Dear Friends, Most of my professional colleagues are member of Medical Library Association of India (MLAI). I also take pride to have one of my colleague as its Executive Member. Few months back, I applied for MLAI Membership in their prescribed form along with required fee. Today, I am shocked to see my cheque returned back along with that of my other colleague. He had also applied for the membership separately long back. (This means, they know who we are?!!). What is killing me is that no reason has been given in rejecting my application. Infact there is not even single line of information attached with the cheques. There appears a definite method in this madness. My qualifications and nature of work is similar to those of my other colleagues. If they can be members than why can't I? What should I do in this situation? Please, Don't just press delete. REACT.

Dear Sukhdev, it is unfortunate tht ur application had been rejected for unknown reasons. the way our politics and politicians are behaving , similar way our professional organisations are behaving. wht is the contributions of our associations to common professional? if this question is posed, i think it becomes difficult to answer. as it is nw the image of the lowest level due to several reasons, including the training, schools, type of education, our service and associations.wht are we going to share and give our legacy to next generations. we are able to see increased corruption and wht not. it is so unfortunate. even some of the organsiations have become pocket organsiations. I congratulate tht u have raised ur voice against the rejection. there are many good professionals who are doing best service but it is their own work and own committment. we praise and shd learn from them. i donot hav hopes for betterment of this professions, unless the younger generations takes the task into their hands and makes some attempt to clean the unwanted and politics oriented professionals. i pray almighty god, tht future generations fight for their cause and make an efffort for improvement of the profession. i join Dr sukhdev, protesting for not admitting him as member of the association without mentioning the reasons. let us join together to build the image of our profession with gud work.. laxman rao Sukhdev Singh <esukhdev@gmail.com> wrote: Dear Friends, Most of my professional colleagues are member of Medical Library Association of India (MLAI).

This is really very sad state of affairs that professional associations are run like this in our country. No matter, whatever personal differences or liking/disliking may be but to deny membership in a professional platform can't be said a healthy practice. Professionals may give their reactions but actually the response must come from MLAI office bearers only how do they justify their act.

Dear Sukhdevji, I do agree with Prof Laxman Rao & Mr.Jitender Sharma. But every association got its rules, regulations & eligibility criteria to become members. I hope you do qualify for the same!! as per their rule?? (Although, I know, you are qualified enough for the same .... & you have done note-able work in Indian Medlars Centre). Even if you are not eligible by association rule, I personally feel that the like minded people & well wishers of the association should be allowed to become the member of the association...those who can really contribute professionally to the association in longer term. Have you personally checked with the President or Secretary what was the reason behind rejecting your application! Because there can be some other administrative reason also! May be the increase in membership fee etc. If the above are not the criteria for rejection....then the association doesn't have any moral right to reject your application....that's what make us sad about the functioning of the association. What I feel, that there is a lack of vision on the part of the association. Our association should be more transparent & accountable in their dealings. In any case, the association should have given an explanation to you with the cheque. We should work together... to strengthen our ASSOCIATIONS!!!

Rejecting the candidature of Mr. Sukhdev for membership of MLAI is realy shoking who one else india is serving better than Mr. Sukhdev to medical community by adopting and propagating the means of open access. Although I am not aware of the constitutional requirement of membership of MLAI however i f there is any restriction the constitution of MLAI should be amended to accomodatate such persons . I hope executive of MLAI will take n.a in this direction ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sukhdev Singh" <esukhdev@gmail.com> To: <lis-forum@ncsi.iisc.ernet.in>; <medlib@yahoogroups.com>; <avani_shah@hotmail.com>; <rajkumar196@yahoo.co.in>; <shashikp@hotmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 25, 2007 5:23 PM Subject: [LIS-Forum] MLAI Membership Denied - What to do?
