Dear Libraryprofessionals, Almost all IndianLibrary Science students might have heard of Padmasri B.S. Keshavan, the firstLibrarian of National Library- Calcutta, who is also known as Father of IndianNational Bibliography. Here’s a most memorable intercourse between two literarygaints which you can really enjoy! Sri Ha. Ma. Nayak, (1931-2000) a few monthsbefore taking charge of Vice-Chancellorship of Gulbarga University, interviewedSri B.S. Keshavan (Bellary Shamanna Kesavan) (1909 –2000), the first Directorof the Indian National Scientific Documentation Centre (INSDOC), FounderLibrarian of National Library of India. Excerpts of the both intellect seemsrelevant at this time also even after 37 years. It was the time in1980s when computers were introduced in western countries. At that time only,Sri BS Keshavan predicted that “even after 100 years, Print books will be there”. There is a message toall the stakeholders of Library Science, working in Public/Academic/SpecialLibraries regarding the qualities one should have; Library Science Coursedevelopers/ Teachers about re-framing of Syllabi for Library Science coursethat suits to Indian context. Sri Ha Ma Nayak quotesSamuel Johnson’s saying ‘Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subjectourselves, or we should know where we can find information upon it’ andcontinued that probably library professionals does the latter one. The audio recording isin Kannada and was telecasted by Akashavani, Mysuru on 24th February,1984. Both of them are not with us now. Hope, you will enjoy the thoughtfulconversation between them, please hear the 22 minutes audio till the end. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1910483609102361&id=100004222217967&sfnsn=wiwspwa Dr. Gangadhar K.C.Senior Librarian Nitte Meenakshi Institute of Technology P.B.No.6429, Yelahanka, Bangalore-560 064.
