REPRESENTATION BY THE PROFESSION TO HONOR LATE RANGANATHAN WITH HIGHEST WARD TO GOVERNEMNT OF INDIA--REQUEST
by Prof. N. Laxman Rao. 04 Sep '14

04 Sep '14

Dear friends REPRESENTATION BY THE PROFESSION TO HONOR LATE RANGANATHAN WITH HIGHEST WARD TO GOVERNEMNT OF INDIA--REQUEST We all celebrate SRR birth day as Librarians day every year. We all know his contribution to the subject in general and to Profession in particular. The status of our profession is due to his contribution only. His contribution is still alive and appreciated by every one around the World. He was given just PADMASHRI by Government of India. In few books it is written that he is contemporary to Srinivasa Ramanujan and contributions are also of same status. Many people were given better awards like PADMA BHUSHAN OR PADMA VIBHUSHAN in spite of their limited contribution to Society. Now the trend initiated by Congress Government to give awards to the political and other personalities with highest awards either during their life time or after death. Looking at the contribution of late SRR, we all librarians and teachers of LIS SHOULD REPRESENT to Central Government, We should write to Government of Tamilnadu to initiate such representation to Government of India. We all professionals should write postcards to both the Hon’ble Modi ji and Hon’ble Jayalalitha ji. The LIS Associations should also pursue the whole giving such award to SRR which is a prestige to all of us. I wish every one seriously thinks of my suggestion and make their efforts in getting the highes award to SRR for his contribution.

Re: [LIS-Forum] Inauguration of Tent Library @ Mysore Dasara 2014
by Dr Francis Jayakanth 03 Sep '14

03 Sep '14

Dear Sunil, Congratulations to the entire MyLISA team for initiating yet another unique service. The concept of 'Tent Library' for the benefit of the underprivileged is certainly a great idea and is in tune with the revolutionary cries of the first and the second laws of Library Science - 'Books are for use' and 'Books are for all'. Through its innovative programmes and initiatives, MyLISA is setting a trend to be replicated by all the other professional associations, in other parts of the country. With best wishes, - Francis Indian Institute of Management Bangalore, Bannerghatta Road, Bangalore - 560076 -----Original Message----- From: lis-forum-bounces(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in [mailto:lis-forum-bounces@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in] On Behalf Of Sunil MV Sent: Monday, September 1, 2014 3:42 PM To: lisforum Cc: MyLISA Mysore Subject: [LIS-Forum] Inauguration of Tent Library @ Mysore Dasara 2014 Dear Professional Friends, Greetings from MyLISA Mysore! Like to share the information about the inauguration of '*Tent library*’ today at Mysore Palace Premises (September 1, 2014) by Dr. V. Karikalan IFS, Deputy Conservator of Forest, Government of Karnataka. Sri H.R. Basappa, Deputy Director, Department of Public Institutions, Government of Karnataka; and Sri. Nagaraja S., President, MyLISA Mysore; were the special invitees. The programme was presided by Sri B. Manjunath, Deputy Director, Department of Public Libraries, City Central Library, Government of Karnataka. Dr. N.S. Harinarayana, Secretary, MyLISA Mysore, introduced the concept of Tent Library and presented the various sessions scheduled for 'Library Hour' of the Tent School Time Table. Dr. Mallinath Kumbar, Professor, DoS LIS, University of Mysore and Dr. Chandra Patil, Officer, Sarvar Shikshana Abhiyaan, graced the occasion. For photographs and press clips visit http://mylisamysore.weebly.com/ <http://mylisamysore.weebly.com/> *Background* “*Books for all*” is the dictum propounded by Dr. S.R. Ranganathan. He wanted library books for all socioeconomic groups, not just well-educated scholars interested in public domain items. It is the responsibility of the library profession to work towards achieving this goal. MyLISA has put forward its little foot in this direction by mooting the idea of a ‘Tent Library’. Mysore Dasara is the Nadahabba (Karnataka State - Festival). One of the central attractions of the ten-day festivities is the five kilometer Jumboo Savari – the procession by the main elephant accompanied by other elephants carrying the idol of Goddess Chamundeshwari, the sitting deity of Mysore. The preparation for the procession is done eight weeks before the actual procession. The elephants are brought from nearby forest and trained for the purpose. The trainers of elephants – the mahouts – come and stay at Mysore along with their families. Mysore district administration provides them all facilities to their families. Temporary school is started for their children at the premises where they reside inside the palace ground. One of the ardent librarians from Mysore observed that these children lack library facility during that period. He mooted an idea with MyLISA to think of library service to reach the unreached. Acting upon the idea, MyLISA was successful in convincing the district administration of Mysore to extend the library services through Department of Public Libraries, City Central Library, Mysore. As a result a ‘Tent Library’ was established in the premises of the palace where the mahouts reside. These library being a part of school, regular library hours will be included in the school time-table. Staffs from the City Central Library and MyLISA members visit the tent library and conduct the sessions to these students on reading skills, use of books, books handling, types of books, newspaper reading, and other study aided activities. Expertise of a few renowned school librarians are used in providing the service. A lot of book based activities have been planned. Drawing, picture books, clay modeling, bookmark preparation, painting, etc., were also the part of the session scheduled. The library will be on open access and children can use the books any time at their will. They can also take home the books on loan basis. With sincere regards, Dr. Sunil M.V.
