Dear all, I am happy to share with you all that 'Open Interview <https://www.openinterview.org/>' has brought yet another interview transcript. This time, it is of the celebrated LIS academic Prof. Shalini Urs. Dr. Sarika Sawant of SNDT Women's University has interviewed her. In this interview, Porf. Shalini has spoken on a wide range of professional issues concerning teaching and practicing librarianship. She shares her inspiring journey of teaching, handling global project works and institution building. She is of the strong view that the dynamically changing global trends in library and information science need to be seen through different lenses and also maintains that LIS is a meta discipline and hence we have to become meta by rising above the disciplinary borders. Her message to the budding LIS teachers and professionals is worth following. Please visit the following link for accessing the interview transcript.

Re: [LIS-Forum] L J Haravu passed away
by John Rose 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

Dear Colleagues, When I joined UNESCO in 1974 there was intense international debate about the advisability and feasibility of introducing ICT in information centres, particularly in developing countries. From the late seventies to the late eighties Shri L.J. Haravu, then at ICRISAT, made very important contributions to international cooperation on the application of ICT through an information science approach, notably by participating in several practical UNESCO activities like consultant missions and training. He helped me personally a lot in this context: always available, convivial, wise and competent. We then lost contact but a few years ago we met electronically for a stimulating discussion on the output of his new avocation as a general audience author. I like so many of you will miss him dearly, my deepest condolences to his family.
