Date: Sun, 7 Aug 2011 07:48:23 +0530 From: Pandurang Konnur Dear Friends, I am happy to inform you that IALA and KALA are jointly organizing the Librarians� Day on 12th August. Last year all of you gave a befitting support. I have already posted couple of messages through LIS-FORUM. But unfortunately very little response is seen from the professionals in registration. This will reduce the enthusiasm among the organizers. As it is we have very thin leadership in our profession. We need to build a very strong unity among our professionals and create a second level of leadership among young Librarians. Here I need your fullest support. Please communicate this message to maximum of your professional friends and send me their email addresses and mobile numbers. I will be able to reach all of you with the latest updates of the event. We have made elaborate arrangements for the Librarians� Day celebrations. We have got printed a beautiful poster which all of you can put on your notice boards. This will promote the image of Librarians in the eyes of the students and Teachers of your Institution. We have kept these posters in Central College Library before Mysore Bank in Mejestic. Please contact Dr.Anjanappa (22961275). If you cannot go over there please send your peons or attenders with your letters to collect them. You can seethe poster by clicking the following URL. http://library.bub.ernet.in/libday/poster.jpg We have also obtained the orders of Directorate of Collegiate Education sanctionning OOD for all the Librarians attending the Librarians Day. You can download the order from the following URL: http://library.bub.ernet.in/libday/go.jpg We have also got the Certificates printed to give to all those who attend the Librarians� Day celebrations and the Seminar on Life and works of Dr.S.R.Ranganarhan.

Felicitation to Prof.Gopinath: We have requested Prof.Gopinath to be with us on that day and decided to felicitate him on the occassion for his Life time contribution to the Profession.
