Hello friends, MILAN is born! On the occasion of the inauguration of the golden jubilee of MyDLIS (Mysore University Department of Library and Information Science), MILAN (Mysore University Information and Library Science Alumni Association) was formed to be a platform for the alumni of this illustrious Department to strengthen their ties for the cause of LIS profession and professionalism. MILAN took birth during the Alumni Meet held as part of the Golden Jubilee Celebrations of the Department of Studies in Library and Information Science of the University of Mysore, Mysore held recently. The Grand Finale of the Golden Jubilee of MyDLIS will be organized in collaboration with MILAN during June 19-20,2015 (Friday and Saturday.) Please mark your calendar and plan to be part of the great celebrations of your Alma Mater. We have chosen a weekend to make it convenient for all of you! We have grand plans to make it a professionally meaningful and emotionally fulfilling day for all our alumni. We welcome and solicit your ideas! We will soon be setting up a website (http://www.milan-mysore.org) with interactive participatory features. You are most welcome to populate and contribute to the dialogue and debate. Please join your Alma Mater during its Grand Finale. We don't want to miss even a single alumnus/alumna on that eventful day. The details of the grand finale program will be announced in due course. Stay Tuned for an exciting Golden Jubilee Year of MyDLIS from MILAN! A SPECIAL REQUEST TO ALUMNI OF THE MyDLIS.--Wherever you are, working or retired, or otherwise, please email me (ns.harinarayana@gmail.com) your contact details and register at the MILAN site which will be up soon.
