Dear Members, I am pleased to inform you all that, presently I am in UK to take up Commonwealth Professional Fellowship at Institute of Development Studies, University of Sussex, Brighton. As a part of my work here, I have developed a blog to report my selected activities. The main idea behind the development of blog is to disseminate information to professionals working in India and other developing countries. The blog has postings on Web 2.0, Portal design, MARC21, Mapping etc. It also has links to the events and visits, which I will be undertaking during my period of fellowship. The blog can be accessed at: http://spujar.wordpress.com You may please go through the blog and add your comments to the posts. Any other comments and suggestions off the list are most welcome. It will be updated on a continuous basis with new postings, hence you may please visit it again. I sincerely thank my supervisor Ms Catherine Fisher for encouraging me to undertake this work. Look forward for your feedback. With best Regards, Dr Shamprasad M.
