Balaram, Former Director, IISc Abstract: Libraries can be endless sources of pleasure for those who wish to learn. I describe four examples of searches for information about little known scientists who did outstanding work in their time. The use of both scientometric data and archives will be illustrated with specific examples. I shall narrate the stories of what I learnt of Sambhu Nath De, who discovered cholera toxin in Kolkata, Dorothy Hamre who discovered the coronavirus in Chicago, Bijoor Sanjiva Rao who isolated morellin at IISc and William Mock who rediscovered a 1905 paper and found the remarkable molecule, cucurbituril. There is joy in searching and indescribable pleasure on finding. Panel Discussion: Prof. L.
