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.
