Tribute to Late M N Seetharaman
by D.V. Patwardhan 27 May '21

27 May '21

Please publish following text in LIS-Forum---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I felt sorry to read the demise of Shri M.N.Seettharaman. I worked under him at NAL Library during 1975-76 and also came in to contact with on several occasions - during ILA conference at IIT, Madras, his lecture at KALA, etc. Initially he was working in "Information & Coordination" dept of NAL. When the position of Librarian at NAL fell vacant in early 1970s, he volunteered to undergo training at INSDOC, New Delhi, and became Office-In-Charge (ICA-NAL). He was also lucky to get training in Library automation at Luxemberg. Library profession is greatly benifitted by his entry. He was a dynamic and knowledge oriented personality. With his skills in collection development, resource sharing and interaction with fellow librarians NAL became centre of professional activities. After his retirement from NAL I learnt that he became consultant to Govt. of Afghanistan for a short period and then joined IIT, Madras as Librarian. ILA annual conference was organised at IIT, Madras in 1991, during his tenure which I attended.It was a well organised event. I am greatly influenced and befitted by his dynamic personality. I owe to him for many achievements done in Library & Inf.Sc profession. May his soul attain Moksha. D.Vasudeva PatwardhanRtd.Sr.Librarian

Sri M N Seetharaman : The Legend
by Poornima Narayana 26 May '21

26 May '21

The shocking demise of Sri. M N Seetharaman, popular as MNS, has left the LIS community devoid of a dynamic n great visionary.. MNS , a personality with many accomplishments n credits to the L&IS profession built an Art of the Center Information Center @ NAL of International repute starting with 3 almirahs of documents to the 2nd biggest n exhaustive Library in the country, perhaps next only to IISc... A great visionary, he implemented IT applications in day to day service functions way back in 70s..ESA Online retrieval databases , Italy; DIALOG databases, USA, etc.. He initiated SDI based profile construction services, a highly popular one with the NAL scientists...Thanks to his rapport and camaraderie with the Management Council at NAL, he could achieve to take it to great heights @ the center... He was a voracious reader n kept himself updated in all spheres of knowledge...He was a spontaneous extempore person on any given topic at any time.. Besides his professional reputation, on the personal front he was a very lively n joyful person by nature, very active always on his toes..Seldom he used to get angry although he was a hard taskmaster.. A very pious n religious person with proficiency in Sanskrit ( he was editing articles in a Sanskrit journal), he kept himself engaged till the last day .. One can write an encyclopedia depicting all his achievements n accomplishments..Such was the personality n LEGEND Sir MNS was... I being a beneficiary of his guidance, inspiration, motivation n above all his greatness being a human offer my NAMANA n PRANAM to him... May your Aatman attain shanthi n Sadagati.. Om Shanthi 🙏🙏 Dr. Poornima Narayana , Fulbright Scholar Ex Head, Information Center (ICAST) CSIR NAL Bangalore -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

The volume will give stress on various aspects of cultural heritage information such as digitization tools and technologies, policy issues, standards and guidelines, metadata and indexing, access and management, issues and challenges, usability and sustainability, architectural designs, semantic and ontological frameworks and the best practices and case studies pertaining to CHIS. The journal Informatics Studies is in its eighth year of publication and select issues are accessible at: informaticsstudies.org. We invite papers for publication in the special volume on the Cultural Heritage Information System (CHIS) first issue (8 (4) October - December 2021).
