Congratulations!  Anand & Francis.
25 years of  long sustained journey of LIS-Forum is an amazing success.
The team and Francis in particular,  deserve a big applause for the
stupendous and voluntary task of running this Forum.
It is  the most popular medium today for LIS profession to exchange news
and views.
Long live LIS-Forum, and long-live the memory of Late Rajashekhar, the
brain behind this Forum.

May be, it is also time to reimagine and re-model this forum to a
full-blown social networking medium for the Group.
