Dear Dr Francis, It is very unfortunate to know that NCSI no longer exists officially. Its contribution to LIS profession would always be remembered. I hope LIS-Forum would continue to exist on IISc domain as this being the first list provided platform for professionals to discuss on professional issues and allowed them to share information. I appreciate the role of late Dr T.B. Rajashekar, you and other staff of NCSI in providing various services to the research community and imparting training to LIS professionals. I wish you and other staff of NCSI all the best on your future endeavours. best Regards, Dr S.M.

Dear Members, The National Centre for Science Information (NCSI), IISc, Bangalore, does not exist anymore. The official dissolution order was issued recently. The Archives and Publications Cell at IISc will be occupying the erstwhile NCSI building.
As per my choice, I have been transferred to the JRD Tata Memorial Library (JRDTML), IISc and have since reported for work there. My present contact details are appended to this mail.
As many of you are aware, this discussion list (LIS-Forum) service is being administered from the erstwhile NCSI since 1997. With the closure of NCSI, there is a question mark about its continuity from the IISc domain.
I haven't yet had a chance to discuss the matter related to the continuity of the LIS-Forum service from the JRDTML with the Library in-charge, JRDTML. Will do so at an earliest opportunity and let you know if the service would be continued from the JRDTML or its time for the change of the guard!
With best regards,
