Re: [LIS-Forum] LIS FEDERATION formed at Bangalore-reg
by Shekar H P 21 Feb '14

21 Feb '14

Dear Professional Friends, Greetings for the day…and Apology for cross posting...!!! I wanted to respond to the postings made by Dr. IRN Goudar, Dr.Siddamallaiah and other KALA Members on the formation of LIS Federation in Bangalore. 1. I always respect my seniors and my sincere salutes for their valid responses / Comments. It was expected. Even though effort was appreciated by many others, few objections were raised by KALA members only as if thinking that it is one more parallel association with KALA. But it is not. 2. First thing I want to clear that, I am not the founder of this federation as commented in the LIS FORUM postings. I joined the team as a last person on request made by few members of the existing GB. Accepted their invitation, attended the last meeting, the committee assigned me a job to post this message (received from the President and General Secretary of the Federation) in different forums…. I did it with good intension. Following formalities in the formation of a Federation, seeking their concurrence, preparations / homework made etc, may be replied by the General Secretary and others who took initiative from the beginning. For your kind information, Governing council members are all well experienced (more than 20years) knowledgeable and they are able to think before taking any decisions. I request my super seniors not to convey wrong interpretations to the professional friends on me please. 3. Secondly, except KALA, all the other associations in Karnataka, like KSCLA, AKELPA, Karnataka Medical Library Association, KASULA, KSSC/STLA, SIS Bangalore Chapter all are doing their best in the professional activities. Each association is able and stable for fighting with the government. They are doing it and succeeded/benefitted for some extend. And hats off to MyLISA, and its team too for their innovative activities as you all aware. I have very good relation with all these associations and their activities; my sincere appeal to Dr. Goudar and Sunil not to divide us. 4. Thirdly, we respect KALA more. But as a professional, I was not happy with the objectives and activities of KALA. As this has got a statutory power in the state (output?), poor academic Library professionals expects more from the association in the present critical circumstances compare to the past 30plus years. This is not happening. I discussed with few senior members of KALA also but it was in vain. Simple Ex: Discussion on the Formation of a Federation, started in KALA six years ago (as told by Dr. HSS), but still under preparation (as posted by Dr.IRNG). This is KALA. If anybody hurt with this statement, (I am also a member and hurt me too) I am sorry. 5. Fourth, I may be poor in just posting polished statements like Dr. Sunil and few of others, but more interested in putting thoughts into practice. Hurdles always are there and I am of the habit of accepting best ones and converting the criticism into best suggestions. Thanks for the criticisms- created food for fruitful discussion. Lastly, we the like-minded professionals have initiated / created the platform for open discussion with a good intention. Still it is in primary stage. As I knew, the present Governing body is also tentative one. This is the high time. Let all of us sit together, offer suggestions, workout the modalities of formation, bye- law etc. Let anybody take the lead, we will support them. I will be happy to participate without prejudice in any of the professional meeting called by any association in this regard including KALA. Ultimately purpose should be served, help the budding librarians and save the library profession. Once again, my intention is not to hurt any individual or divide an association. Miss understanding is highly regretted. Thanks for the forum once again….!!! -- *Dr. Shekar H.P.* Head, Knowledge Resource Centre IBS Business School, #231, Near Kengeri Check post Mysore Road, Bangalore-560060 Karnataka - India Ph: (O): 080-66222244 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
