by vasanth raj 18 Mar '08

18 Mar '08

Dear Sir/Madam, The much awaited Right to Information Act has come into force in India.And already we have seen and heard that there is a great demand for information which are vital to its functioning and also to contain corruption and to hold Governments and their instrumentalities accountable to the governed.But Govt Authorities have totally neglected the library and Information Professionals, most of the people who have appointed as public Information Officer have came from Journalism and mass communication." Public Information Officer" job is best suited for LIS professionals where the skills of storage , organise and dissemination of Information is highly required.Already there are instances that Public Information Officers have failed to provide right information to the right people at a right time.This is because of lack of skills to organise and storage of Information.This is the right time to Library Association and Universities to pressurize Govt. appoint library and Information professionals as " Public Information Officer" and this will definitely helps people to have information quickly whenever they need.This will not only helps govt to function smoothly and huge opportunities for LIS professionals as well.

Remembering Prof Bhattacharya
by satya krishna savanur 30 Jun '06

Friends, I wish to echo what Dr Ganesh Bhattacharya had told us in one of his guest lectures at the Department of Library and Information Science, Karnataka University in the year 1972-73. He said, "What librarians need is one mile knowledge with one inch depth, and not one inch knowledge with one mile depth." How true! He has left great impact on all who came in contact with him.

Prof. G. Bhattacharya
by M. Paul Pandian 29 Jun '06

29 Jun '06

Dear Friends, I was deeply saddened to hear the loss of Prof. G. Bhattacharya. Prof. GB as he was fondly called by all was one of the greatest teachers in the LIS area. His teaching of Study of Subjects will make any one regardless of his/her basic subject background a qualified librarian to handle any subject areas. The study of subjects provides a template wherein any subject can be mapped and analysed for better understanding of a particular subject by a non subject specialist like the librarian. Although Prof. GB is no more with us, his teachings and commitments towards achieving excellence in whatever he did will be remembered forever. Our deepest condolences to the beraved family and friends. May his soul rest in peace. Dr.M.
