Friends, About 40 years a group of doctors and surgeons in Chennai (where I live) did something remarkable. Higher education institutions and research centres were struggling to find funds for subscribing to important journals. The foreign exchange position was very tight. Journal sections of libraries even in leading institutions were famished. But researchers and students needed the latest literature. This small group thought they could do something at least for practising doctors. We talk about jugad and doing the best one could do at any given situation, and finding affordable solutions to the crises we face. This group of medical professionals did exactly that, and they have now told how they did it. They deserve to be congratulated not only for what they did but also for making their story freely accessible to the world through this six-page OA article DISSEMINATING MEDICAL LITERATURE AND KNOWLEDGE IN INDIA IN THE 1980S: THE SMLRT STORY https://jmla.mlanet.org/ojs/jmla/article/view/1424 With best wishes, Arun
