[LIS-Forum] KALA-GB and FUTURE?

[I.R.N.Goudar]

             KARNATAKA STATE LIBRARY ASSOCIATION

Dear Professionals,

As already communicated earlier the General Body meeting along 
with elections of KALA will be held on 29th April 2008 (Tuesday) at 5.00 
pm in Granthangana, City Central Library, RPC Layout.  The details are 
attached below.

General Body notices have been sent to  all those members as per 
the addresses given in the list with KALA.  In case of non-receipt of
of the invitation please treat this LIS-FORUM message as the
invitation and please attend the meeting  without fail.

We need to revive and make KALA  more vibrant  both in terms of 
activities and membership.  A good number of youngsters are interested in 
joining the association and carry forward its objectives.  Although there 
are good number of professional associations, they scope is limited to 
academic or public library etc. We need to make KALA fully functional 
as an apex association at the state level.

The need of the hour is:
1. To elect a cohesive and active group to take over as
    the office bearers of the KALA.

2. We can think of having:
       - an experienced professional as the President
       - talented, enthusiastic and hard working professional
         as Secretary.
       - a treasure who will work in collaboration with Secretary,
         preferably working very close to Secretary's place

3. We should change the by-laws of the association to suit the
    present requirements.
4. We should take up the membership drive seriously
5. Apart from conducting monthly lectures we should organize some seminars,
    workshops, etc.

I openly admit that we could not do much especially in the later part of
our tenure due to many constraints.

For many years SRELS has been kind enough to give its premises for KALA
activities.  The KALA does not have its own address. We should discuss and
take appropriate steps in this direction.

I invite all member to attend the meeting and specifically 
request the young professionals to take over the regime from us. Those 
interested are requested to send their self-nomination to the election 
officer as detailed in the mail attached below.


With regards,

(Dr. I.R.N. Goudar)
President, KALA.
