Dear Professional Colleagues, I retired formally on superannuation, today, 30th June 2009 from my present post as Head, Information Centre at NAL. During 32 years of my professional career in various institutions like CFTRI-Mysore, L&T-Bombay, IICT-Hyderabad, IIT-Chennai and NAL many of you have extended your affection, cooperation and helped me in providing effective information services to all our patrons. The Karnataka State Library Association for which I worked as its president earlier for a short period, is one of the top level professional organization which needs to be strengthened by way of increasing its membership base and new activities. The present office bearers are very active and I am sure they will take the association to the new height. I thank members of various professional associations/organisations including ILA, IASLIC, SIS, ALSD, IALA, IPLA, INFLIBNET, ARP-AR&DB/DRDO,Bangalore Libraries Group, NCSI-NET, etc., wherein I was involved in their activities in way or the other. I also thank the Dept. of Public Libraries, Govt. of Karnataka for having given me an opportunity to serve as a member of SLA. I cherished the assignments given to me during refreshers courses conducted especially by Bangalore University, Mysore University, Kuvempu University, Karnatak University, RGUHS and some Engineering Colleges, for which I thank concerned faculty members/librarians. While I will be retiring from my service at NAL I would like to be active in all professional matters. Once again I thank all professionals and wish you all best accomplishments both in professional career and personal life. I can be contacted at the following address: Email:irnaganagoudar@yahoo.co.in Phone:080-25235315 Mobile:09845381854 Once thanks and greetings.
