Dear friendsI dont find something new in the attitude of Kerala University towards library science and working librarians. I was a student of Kerala University during 1983. After that I wanted to have my Masters through some distance course as I did not get a chance at Kerala University. Since I was working in Government of Kerala, never had a chance to get deputed also. I wanted to try Madras University distance course in the year 1991. I came to know that the Kerala University do not recognize the Madras distance course. I approached all doors at that time including the faculty at Kerala university . But my requests were unheard by the authorities. I know that at that time also the faculty were engaged as examines for such distance courses. This is not a blame at all but as I got a chance to open up my mind I am writing this. The department never helped the librarians in the Kerala Government to come up. We had all sorts of hindrance! s and those who have come up have reached there through their own efforts. Hence it is my humble request to the faculty at Kerala University that please open up yourself and provide avenues for the working professionals.   Dr GOPAKUMAR V.
