Dear Professionals, I am very sorry to inform you that Mr. B. Garudadwajan, Ex Head, Information Centre, NAL, Bengaluru passed away on 14th March 2022 at the age of 91 due to brain hemorrhage leading to coma condition. A close relative of Late B.S. Keshavan, one of the doyon of LIS in India, Garudadwajan had M.Sc. Mathematics and served initially Institution of Engineers, Calcutta for 3 years and later the erstwhile INSDOC before joining the Information Centre of CSIR - Indian Institute of Petroleum, Dehradun. He did the INSDOC course. He went as UNDP Fellow to University of Texas at Austin, USA. He joined ICAST, CSIR - National Aerospace Laboratories, Bengaluru. He was a pioneer in running a satellite based Online Information Service using ESA-IRS. He was deputed to ESA, Frascati, Rome, Italy to get expertise in Information Search Techniques. He led this Centre as its Head for 5 years before retiring in March 1992. Infact I took the charge of ICAST from him. He was a constant source of guidance for me in the matter concerned with managing ICAST. In the last phase (two years) of his life, he ventured into a modest exercise of creating a list of about 5000 words based on the contents of many newspapers and research articles. This is being published as an e-Book titled "*Concept Clusters for Vocabulary Build-up*". This is a converse of Dictionary useful for improving the quality of writing. The preview of this work is available at https://www.scribd.com/document/322563503/Vocabulary-Builder His daughter Roopa is in the process of making available the final edited version very soon. Late Mr Garudadwajan was a knowledgeable and very soft spoken thorough LIS professional. He has left behind him his wife and two daughters. He lived happily and breathed last very peacefully. MAY HIS SOUL REST IN PEACE. OM SHANTHI. Regards, Dr I.R.N. Goudar "Access E-Resources for Academic and Research Excellence" *- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -* Dr. I.R.N.
