This is true picture of how our government actual promotes higher education and research in country. Compare it with China, which is making so much of investment in R&D development espcially in scientific research. Our government just talk hollow about promotion of scientific activities in the country,but do exactly opposite. Closure of NCSI is not the only example of these double standards, there are many other such instances. I sincerely wish the continuity of LIS-FORUM and hope the wise sense will prevail and JRDTML management will allow continuity of this very-very useful platform.

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!
