From: Sharmila Ghosh Dear Mr Vinit Kumar
Thank you for sharing your '*pearls of wisdom*' and reinforcing my
awareness about the value and efficacy of webinars.
With more than 30 years of working experience as a library professional
with particular interest in knowledge sharing and selective dissemination
of information, I guess I am capable of making comparative studies of
domains .. homogeneous or heterogeneous, whatever they may be.
I am afraid you failed to catch the metaphor in my statement or the image I
shared. (image credit not mine)

Mysore, Karnataka On Sat, May 23, 2020 at 9:36 PM Vinit Kumar Dear Ms Sharmila Gosh, Sorry to say that you are comparing an online activity with a pandemic.
You are
comparing a disease taking human lives with an event that is enriching
the
knowledge base of many in this case library professionals in a situation
where physically attending academic activities is not possible.
On the same lines, the term 'excess' is a relative term that varies from
person
to person as all of them are optional, and one has the freedom to attend
depending on one's interest.
Additionally, these webinars have allowed crossing the limitations of
money,
space and accessibility of listening to the views of senior
professionals. No doubt they have provided a platform for the upcoming
LIS speakers
and professionals to share their experiences too. In my opinion, these
webinars offer the knowledge in one or two hours that you gain by
spending
min 6-7 hours of logistics and other expenses when you attend physical
conferences. The other benefits as you mentioned associated with physical
conferences were anyway missing in the majority od national or
international
conferences organised in India barring few of the reputed conferences. As a professional, we should be happy that the flow of knowledge is
taking place
through a medium accessible to all. --

From: Sushanta Pathy Dear Professionals,
I totally disagree with the excess of webinars phenomena. In these lockdown
days, this helps the learners and speakers both to share their queries and
exploring the knowledge without travel, registration and boarding costs
simply sitting at home saving time and money. Of course I do agree there
should be quality in our lecture so that a clear concept reaches to the
learners. With regards,

perusal
of LIS Forum members ЁЯСЗ -------- Forwarded message ---------
From: Sharmila Ghosh When you attend an event physically / in person..
Be it a scholarly event or a socio-cultural event, the levels of *active*
participation, verbal interactions with fellow participants , information
exchange and knowledge sharing.. Happens at different levels altogether..
This *cannot* be possible from the space of your home or office, you
being
solo.. And isolated..
Just you, your equipment, the network and everything that is possible
online! Agree.. In a situation like this (lockdown and compulsory social
distancing) we don't have a better option. But, why not keep the number
of
such webinars limited ONLY to what is actually required.? On Sat, 23 May, 2020, 2:37 PM Nabi Hasan, Infact this is good, that the people have choice to attend without
cost,
keeping busy and learning as well. Its better than predatory
conferences
or
publishing or predatory awards.

spreading more knowledge than pre-Covid19 situation.
Let the budding professionals learn from the experienced professionals
and scholars through these webinars. With Best Wishes Anup On Sat, May 23, 2020 at 12:53 PM Sharmila Ghosh Number of webinar cases each day is exceeding spike in corona cases -- ~ Dr. Anup Kumar Das
