It is indeed sad to hear that Dr. Malwad a distinguished LIS professional is no more. I know him personally and can say that he is a gentleman par- excellence, a true LIS professional and one of the earliest experts in programing and information technology. It is a great loss to our profession. May his soul rest in peace. Dr. M. Koteswara Rao Librarian university of Hyderabad
Dear Professional friends,
With great sorrow with heavy heart it is informed that one of the stalwarts in the profession, a great teacher, scholar and very humanitarian Librarian Prof. N.. M. Malwad is no more with us. He left for heavenly abode on 15th, October, 2009 at 09:30AM. His sad demise is a great loss to the LIS Profession. As we all know, he had a very distinguished career heading TIFR and IISc Library and a rare distinction of working on INIS system in its initial stages. He was instrumental in setting up of several organizations including INFLIBNET. He was Invited by the UGC to work on a Special Committee formed for preparing a Project Report on INFILBNET and worked as the core member in preparing and finalizing Report on INFLIBNET. He is fondly remembered for his lively and scholarly talks and his human approach to help any body. It is a great personal loss to me and my family. We pray God to rest the departed Soul in Peace.
Puttabasavaiah.
