[LIS-Forum] NewGenLib as open source

[Dr. R.K. Kamat]

Dr. P.V. Konnur (Librarian, Bangalore University) will be the happiest
person with this announcement. I remember that Goa University Library was
used as test bed for testing few modules of New Gen Lib when Dr. Konnur
was working as Librarian there.
