by Mohan Hr 23 May '21

23 May '21

With deep regret I note the demise of Mr MNS of Ex ICAST and IITM with whom I had very intimate association for several years through different forums regarding online databases, tech literature and building collections. My brother Mr HR Ramu of Ex UBS and Mahalaxmi Enterprises was also known to him very well. I pray HIS ALMIGHTY to shower HIS blessings on the departed soul to rest in peace. With deep regrets HR Mohan Former AVP Systems, The Hindu Message: 2 Date: Sun, 23 May 2021 11:49:49 +0530 From: Ishwar Goudar <goudarishwar(a)googlemail.com> To: lis-forum <lis-forum(a)ncsi.iisc.ernet.in> Cc: Francis Jayakanth <fjayakanth(a)gmail.com> Subject: [LIS-Forum] Sad demise of M N Seetharaman, Ex Head, ICAST, NAL Message-ID: <CANstONiy=O6mHnbbN60Zt_ByK0o6nZ8Ek=TFUqrZk9tcYc4w4A(a)mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Dear Professionals, I am very sorry to inform you all that Mr. M. N. Seetharaman (MNS), Ex. Head, Information Centre, NAL, Bangalore around 1.00 pm yesterday, 22nd May due to Covid 19. He was 94. He was admitted to Sakra Hospital, Marathhalli Ring Road 15 days back. He was very active and bold being in the hospital too. Infact he spoke to me 6 days back from hospital and kept on sending messages. In between his covid test was negative. But again got infected including secondary infection along with low BP. MNS worked with Both Dr Neelakantan foudar Director, NAL and Dr. Valluri very closely. He played very imporyamt role in setting up of 4'X4' wind tunnel most important milestone of NAL. He took information centre to the highest level and served as its Head, since the setting up Library in 1960s till 1987. He had set up NICDROM at NAL, under NISSAT. MNS was dreamer and was person who used to put staircase to sky. Once Dr. Valluri told openly and I quote "If I were to allow MNS he would have made NAL as subsidiary of ICAST". Among many firsts to his credit he experimented in collaboration with TIFR and introduced satellite based Online Information service through European Space Agency at NAL in 1980s itself. He built exhaustive collection of Technical Reports. Most of thec ISRO, DRDO, IISc, IIT and other Aerosoace related institutes were depending upon ICAST sources and services. Leave alone LIS, he would talk hours together on any topic under the sun and even beyond. He recruited and trained many colleagues at ICAST. After retirement from NAL, he served as Special Officer at Library of IIT, Chennai. He brought ocean changes there to such an extent that IIT Senate gave him a standing ovation. He hosted 39th ILA Conference at IIT. He boosted image of Librarianship at IIT. Infact I worked under his guidance and supervision at IIT. He only recommenced my name to Prof. Narasimha, then Director, NAL who offered me the post of Head, ICAST. Then onwards he guided me to provide quality and state-of-the-art information services. Till the last hour of getting admitted to hospital he was using Internet profusely and inform us about new developments. I lost a friend, philosopher, guide and above all a great human being.

Sad demise Veteran Library Scientist Sri M.N. Seetharaman
by Ashok Asundi 23 May '21

23 May '21

To All LIS Professionals, We feel highly painful to hear the sad demise of Sri M.N. Seetharaman, former Head NAL, Bangalore. One of the pioneering library and information scientist of our country at the formative years of the development of library and information systems in our country. I had earliest privilege of visiting the NAL Library in late 1965 as student of library science and on study tour since then I have been in contact with Mr. Seetharaman who was very courteous to and would welcome all young professionals with his fair guidance and help. After I moved to Bangalore my contact with him become closure and I would often visit NAL Library for help and guidance. Mr. Seetharaman's all achievements have been narrated by Dr. IRN Goudar in another post on this forum. But one incident I remember always is the Online Information Retrieval Service he had organised( as a Pilot Project) in 1984 as one of the participant. It was an uphill task and the most notable achievement of Mr. Seetharaman apart from his organisation and professional skills. The NAL got connected to Frescati, Rome via European Space Agency and that to at a time when the Telecommunication technology was in it infancy in India then. Myself and with my IIMB Colleagure Smt. Shailaja participated actively in the project and we could also search several databases online. It was one of the most fascinating experience to reminisce. Mr. Seetharaman was Life Member of KALA and would participate in its activities very enthusiastically and also would extend his cooperation in its professional pursuits. Even at the older age he was very active and would offer his valuable consultancies to the need. Very noble, soft spoken and above all very friendly with all. I have personally known his many achievements communicated through the NAL Newsletter to enlighten the professionals. On behalf of Governing Council, on behalf all members of KALA and on my personal behalf condole the passing away of Mr. M.N.Seetharaman, pray Al Mighty May his Soul Rest in Peace. Prof. A.Y.AsundiPresident, Karnataka State Library Association, On behalf of GC and All Members and LIS Fraternity.

Sad Demise of Mr. S.Thammaiah,
by Ashok Asundi 16 May '21

16 May '21

To All LIS Professionals, It is very sad to know that Mr. S.Thammaiah, former Director, Dept. of Public Libraries, Karnataka expired on Thursday, 13th May 2021 at his home in Nandini Layout. Though a very active professionals but in recent years he almost had lost contact with his fraternity. Mr. Thammaiah completed his B.Lib.Sc. from Karnatak University, Dharwad, in 1966. He was one of the earliest to serve the Department, as the Public Libraries Act came in being in 1966. He was one among the few from the Department who had a thorough knowledge of the Karnataka State Public Libraries Act, 1965. Mr. Thammaiah served the department in various capacities, from Technical Assistant to Director of the Department, and had also served as Chief Librarian (Now Dy Director) in Mangalore, Gulbarga and Bangalore Jayanagar City Central Library. His unique achievement in the Department was to undertake a computerised Stock Verification of 20 Lakh books the entire collection under the City Central Library Jayanagar and its Branches, then using the dBASE-IV DBMS progrmming. On behalf of Karnataka State Library Association, and on behalf of its members I offer my heartfelt condolences at the sad demise of Mr. Thammaiah. and to his bereaved family to bear the loss. Pray All mighty His Soul Rest in Peace. Prof. A.Y.AsundiPresident,Karnataka State Library Association.

Dear Friends, I am deeply saddened to hear the passing away of Mr. Dandapani, the former Librarian of the British Library, Bangalore. He was a dynamic, enterprising, and indeed a very popular librarian in Bangalore during his tenure as a Librarian. He had made the British Library almost like a "Talk of the Town". When I was working with the British Council Library, Mumbai in the 1980s, I used to meet him frequently and could notice his leadership qualities and remember his ever smiling face and caring attitude. With his demise, the LIS profession has lost one of the admired librarians. I pray God to give his family members enough strength and courage to bear this loss. May the noble soul rest in peace. Om Shanti.
