Members who want to express their comments on the this topic main write to "vijaya kumara <vijayakumar71(a)yahoo.co.in>' directly. May be Mr. Vijaya Kumar can come out with his strategy, based on his experience and the inputs he has received from LIS-Forum, as to how should an institution go about in procuring large number of *useful* books in one shot. --------note ends here--------- Stimulating to the mail of our Library professional Mr. Abhilash, SKCET-coimbatore on 25,000 titles of Engineering. As per you, the function of LIS forum is to solve the problems which are or which will be faced by junior/ senior library professionals, but it should not be used as a stage for critiscising the problem(s)/ request of any library professionals. We should always use LIS forum to give moral support or practical solution to over come the problem(s), which yields to use of LIS forum once again for the benefit of library and library user Mr. Abhilash points out that, "One of our respectable member tried to lay a partition line between Private College librarians and Public Librarians". But I didn't find any particition which layed by one of the member, but I find amalgamation of vegetables and books, vegetable market and library only. I think Mr. Abhilash and other library professionals will accept my response in the right way Regards Vijayakumar M
