I am very much saddened to know passing away of Prof. K S Nagarajan, former head, Regional Centre, INSDOC, Bengaluru. He taught us the subject of Reprography during our INSDOC Training:1976-77. He was an excellent teacher. I met him few months back in a hospital where he came for consultation. We discussed lot of things reminisising INSDOC days. During my association with RRI, he visited the library for consultation on Carnatic Music compositions. We provided all available information for developing a database. We lost one of the finest library professionals. We pray the Almighty to give enough strength to the bereaved family to bear the loss. Let his soul rest in peace.

Plan-S and Global South
by Subbiah Arunachalam 20 May '19

20 May '19

Friends: Will the five publishers of the world - Elsevier, Springer-Nature, Clarivate, Pearson, McGraw-Hill and Cengage - who dominate the world's scholarly and academic publishing markets take control of all publishing activity in the near future to the great disadvantage of scientists, scholars and educational institutions? Widespread of adoption of Plan-S may lead to that, fear some experts. Please see: " Plan S: What strategy now for the Global South?" by Richard Poynder,15th February 2019. https://richardpoynder.co.uk/Plan_S.pdf "The Publishers' Move to Capture Campus Data" by Doug Lederman, 29th April 2019. https://www.insidehighered.com/digital-learning/article/2019/04/29/report-g… Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

In 1967 when the Reprography technique was in nascent stage in India, Mr. Nagarajan made a detailed study of the technique, the use of various tools and instruments and published a technical paper on the ‘State of Reprography in India’ in 1967 in the Annals of Library Science. He was a recipient of the UNESCO fellowship during 1954-55 to visit USA & Europe to study the reprographic techniques then prevalent in the advanced countries. He taught Reprography course to the students of ADR at INSDOC Headquarters at New Delhi.

He published a number of articles on Reprography in different learned L & IS journals. He was the first Vice-President of Karnataka Library Association started after the Mysore Library Association became defunct. Apart from his contributions to the field of L& IS (especially Reprography) he was a well known Musicologist.
