their job. Patillo Morgan and Morgan (2009), "Librarians of the colleges and other educational institutions should be provided training about the advanced information technology". Libraries are often challenged to offer the kinds of work environments that these new professionals prefer". Kaur (2006) said that there is a need for contented and "well satisfied librarians to make libraries more service oriented to their clientele and the main organizational determinants influencing worker's job satisfaction". And establish sensible organizational structures, delegating authority, promoting teamwork practice, developing job descriptions and evaluation systems, "allowing employees' freedom of choice to perform job duties, providing employees with training opportunities and motivations" (Sheikha & Younis, 2006)."Frustrations and age, mental status and years of experience have an impact on occupational role stress". Srivastava & Srivastava, (2004) said that satisfaction about nature of job can be increased through job environment, training on IT and good monetary gains. Unless librarians secure peer status through adherence to core academic standards, the emerging era of electronic information will see domination in the librarians influence over librarians' affairs. Burd (2003) found that librarians in organizations that support participatory management, open communication, opportunities for achievement and relationships built on honesty and trust are more satisfied and committed and less likely to leave. Sornam and Sudha (2003) said that library profession is a people oriented profession which cannot escape from the clutches of conflicts. After training librarians should be offered an opportunity to practice what they have learned. Academicians treat librarians in good esteem for their valuable services to them (Satija, et. al., 2003). Bii and Wanyama (2001) examined the impact of automation on the job satisfaction among library staff of Margaret Thatcher Library, MoiUniversity. Joyce K. Thornton (2000) said it best when she wrote: "Job satisfaction is critical to the retention and recruitment of librarians." It is hard to pinpoint when the subject of job satisfaction in libraries began to appear in the literature; however after an analysis, it is found that while the literature is considerable in its range and quantity, it is not comprehensive nor of primary concern to library scholars. # III. # Objectives of the Study The overall objective of the study is to analyse the satisfaction levels of the librarians in the institutions of higher learning in Coimbatore with this as the main objective, the following objectives are framed for the purpose of analysis and interpretation.
