Dear Professional Friends, I am happy to bring to your kind notice that Indian Academic Library Association (IALA) has published following books: 1. Model practices in Librarianship. Price Rs.550 2. Model ICT practices in Librarianship Price Rs.450 The content of these books are the product of best practices presented in the National seminar organized by IALA during the year 2006. Some of the very best practices chosen from the seminar volume are selected for including in these volumes. The Originality of the theme of the authors is retained in the practices published in these books and value addition work has been done by the editors in order to make these practices effectively practicable. The cover papers of both the bares are located in the IALA website under the following link: http://iala.org.in/subfiles/pub.html Following two distributors are appointed for supply of these books. For supply in Karnataka State: M/s. Education Supplies Importers & Book Distributors P.B.No.8204, Block A-02 Brigade MM Industrial Complex Yediyur, Bangalore Phone: 080-26769509 Fax: 080-26769954 e-mail: jai(a)bir.vsnl.net.in , educationalsupplies(a)airtelmail.in For supply in other states of India and abroad: M/s. Researchco Books and Periodicals Pvt.Ltd. # 4735/22, Prakash Deep Building 2nd Floor, Ansari Road, Darya Ganj – 110 002 Phone 91-11-23240257, 65150445 Fax: 91-11-23240273 e-mail: researchco(a)researchco.net I request all the Librarians to kindly purchase copies of the above books from the above distributors and help the IALA to strengthen economically. The IALA has decided to promote the Library Science professionals to write books and the publication responsibility will be taken care by the Association. The accounts of IALA are being audited by the chartered accountants once the auditing is over the balance sheet will be published through different forms and the same will be presented to the general body meeting which is delayed for different reasons. Through the activities of the Association are slow, we have never lagged behind in protecting the interest of the professionals in all platforms. The Life membership is not yet introduced. We desire to fasten the membership only when the association stands on its firm footing. Hence, we feel we should strengthen the Association, fight for the rights of the professionals, show the visible work and then ask for the life membership of the Association. It is very well known to all the professionals that, many of the Associations are being run out of the money colleted out of its life membership. IALA wants to grow with its own earnings from its publication work. Your full support in buying the IALA publications for your Libraries, we can strengthen the Association. I have got to report lots of things to the professionals, I request all of you to kindly subscribe to the IALA Discussion forum. Please visit the following URL for subscription: http://groups.google.co.in/group/IALA?hl=en&lnk=srg I hope the profession will help all of us to unite together and work together for a common goal of professional enrichment.
