I am very much saddened to know passing away of Prof. K S Nagarajan, former head, Regional Centre, INSDOC, Bengaluru. He taught us the subject of Reprography during our INSDOC Training:1976-77. He was an excellent teacher. I met him few months back in a hospital where he came for consultation. We discussed lot of things reminisising INSDOC days. During my association with RRI, he visited the library for consultation on Carnatic Music compositions. We provided all available information for developing a database. We lost one of the finest library professionals. We pray the Almighty to give enough strength to the bereaved family to bear the loss. Let his soul rest in peace.

Plan-S and Global South
by Subbiah Arunachalam 20 May '19

20 May '19

Friends: Will the five publishers of the world - Elsevier, Springer-Nature, Clarivate, Pearson, McGraw-Hill and Cengage - who dominate the world's scholarly and academic publishing markets take control of all publishing activity in the near future to the great disadvantage of scientists, scholars and educational institutions? Widespread of adoption of Plan-S may lead to that, fear some experts. Please see: " Plan S: What strategy now for the Global South?" by Richard Poynder,15th February 2019. https://richardpoynder.co.uk/Plan_S.pdf "The Publishers' Move to Capture Campus Data" by Doug Lederman, 29th April 2019. https://www.insidehighered.com/digital-learning/article/2019/04/29/report-g… Arun http://orcid.org/0000-0002-4398-4658 http://www.researcherid.com/rid/B-9925-2009

As reported earlier, we deeply regret to inform the sad demise of Mr. K. S Nagarajan a retired senior information Professional of INSDOC (an organ of CSIR) presently known as NISCAIR, on 12th May at Bangalore at the age of 91. Mr. Nagarajan started his career at National Aeronautical Laboratory, Bangalore and later shifted to INSDOC an organ of CSIR. He was Officer- in- Charge of the Bangalore Centre of INSDOC from 1964 and retired as the Head, Regional Office, INSDOC in 1987. In 1967 when the Reprography technique was in nascent stage in India, Mr. Nagarajan made a detailed study of the technique, the use of various tools and instruments and published a technical paper on the ‘State of Reprography in India’ in 1967 in the Annals of Library Science. He was a recipient of the UNESCO fellowship during 1954-55 to visit USA & Europe to study the reprographic techniques then prevalent in the advanced countries. He taught Reprography course to the students of ADR at INSDOC Headquarters at New Delhi. He played an important role in bringing out various Union Catalogues of Scientific periodicals brought out by INSDOC. He published a number of articles on Reprography in different learned L & IS journals. He was the first Vice-President of Karnataka Library Association started after the Mysore Library Association became defunct. Apart from his contributions to the field of L& IS (especially Reprography) he was a well known Musicologist. After his retirement, he set up a multi-indexed and computerised database of Carnatic Music Compositions, lyricists and composers which was highly acclaimed. He was recognized for his phenomenal work of compilation and indexing by Gayana Samaja by bestowing the Artist of the year award in 2003 and a Life Time Achievement Award from Kensri School, Bangalore in 2011. He was invited by the prestigious Music Academy of Madras to deliver a lecture cum demonstration on his work in the December season in 1999. He has also delivered lectures on his seminal work in the US and other places whenever he used to visit those places. Mr. Nagarajan received a Senior Fellowship from the Department of Culture, Government of India and a grant from India Foundation for the Arts for setting up the multi-indexed computerized database of music composition consisting of more than 21,000 compositions, 1080 entries on lyricists and tunesmiths and more than 1800 entries on books and manuscripts. “The Hindu” newspaper had a befitting coverage on Mr.Nagarajan in the year 2000 for his indepth information and knowledge on Carnatic music. ( https://www.thehindu.com/2000/02/07/stories/09070704.htm) He was associated with ‘Ananya’ , a non-profit cultural organization promoting cultural art forms of India in Bangalore and contributed regularly to their magazine on different artists and their performances.
