Shahab <tshahab@jamiahamdard.ac.in> This is to convey my hearty congratulations to the Library professionals of Karnataka on the declaration of August 12 as Librarians' Day. The government deserve our immense thanks for according this noble profession of information communication and knowledge generation the recognition which was long overdue. It will certainly give a much needed boost to the morale of the serving library professionals and also help bring the profession, its nature & contributions, to the public eye. Librarians being teacher of teachers are really the backbone of any successful educational & research institution. Undoubtedly, the celebrations should be grand. But the accolade will ring true only when the beneficiaries- the academic community and students- come forward to put on record their appreciation of the librarians' contributions. With best regards. -----Original Message----- Date: Thu, 9 Aug 2007 17:09:25 +0530 (IST) From: I.R.N.Goudar <goudar@css.nal.res.in> Dear Professional Colleagues, For the first time all Professional Organisations (in Bangalore) and Department of Public Libraries, Govt of Karnataka have joined hands in Celebrating LIBRARIANS' DAY in large scale.
