Discovery of a Genius True Librarian
by Vinod Kumar Mishra 23 Apr '14

23 Apr '14

Dear All, First time in my professional career i have discovered/Met a Genius Library professional who is not having a single degree of Library science but having much talent and knowledge in comparison to many big degree holders including myself who posts some useless topics in forums. Please note my intention is not to criticize any one but only to promote such professionals so that others could learn something from them. He ( https://www.facebook.com/wisdombooks ) has registered for our workshop and send me friend request on facebook, i was thinking that the person is having a high qualifications in LIS because of his age (above 60) and the devotion for LIS. During our discussions on facebook he invited for Excel data conversion for Koha at his institute (Bhaktivedanta Research Centre, Kolkatta) but on volunteer basis. My self and My colleague Mr. D.P. Tripathi agreed and he send his complex data in excel format because we never seen such standard data maintained in excel. The job of conversion was very challenging but we did successfully and went kolkata at midnight 11:30 PM, he picked us and we went to his Small library which was maintained perfectly and neatly almost independently. We were surprised to see all modern equipments as well as latest and old collection of manuscripts, examples of technical preservation of original papers to digital preservation methods, use of technology for w! orking comfortably with accuracy and speed etc. After visit of library we sat and asked for his degree and socked to here that he had taken admission in IGNOU but could not complete B.lib/M.lib due to some personal reasons. Then we started some technical discussions about the library technologies and simultaneously i was thinking that he may not be aware about those but surprised when he discussed and replied about all those technologies and tools. We found almost all tools and technology in such a small library including high end scanner (Bookeye4). Due to some complexity in data migrations it took much time and we had to catch our Flight also at 3:00 AM early morning for Assam Univ. Silchar, we were very tired but not seen a single sign of tiredness on his face and sleepy even up to 3 o'clock but ultimately we success in data migration and system setup of koha. Dear friends the above person has taken Indian citizenship but he is Italian and working with such a devotion and duty in the age of 60 is really surprising therefore i request all LIS professionals to meet with such professionals whenever you have time and spare some time with him to learn the real ethics of Librarianship. Now i can assume what was the devotion of Dr. Ranganathan and others during those days because "Angelo Pugliese" has also made his own temporary scheme for classifying documents and taken many Latest technological initiatives for the Library. Thanking You. With regards, Vinod Kumar Mishra, Assistant Librarian, (Library In-Charge) Biju Patnaik Central Library, NIT Rourkela, Mob:91+9439420860 91+6612462103 (O) email: vinod_librarian(a)rediffmail.com : mishravk79(a)gmail.com -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
