Sad Demise of Sri. D.N. Nagaraja Rao
by Vasanth 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

Dear Sir/Madam, It was sad that Sri. D.N. Nagaraja Rao is no more. I did hear this sad news while attending the two day national conference on "Social Media and Libraries" held at the SBRR Mahajana College, Mysore. He was so passionate about library profession. He used to attend all the conferences and seminars held in and around Mysore. He was regular attendee of all the programs that MyLISA was part of. Often in the intervals at scholarly meetings he used to share his views and express his childlike inquisitiveness like "Super" if he come across good works. He used to ask young professionals about new technological developments and their applications in libraries. He was serving Ramakrishana Mission library after his retirement to just to serve the society and keep himself active in the profession. I was fortunate that I had some occasions to meet him and talk with him. May his soul rest in peace. ------------------------- With best wishes Vasantha Raju N.Mysore -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

I am very happy to see the Interview excerpts of Dr. Goudar who has a feather in his cap with the rejuvenating the UML and I am sure he would repeat his performance again. I have enjoyed reading the entire Newsletter in one go and would be eager to see its next edition. I regret to have missed T and F meet on 21st Nov. as I had prior commitment at Karnatak Univeristy, Academic Staff College, Dharwad.

It's your belief and collaboration with us that keeps IGNITE<http://tandf.msgfocus.com/c/14qaeqNNcFXvJQRUQnUDnpGwjx> alive and successful. This quarterly bulletin aims to bring you news on Journals and Online Resources from Taylor & Francis and around the world. http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/explore/ignite-issue4-oct-dec-2014.pdf 2014 has been a year dominated by many new developments for the publishing industry in India. While universities across the country have been grappling with the concept of open access and the feasibility of turning a traditional model on its head while still remaining lucrative, publishers have enabled smaller, bite-sized content for use outside the context of articles and journals, leveraging supporting data, graphs, tables and charts to their advantage as separate entities in their own right. The mobile and smartphone technology became a rage providing knowledge on the move at universities, libraries and institutions. The most significant publishing trend has been the widespread acceptance of reading devices, which has further accelerated the growth of e-Books. In this issue, we bring to you a chit-chat with Dr. Ishwar Goudar, the man responsible for turning around the Mysore University Library into a library of the future with one of the highest usage statistical growths ever recorded. There is news on new acquisitions and research from across the globe and viewpoints on social media and poetry shared with us by library professionals. There are wins, congratulations and celebrations. Since we are hosting our annual roadshow in Bangalore in November, we have picked 11 cafes in Bangalore for librarians to visit and explore. Find out who is the winner of our Librarians' Day special slogan writing competition and what the fantastic work the MyLISA group is doing with children of mahouts. This issue also showcases some straightforward lessons on leadership from our Taylor & Francis MD, Nitasha Devasar as she reminisces about the unexpected twists in the journey of learning for all. Enjoy IGNITE with a cup of steaming hot coffee and we will wait for you to tell us what you think! Best wishes, Happy reading!

Sad demise of Sri. D.N Nagararja Rao
by jharavu 09 Dec '14

09 Dec '14

I am quite saddened to report the demise od Sri. D.N. Nagaraja Rao, former Librarian of NIE Mysore. After his retirement at NIE, he offered his services to the institutions of The Ramakrishna Mission in Mysore. He took an active part in building their libraries and in teaching new students. He was a most humble person, always looking for inspiration from his peers and seniors. He was always present in library meetings with the enthusisam which marked him out as a true professional, always willing to learn and share what he knew. He was truly an unsung hero of the profession. He passed away on 5th Dec peacefully at Mysore after a brief period of hospitalization. I am sure all people who knew him will join me in offering our heartfelt condolences to his family.
