In fact, I had to face some harsh comments from other Indian colleagues when I mentioned in a discussion list that NCSI was a good training centre for young Indian librarians. He is no more. Why should such an accomplished expert die when he has so much more to give to the rest of us, I do not understand. Nature's ways are inscrutable.

Dear All It is not only shocking but also unfortunate that our profession has lost a bright and nice professional like Rajashekar. He had made meaningful contribution to the library profession through his teaching and training initiatives. On the forefront of Digital Library movement in India, Dr. Rajashekar was the bastion of new generation librarianship in the country. For young professionals he was not only inspiring but also a guide to many. May his soul rest in peace and may god give the necesssary courage to the bereaved family members. Our condolences to NCSI community also. H Anil Kumar and Staff Nirma University Ahmedabad H.

Dear Rakesh and Friends: Congrats on your work to promote Free Software. I have a suggestion. You may also promote open access to scientific and scholarly journal literature. For a clear idea of open access and its tremendous benefits, please look up "Open Access News" the daily blog of Prof. Peter Suber. Or, if you live in Bangalore, visit NCSI at IISc and talk to Mr Francis Jayakanth. If you live in New Delhi, visit NIC and meet Mr Sukhdev Singh or Dr Naina Panditha. They are running 'OpenMED' an open access archive for biomedical literature. If you are in Bombay, you may talk to Dr D K Sahu of MedKnow Publications. Thanks and best wishes.
