Including the Name and City of the Library in the Posts
by Susmita Chakraborty 09 Oct '07

09 Oct '07

Dear Moderator, Sometimes, we find a name and an unknown/impersonal/non-organisational email_id of the sender with a post. It makes the post very impersonal - as in newspapers- not like an e-community formed for caring and sharing. While someone is sending some info for LIS-FORUM readers, can they please include very brief organisational details under their names just to give us a feel of bonding between LIS professionals? Name of the organisation and city/state may also help in regional groupings/activities. Best regards.
