M A Gopinath
by eswara reddy deva 12 Feb '13

12 Feb '13

I am extremely sorry to note the demise of Dr M.A.Gopinath who needs no introduction to Indian LIS professionals. Concurrent with the establishment of DRTC, Mr Gopinath joined Dr S. R. Ranganathan as his Research Assistant, graduated from DRTC in early 70s, served as a faculty and Head ,moved to North Carolina University as a visiting professor ,and back in Bangalore spent rest of his life. My association with Dr Gopinath dates back to 1966 when I joined DRTC as a student and later working with him closely as the Joint Secretary of Mysore Library Association (now Karnataka State Library Association). Dr Gopinath will be always remembered along with Dr SR Ranganthan as the co-author of "Prolegomena to library classification". May his soul rest in peace. Deva B.

He was a professional who truly believed that there was more than one way of seeing professional issues and that there is no place for dogmatism of any kind. He was a personal friend and I will miss him as I am sure many of his students and fellow professionals will miss him. May his family bear the loss with courage and fortitude.

---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2013 07:54:28 +0000 From: Syed Sajjad Ahmed <sjahmed(a)kfupm.edu.sa> I am shocked to hear the sad demise of one of the stalwarts of library profession. I know him since 1975, since I was doing my B.Lib.Sc. course at the Bangalore University. Later when I joined M.Lib.Sc course, then held at DRTC, Mallewaram. He was an extremely simple, dedicated, and thorough library educationist. He used to encourage all young and budding library professionals and always taught us to work hard with dedication. I whole heartedly pay my tributes to this departed soul with respect and grief. May his soul rest in peace.
