The aim is to provide open access to the code on which the platform is based, which would further allow faster analysis of the data. Analysis of such data has been helping gas companies identify plant problems, avoid shut-downs and also to come up with new ways to extract more oil and gas at lower costs.

ReBlook: The Lectures on PunerMILAN of Ranganathan
by Sunil MV 07 Sep '16

07 Sep '16

Dear LIS Friends, Greetings from MILAN ! On the occasion of quasquicentennial Birthday Celebration of S.R. Ranganathan, the Mysore University Information and Library Science Alumni Network (MILAN) starts a new series of lectures on the works of SRR which have had formidable influence on the growth of library science as an academic field. Born in 1892, Ranganathan, the mathematician-turned-librarian, put India prominently on the world map of library science. But for his contribution, the library profession would not have flourished in India in the foregone century. As students of library science, it is high time to have a re-look in relation to the modern age. There is a growing tendency to dismiss the seminal works of Ranganathan as being obsolete. There is also a large chunk of professional who believe that Ranganathan is more relevant today than ever before. It is the right time to examine his works in this digitally confused era with an intention of drawing new inspiration to move forward. Acting on the need-of-the-hour, MILAN contemplates to run a series of lectures under the title "ReBlook: The Lectures on PunerMILAN of Ranganathan". ReBlook contains the three main elements found in five laws – Reader (R), Book (B) and L (Library). Blook is a new genre of book which emanates from blogs – thus symbolically representing the new generation resource and also the symbiosis between the printed and digital resources. The word Reblook intrinsically contain the concept re-look and thus representing the purpose of the lecture series. The word PunerMILAN is deliberately spelled the way it has been shown to represent the re-meeting of the modern world with Ranganathan and also to represent the alumni association MILAN. The ReBlook series would be launched on 17th September 2016. It is intended that the lectures would be arranged at different places of the country with the help of MILANers and also some local collaborating agencies at various places. It is hoped that this effort of MILAN will re-sensitize the call for serious research into Ranganathan’s contributions. Requesting your suggestions, views and collaboration in this initiative. Regards, Dr. Sunil M.V. Secretary, MILAN and Librarian Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Institute for Management Development (SDMIMD) No. 1, Chamundi Hill Main Road, Siddharthanagar Post, Mysore - 570 011, INDIA Mobile: 99864 39832 | Telephone: 0821-2429722 Extn: 3006 * Please consider your environmental responsibility before printing this e-mail* -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

I may recall that When Sri A C Deve Gowda was the president of Mysore Library Association (now KSLA) in early 1970s (Sri Vikunta Baliga was the speaker of Mysore Legislative Assembly ) there was a move to celebrate the National Library Week coinciding with the birthday of Ranganathan. Ranganathan was very much alive that time. However, the Calcutta group more importantly (it was rumored) the then heads of National Library and INSDOC succeeded in deciding November 2nd week as National Library week. The Hyderabad based Academy of Library Science and Documentation (ALSD) started Librarians Day celebration in late 1970s and others followed the suit till today. Professor Neelameghan was very much aware of it.

The archived copy of that message can be accessed at http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/pipermail/lis-forum/2016-August/020020.html As reported in my communication, many of us who have registered with LIS-Forum with personal IDs, were having issues in receiving mails from LIS-Forum. Since about a week or so, I have stated receiving lis-forum mails on my personal Gmail ID. I have cross-checked with few other members, and they, too, have confirmed that they are now receiving lis-forums on the their personal IDs. I am forwarding an important posting dated 11 August 2016 by Dr. K.S. Raghavan clarifying Dr. Ranganathan's birthday. This post was circulated on lis-forum on the 11th August, but during that period, there were some issues in the relaying of lis-forum mails to personal IDs, it is, therefore, being circulated again.

Raghavan <ksragav at hotmail.com> In the last few days I have seen quite a few postings on LIS Forum and other channels on the subject of Dr. Ranganathan's birthday. Dr. Ranganathan's actual date of birth is 9th August; In the official records his date of birth is shown as 12th August. At the Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science the practice was to observe the birthday on any day between 9th and 12th August. However, 12th August has been officially declared as Librarians' day. Prof. Neelameghan had once told me that Dr. Ranganathan did not approve of any function / celebrations even on his birthday. But mortals that we are, we need something to ring the bell and wake us up from slumber and I believe that the celebrations are purely for that purpose. Let us remember that library / information service is a support service so that some one who is our customer is able to carry out his task in a more effective and efficient manner. Let us not forget what Dr. Ranganathan preached and practised. It certainly should not be that we celebrate his birthday and forget his ideals the next day ! Let us put an end to this debate and focus on what needs to be done. Wishing all LIS Professionals a happy Librarians' Day. Regards K. S.

The archived copy of that message can be accessed at http://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/pipermail/lis-forum/2016-August/020020.html As reported in my communication, many of us who have registered with LIS-Forum with personal IDs, were having issues in receiving mails from LIS-Forum. Since about a week or so, I have stated receiving lis-forum mails on my personal Gmail ID. I have cross-checked with few other members, and they, too, have confirmed that they are now receiving lis-forums on the their personal IDs. I am forwarding an important posting dated 11 August 2016 by Dr. K.S. Raghavan clarifying Dr. Ranganathan's birthday. This post was circulated on lis-forum on the 11th August, but during that period, there were some issues in the relaying of lis-forum mails to personal IDs, it is, therefore, being circulated again.

At the Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science the practice was to observe the birthday on any day between 9th and 12th August.
