by Aloor Thomas Francis 17 Mar '08

17 Mar '08

Dear Professionals, It is a great proud and pleasure for the Indian Library and Information Professionals that VSPL and KIIKM could develop a very good ILMS and made it free for all libraries. The leadership taken by Dr. Haravu and his team is painstaking and remarkable. Several LIS professionals have already appreciated these efforts. I think the comments made in the CALIBER 08 will not only affect the progress of the software but also give extra enthusiasm for the developers and users as well. A.T.
