I had interactions with him on several occasions and was very cordial and friendly. Whenever I met he had received me with affectionately and we discussed many professional matters together even when he was in IISc. A great loss to the profession.

A sad Sunday. Dr. Venkateshan,ÃÂ has suddenly left for his heavenly abode this morning, leaving us. Starting his career as a scientist (metallurgist) in IGCAR,ÃÂ he made librarianship a successful career thereÃÂ and came to national prominence as he moved up in the LIS ladder to IISc and Indian School of Business, Hyderabad. A vibrant, fun loving and amazingly enthusiasticÃÂ person, he made LIS his cosy and engaging professional home giving it a touch of scholarship. A new annual seminar series, he launched and ledÃÂ three years ago along with Anil Kumar (IIM-A) is a very different and innovative model to remember and continue after him.ÃÂ I worked with him closely when Informatics had launchedÃÂ Infovision 2005, an annual event then. We miss him. We pray for his soul to rest in peace. -- *SATHYA* *|*N. V. Sathyanarayana*|*Informatics India Ltd.*|*Bangalore 560004*|*INDIA *|*
