by Krishnamurthy Madaiah 12 May '21

12 May '21

Dear Professional Friends, l With deep regret sense of loss when I heard of Mr Dhandapani, former librarian , The British Library , Bangalore. Mr Dhandapani was served 35 years at British Library at various position. He was a English Teacher in Tamil Nadu after obtaining his BTE degree ( Bachelor of Teacher in English)later he moved to British Library. Mr Dhandapani is a committed and service focused Librarian. Great Human being, a model Librarian, in 1989-90 when I was working in the British Library was renovated and inaugurated by Prince Charles and Diana under his leadership. He was a great administrator, leader and founding member of the Association of British Scholars, Bangalore, where I was worked under his leadership as Secretary- Finance for the association. He had close associate with bureaucrats like Mr Mr Raghuram, former Home Secretary, Mr Bhattacharya, Former Chief Secretary, Mr Nijamuddin Former DGP, Govt of Karnataka and we use to go to drink coffee at Koshys restaurant. He was recognized with an MBE ( Member of British Empire,)for his outstanding & exemplary service to the community by the British Monarchy. I had long association with Dhandapani, who has been a hearted human being always helpful. I express my deep sense of condolences to his family. We sincerely convey our grief on the sad demise of the great person. We all wish the almighty god to rest his soul in peace. It's a huge loss to Library & Information Science Profession. Regards, M.Krishnamurthy ************************************************************** Dr. M.Krishnamurthy,M.A.,M.L.I.Sc.,Ph.D., Fulbright Scholar, University of Illinois, (U.S.A) Digitization Course, Illinois Digitization Institute, UIUC( U.S.A) Associate Professor Documentation Research and Training Center Indian Statistical Institute Mysore Road Bangalore 560059 India Phone No: 91-80-26985493 Mob:91-9980035933 URL:https://www.isibang.ac.in/~krish/ Google Scholar Profile:https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=s2l-E68AAAAJ&hl=en IRINS Profile: https://isi.irins.org/profile/113175 ORCID: http://orcid.org/0000-0002-8578-1533 Secretary Finance- Association of British Scholars General Secretary-Karnataka State Library Association -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

MILAN invited talk 'How to get it published in reputed publications' - Summary
by Sunil M.V 04 May '21

04 May '21

Dear Professionals, Greetings from MILAN Mysore and trust this email finds you well. Mysore University Information and Library Science Alumni Network (MILAN - http://www.milan-mysore.org/ ) organized an invited talk (Virtual Mode) on "How to get it published in reputed publications" by MILANer Dr. Manju Naika, Chief Library Officer, Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) on Saturday, May 1, 2021. *Sharing the summary of the talk for your kind information. * Dr. Manju Naika began his presentation with the role of Librarians in helping users and discussed India's current global position in terms of research publications. The speaker emphasised the need to assist users by offering training programs in best publishing practices, such as author seminars, centralized language editing, and familiarising new generations of users with current research resources and global research practices. Dr. Naika opined that it is the librarian's responsibility to create awareness about how to avoid plagiarism and publishing in predatory journals amongst their users. Sharing his experience, the speaker said the next emerging field in scholarly communication is scholarly content in multimedia format like video journals, video articles etc. Dr. Manju Naika emphasized the need to establish contact with users which is critical to librarians' success in the modern era. Data visualization, Data analytics services are in demand, and librarian's should use the opportunity to provide such assistance. The speaker opined that libraries are notorious for having diminishing budgets, but now, due to the real estate boom, there is a demand for library space from others, so unless librarians take the required measures, retaining library space would be the next obstacle. To contend with, Dr. Manju suggested that librarians should work proactively to increase library resource utilisation and user footfalls. After the presentation, a lively discussion took place with the participants, and the speaker answered all the questions raised by the users with suitable examples. Dr. Sunil MV, Executive Committee (EC) Member, MILAN, welcomed the gathering and introduced the speaker. Dr. Shalini R. Urs, President, MILAN, shared perspectives on the topic. Dr. Meera, B.M., Secretary, MILAN, presented the vote of thanks. The EC Members and MILANers were present. Regards, Dr. Sunil M.V.
