Members who want to express their comments on the this topic main write to "vijaya kumara <vijayakumar71(a)yahoo.co.in>' directly. May be Mr. Vijaya Kumar can come out with his strategy, based on his experience and the inputs he has received from LIS-Forum, as to how should an institution go about in procuring large number of *useful* books in one shot. --------note ends here--------- Stimulating to the mail of our Library professional Mr. Abhilash, SKCET-coimbatore on 25,000 titles of Engineering. As per you, the function of LIS forum is to solve the problems which are or which will be faced by junior/ senior library professionals, but it should not be used as a stage for critiscising the problem(s)/ request of any library professionals. We should always use LIS forum to give moral support or practical solution to over come the problem(s), which yields to use of LIS forum once again for the benefit of library and library user Mr. Abhilash points out that, "One of our respectable member tried to lay a partition line between Private College librarians and Public Librarians". But I didn't find any particition which layed by one of the member, but I find amalgamation of vegetables and books, vegetable market and library only. I think Mr. Abhilash and other library professionals will accept my response in the right way Regards Vijayakumar M

Hence, I gave the step by step procedure to get the collections. Our inputs at LIS-FORUM should always be supportive and helpful to our fellow professionals. At the same time informative, so that they can utilise the experience of senior professionals in some way, some time. Regards, Gayathri Sen, PESIT

Date: 22 Jul 2004 12:20:02 -0000 From: Abhilash P P <abhi_skcet(a)rediffmail.com> Dear LIS Professional members I am not fully accepting Vijayakumar's opinion, because one of a important function of LIS Forum is to solve problems with mutual understanding and discussions, in such a situation positive criticism may occur that have to be accepted in its right sense. Then only one can understand the real situations of problems. One of our respectable member tried to lay a partition line between Private College librarians and Public Librarians. He should not forget that both are working for the satisfaction of readers or users of their own library. without spending conciously on collection development of library may create a dangerous situation, in which the function of library user service may change to storage service. I think all members will accept this opinion in their right sense thanks with best regards Abhilash SKCET- Coimbatore -----Original Message------- On Thu, 22 Jul 2004 Mailing List Manager wrote : >Date: Thu, 22 Jul 2004 07:59:13 +0100 (BST) > From: "[iso-8859-1] vijaya kumara" <vijayakumar71(a)yahoo.co.in> > >Appreciating the Basudev Mohanty mail on 25,000 titles in Engineering field, > >There is a difference in the responsibility of the library professionals >who are working in the Public sector based college libraries and Private >sector based college libraries.

Simply with out knowing the situatuion, the others should not critise the mails of any other librarians. As they have a taken good deciscion in taking the help of LIS forum to meet their management or library requirement . If possible we should help morally or practically other wise we should not critise. We should always motivate the young professionals to utilize the LIS forum for the benefit of the Library, library user and their Institution. Mr. Basudev Mohanty rightly points out that the "the books should not be compared to the vegetables" As the books are product of the human experience, knowledge in their filed.
