25th Year to LIS-Forum...Thank you for making it a silver jubilee Forum!
by Vasanth 10 Jun '19

10 Jun '19

Dear Sir/Madam, Glad to know that LIS-Forum is celebrating its Quadranscentennial year. This forum has helped immensely for our professional understanding of contemporary developments in the field. LIS-Forum unlike other forums remained true its ethos all these years. I wish it will remain the same in the coming days. The efforts of late T.B. Rajashekar sir in starting this forum is always laudable and remembered and also the tireless efforts of Dr. Francis Jayakanth in running this forum with all difficulties is highly commendable. Whenever there are some issues in sending the messages to the forum members Dr. Francis jumped in immediately and solved them to make sure that forum members receive and send the messages regularly. Have come across at least three research papers on this forum published in different LIS journals and also as Prof. Shalini Urs madam mentioned an MLIS project has been done at the MyDLIS on LIS forum and its role in professional developments. Potential PhD aspirants can explore this forum as an interesting topic for their doctoral dissertations. Though text based discussion forums in a verge of disappear or transforming into web 2.0 platforms, have an advantage of keep them active in a very close-nit circle and run them efficiently without unwanted stuff (misinformation) for which many social media platforms are now familiar. Once again thanks to all the stakeholders involved in running this forum successfully for the last 25 years. Hope it completes many such milestones in days to come. Long live LIS-Forum… ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.LibrarianMysore

25th Year to LIS-Forum...Thank you for making it a silver jubilee Forum!
by Ananda Byrappa 07 Jun '19

07 Jun '19

Dear LIS friends, Greetings from IISc Library team!. It’s our pleasure to let you all know that, your lis-forum is into its Silver Jubilee Year. As many of you are aware, LIS-forum was conceived and implemented by Late Dr. TB Rajashekar and his team at NCSI, IISc in the year 1995 with financial support from NISSAT, DSIR, Govt. of India. Entire NCSI team had worked on this to ensure its success through creation of awareness and penetration of the forum among LIS-community across the nation. The roots went so deep and became stronger as a result today we see the Forum as one of the most popular, credible and reliable text based discussion forum for the LIS community in India and the forum has many subscribers from outside India too. Personally, I was fortunate to see the beginnings of LIS-Forum as I was a trainee at NCSI. The forum has played a key in my professional learning and growth - particularly to know accomplished professionals and their views on various topics. I always cherished reading emails from experts. I have read some experts emails multiple times...as they were informative and insightful... Thank you for being part of the forum, choosing it as your platform for communication. You, your association with the forum and your communications on the forum made it what it is today. Entire LIS-community has benefited from it. Looking forward to your continued support to retain the Forum as a preferred communication channel. Sustenance of LIS-forum for 25 years was not an easy task. Sad demise of Dr.TB Rajashekar and closure/merger of NCSI made it really difficult. However, Dr. Francis Jayakanth, JRD Tata Memorial Library, is the one who stood behind this and ensured that it worked for us flawlessly and made it always available for our LIS- community. He did this job even when he was on Lien for 2 years . Dr. Francis Upgraded the software recently and we are currently hosting it on a new server at the IISc. Library. Dr. Francis, we can’t thank you enough for your professional commitment and ownership to the forum....we owe you a lot....we wish you will have courage and commitment to extend support. In today’s social media driven world, text based discussion forums may look dry and dull. However, for serious, clean and clear communications text based forums are still preferred - world over. And LIS-forum is one of its kind. That doesn’t mean that we don’t look forward to upgrade it to next level - please share your thoughts briefly and will see if we all can work together on them..... Best Regards, Anand. Anand Byrappa Ph.D. Head- Office of Data and JRD Tata Memorial Library Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore 560012. INDIA.
