Dear LIS-Forum Members, Greetings. After nearly three decades of moderating and administering the LIS-Forum, the time has come for me to step down from this responsibility as I retire from the Indian Institute of Science on 31 July 2026 upon attaining superannuation. It has been a privilege to serve the library and information science community through this forum. Over the years, LIS-Forum has grown into a vibrant platform for sharing professional knowledge, announcements, discussions, and opportunities. I sincerely thank all the members for your active participation, valuable contributions, and support, which have made the forum a meaningful resource for our profession. I am pleased to inform you that, effective August 1, 2026, the administration and moderation of LIS-Forum will be assumed by Mr Pradeep Kavi, my colleague at J.R.D. Tata Memorial Library, Indian Institute of Science. I request all members to extend the same encouragement, support, and cooperation to Mr. Pradeep Kavi that you have generously extended to me over the years. With my sincere thanks and best wishes to all. Warm regards, Francis Francis Jayakanth Moderator, LIS-Forum J.R.D. Tata Memorial Library Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru
