hi it is unfortunate that questions asked should be worth answering. if u go to yellow pages and look for the details easy to get the information. these days the yellow pages also available on phone such as in hyderabad dial 24444444. they will give the information. who is going to look for the information and give u for electronic boardss. even if i give hyderabad address how it is is relevant to other cities. therefore, let our friends try their sources instead of making someone to serve, thenn u can ask the group. laxman rao --- j sharma <jsharma@niilm.com> wrote: > Dear All
Infact after receiving Prafulla mail, I was also thinking almost on the same lines as expressed by Vyasamoorthy. In almost every conference/seminar now a days these issues are raised and well enlightened papers are presented, resolutions are passed and after that it is again the routine. Nothing change. The main thing is who will bell the cat. Except a few big institutions and probably universities where are the resources and manpower to handle such projects. I have seen the institutions working with even one single library staff. How can he provide the reference or information services.
Thus any initiative taken is a welcome step but be sure it will remain confined to only the ones who already have access to such facilities.
These are my personal views and must not be taken as any offence to any one.

Dear Friends:
Prafulla's Suggestions have profound intent. However
always "who will bell the cat?" (Who will pay for the expenses involved?) I have some suggestions in this respect.
To have a good database of Indian librarians, why not use the existing librarians directory in www.infolibrarian.com ? OR you may try Inflibnets Experts Database as well. The latter is academic
the question is librarians oriented;
Inflibnet database's Data Entry Form is far too detailed and this might deter many from adding their own data. Infolibrarian is for ALL librarians. Every librarian, big or small, may be persuaded to enter his details here. It so happens that only Juniors enter their data in such databases. Seniors are too proud to lend their names to be included. To obviate this problem each institute/library may request one of the
colleagues to enter all > library professionals names into this infolibrarian directory. > > We have a number of sources for details of librarians like INFLIBNET, > INFOLIBRARIAN.
