Closure of British Library
by Rajan 28 Jan '08

28 Jan '08

Dear All, If the British council is not happy to continue the British Library in Tiruvananthapuram, it is well within their right to stop it - as owners and managers. It cannot be considered a loss of cultural landmark of the city. We cannot insist that they should serve us in helping some job seekers or students or others in Tiruvanthapuram city to get a better living through their much valued librarary services. We consider the library as indispensable because of the weaknesses of other poorly run libraries in the city. State Central Library and Kerala University Library can - if they don't have - set up a book corner for competitive examination by spending a negligible portion of their annual budget. They can do most of the services the British Library was doing. Money was not at all a problem. If they wanted, special funds would have been obtainable for improvement of services. The real difference is that the British Library managed its services well and we managed our resources or services in an easy going manner and without much sincerity. Now we are misusing our court system to retain a library run in a good manner in a city where our public funded libraries failed miserably. It is the time to resolve that our libraries should run better services compensating the loss created by the closure of the British Library. Kindly correct me, if my perception is one sided, defective or anti-professional. Regards, K Rajasekharan Librarian, Kerala Institute of Local Administration(KILA) Mulagunnathukavu, Thrissur - 680581 , India ------------------------------ Original Message: Date: Thu, 24 Jan 2008 09:47:59 +0530 From: "amitbhu srivastava" <kumarmlis(a)gmail.com> Subject: [LIS-Forum] British Library Closure Opposed To: lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in The issue of British Library in Thiruvananthapuram has reached the Kerala High Court,with a petitioner pleading against the loss of the cultural landmark. The Library in Thiruvananthapuram had around 6500 members & a collection of around 28000 books used by a lare number of students to prepare for competative examination. Regards,.

Please take a look at this site. Who can imagine use of Facebook, College SAT data etc for this type of analysis! Innovative use of web based data.
