Sad demise of our beloved teacher
by Krishna Kittur 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Dear Professionals, Prof Gopinath's departing is not only a big loss to Library professionals but also to other professionals and great personalities like Sri Kanthi, Prof AC Devegouda with whom he was involved in library development. His activities were very vast and his admirers were huge. He never said NO to anyone and he helped everyone. When we visited DRTC as a part of our study tour (LIS) from Karnataka University, Dharwad in 1973 his lecture to us (LIS students) was so inspiring which made me to join DRTC later. My association with him was started in 1974 when I joined St John's Med College, Bangalore. I was regular in attending DRTC Colloquia, Annual Seminars, Refresher courses, Endowment lectures and other invited lectures. His involvement was so deep in all these without his presence no action was perfect. My interaction with him increased when I joined DRTC course in 1979. DRTC was temporarily located on Church Street and the hostel was still in Malleswaram. He was so concerned of every student and used to visit us in the mornings, evenings and sometimes around 11pm and on holidays, he was testing the food quality, checking the proper procument of ration. After attending his classes we used to request him for additional classes not only Classification Theory but also any subject. He was a master in every facet of library and iinformation science. He never tired of explaining. We enjoyed his narration of his experience and fond memores with Prof. Ranganathan. His immense help was always there for students in their Colloquia, assignments, exam, projects. He was a *GREAT TEACHER and BELOVED TEACHER.* He had a phtographic memory, he could tell any incident so precisely with full details and remember the names so well. He was like a *STAR* for library professionals not only in Bangalore but any part of the country later in the world. He never referred any books or notes for his lectures. I do not know how many noticed this - he was carrying a notebook to every lectures and making notes, he never tired of this note making practice. Whenever we went to his house in Malleswaram found him playing with his daughter and son like a child, he could reach any level. He was a great human being and live in our hearts forever. My sincere condolence to the bereaved family. May his soul rest in peace. ======================== Krishna Kittur Bangalore Information & Documentation Officer (Retd) SV Natnl Instt of Rehabilitation Ministry of Social Justice, Govt of India +919449010207, +918022580106 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

PROF GOPINATH
by Jayarajan 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

I am deeply saddened to hear this morning from ARD Prasad that Prof Gopinath is no more. I had known Gopi since 1969, when I joined Ranganathan as his Research Assistant. In fact, when Gopi moved to DRTC as a faculty member in 1969, I took over from him as Ranganathan's Research Assistant. It was Gopi who initiated me to Ranganathan's style of working and who helped me a lot in my initial days. We were good friends and I fondly remember Gopi and Prof Seetharama, visiting us in Jamshedpur, when I was with XLRI, and spending two days with us. My sincere condolences to the bereaved family P.

Sad News-Demise of Prof MA Gopinath
by Ishwar Goudar 11 Feb '13

11 Feb '13

Dear Professionals, The demise of Prof. M.A. Gopinath has created big vacuum for the LIS profession and also LIS Teaching community in the country. His publications especially the edited DRTC annual seminar volumes have formed part of LIS syllabus. He started wing with with Dr.SRR at the age of 16. He has helped number of students not just in LIS academic and research activities, but even as a personal friend of many. I owe him for completing my DRTC Course, else I would have discontinued it due to some reason. He was simple and lovable person, but very serious in his work. He tried his level best to bring out 7th edition of Colon Classification. Classification research was almost synonymous with his name. He would talk on any subject on the earth hours together. We never forget his face becoming red some time due to some disorder in DRTC, especially our hostel mess in Malleshwaram. I We miss him very much. May his soul rest in peace. I suggest the DRTC alumni to take some step in organising some program in his memory annually. Regards, -- Dr. I.R.N.
