Dear Professionals,
I also have great and useful memories to cherish about LIS Forum. I became its member in way back 2004 and it is hard to imagine without LIS Forum mails even a single day. LIS Forum makes learning and sharing happens and brings the entire LIS Professional community together. Innumerable young professionals have benifited and taken guidance from experienced people on LIS Forum, it is just like a virtual Gurukool. It is hard to believe that NCSI a premier training institute for LIS professionals is no more exists, but NCSI teams contributions to LIS field is enormous will be remembered for ever. I urge on behalf of the entire LIS community to IISc Bangalore to host this LIS Forum on their server and become a part of the success story. I also request ILA and other premier associations to act and save our beloved LIS-Forum.
Thanks & Regards

Subject: [LIS-Forum] Closure of NCSI
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,
