12 August 2008 A Unique Librarian’s Day Celebrations at MYDLIS, Mysore The Department of Library and Information Science, Manasagangotri had more than two reasons to rejoice on 12 August 2008, which is celebrated wide across the country as the Librarian’s Day to honour (Late) Dr S R Ranganathan, the father of Indian Library Science. Firstly, the morning celebrations began with an invigorating PowerPoint and Web-based lecture by Dr M Krishnamurthy, University Librarian on the works and history of (Late) Dr S R Ranganathan. The lecture was interspersed with interesting pictures on the works of Dr SRR. A very captivating video documentary on Dr SRR kept the audience spell-bound. Interestingly, MYDLIS had more than one reason to celebrate!!! What could be a more befitting and worthy tribute to salute Dr SRR, the father of Indian Library Science by the Department of Library and Information Science, Univ. Mysore, than by awarding a Ph.D. Degree to Mr K S Dinesh (Asst. Librarian, Nagarjuna College of Engineering, Devanahalli) under the esteemed guidance of Dr Khaiser Nikam, (MBA, MLIS, Ph.D.), Chairperson, DOS, LIS, University of Mysore. The doctoral thesis was on – “Strategic management of Engineering College Libraries in Karnataka: a study”. The latter half of the programme was followed by a vibrant open-house Viva-Voce defence of Sri K S Dinesh ably attended by the library science faculty members and students of the library science department. The programme concluded with words of congratulations by Prof. V G Talawar, Board of Studies Chairman, and the other library science faculty members on the good doctoral work carried out by Mr K S Dinesh under Dr Khaiser Nikam.
