[LIS-Forum] LIS-FORUM: ITS ROLE

[I.R.N.Goudar]

Dear Professionals,

As you are aware LIS-FORUM has emerged as an effective means of 
communication and discussion among LIS Professionals in the country 
for the last few years. One of the Lis-Forum member has strongly expressed
his feelings that postings covering Regional/State level associations  
should not be broadcast on Lis-Forum. But if you see the postings all 
these years, forum has been covering items issued by be it MALIBNET, 
KALA, MYLISA, RSC-Delhi, IATLIS, SIS, etc or a message from an University. 
In this way forum is networking LIS Professionals and concerned 
professional associations all over the country, be it fron Kashmir, TN, 
West Bengal or Karnataka.

I am of the opinion that apart from discussing professional matters we 
should know what is going on in professional circles elsewhere too.   

While each Association can have its own discussion forum, important 
announcemnets should be covered by Lis-Forum irrespective of whether the  
LIS Association is State/Regional level one as long as the matter is of 
interest, as has been the case all these days. Rather we need bother 
about the quality, importance and relevance of the of the content in the 
postings. Infact Late Dr. T.B. Rajashekar had posted an item toucing some 
issues concerned in this matter a year back or so.

I INVITE LIS-FORUM MEMBERS TO GIVE THEIR OPINION IN THIS MATTER.
