Dear Friends, It is indeed a great pleasure for us at Informatics to share with you the successful conclusion of LTC2018 at Goa University. The event witnessed the inauguration of the conclave by Her Excellency Governor of Goa and Chancellor, Goa University, Smt. Mridula Sinha and words of encouragement through a video message by the Hon'ble Union Minister of Human Resources and Development, Shri Prakash Javadekar in the presence of Honb'le Vice Chancellor of Goa University, Shri Varun Sahni. The presentations during the event from National and International speakers were extremely thought provoking and a learning experience for all the delegates. The star attraction of the event was two awards - the Best Koha Library Award and The LibTECH Award (for the Best technology enabled library). We received 12 nominations for Koha Award and 11 nominations for the LibTECH Award. The conclave concluded with the presentation of awards to the winners as under: 1. The Best Koha Library Award was presented to the Cochin University of Science and Technology Library, Kochi 2. The LibTECH Award was presented to Information Resource Centre, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) represented by TCS, Pune and Mumbai at the conclave. Hearty congratulations to both the winners! The awards were decided by two independent panels of Juries, one for Koha chaired by Mr. Christopher Cormack and another chaired by Dr. Marshall Breeding based on the criteria set by the juries. We would also like to thank all nominee institutions, panel of juries, speakers and delegates, and Goa University for their support in organizing the LTC2018.

26 Jan '18

 Prof. B Guha is no more I had met him for the first time in 1978 when we had invited him to a seminar in the Department of LIS at the University of Kashmir.I remember and cherish my meetings with the great man What a man of dedication, simplicity and great vision. . Now that he is no more simply shouting he did this thing and that thing or he was this and that will not do. As a symbol of respect and appreciation to his contributions and accomplishments let us strive to work the way he did to contribute to the profession that is craving for  transformation in the wake of the ICT revolution. That will be a befitting tribute to the departed soul.  I treasure all the wonderful times I have spent with him and all the happy memories I have of him.  Prof.Wajih A AlviProf. Wajih A.
