Dear Mr. Haravu, It is a wonderful New Year gift to the library professionals in India and also the other countries in the Developing World. You and your team worked so hard to make it one of the best product and many libraries will benefit by using it. One of the main reasons for delay in the implementation of Library Automation in India is because of non-availability of a good high-end software with all the functions and standards like NewGenlib. Your other contribution in the form of text-book (Library Automation) has become valuable to the professional community. It is the only text-book of its kind from India. Library professionals will remember you for ever for this gesture. We all wish you good health. Dr. E.

Hearty congratulations to the NewGenLib team and all the others who are directly or indirectly associated in developing this wonderful product and now for making it open-source! LIS professionals will greatly benefit by using this package because it not only helps them to automate their libraries but it also helps in maintaining their open-access repositories. Both these activities are very essential for many of the academic libraries. Till now, to the best of my knowledge, most of the libraries are using two different software packages, one for library automation and the other for open access repositories. With the availability of NewGenLib, both these essential activities can be integrated thus eliminating the possibility of using more than one computer server. Maintaining computer servers with minimal of downtime and up-to-date OS and other software packages is not an easy task. With best wishes, - Francis NCSI, IISc Bangalore
