Date: 15 Oct 2003 11:38:01 -0000 From: Dr. S M.SHAFI <shafi_sm(a)rediffmail.com> Dear colleagues , This has reference to the discussion initiated by Mr Prafulla regarding the situation and sevices provided by our universities . I endorse the view that we in India have not been able to have one window system to reply our patrons and it is high time that professionals should join together to develop a reference and information service on the type suggested by Mr prafulla " ASK YOUR LIBRARIAN" besides re-engineering other services so that we may facel humilating situation and lag behind. tahnks and regards S M SHAFI

------- Forwarded message follows ------- Date sent: 14 Oct 2003 14:22:55 -0000 From: "aprajita suman" <aprajita_drtc(a)rediffmail.com> Send reply to: "aprajita suman" <aprajita_drtc(a)rediffmail.com> To: prafulla(a)nisc.co.in Subject: Definition of Research Libray( a/c to ALA) Respected Shri Vijayakumar, I am sorry to send the required information a little late. Actually I saw the mail today only. According to ALA Glossary the definition of Research Library is: 1. A library which contains an in-depth collection in a particular subject field(such as a technical library) or in-depth collections in several subject fields(such as a university library or a large private or public library). The collections include pr imary sources and provide extensive chronological and geographical coverage. 2. A reference library.
