Bright, intelligent and practical librarian of our generation, the earliest initiator of computers in Indian libraries, and a confident and knowledgable LIS professional is sadly no more. I had the fortune of knowing and interact ling with him for five decades since his BHEL days, though not as often as I would have loved to. When I presented a two-day workshop on Online searching at the IICT, Hyderabad (then RRL), during mid-80s which he attended, a piece of advice he gave me in structuring training presentation changed my entire outlook and approach to training methods and models completely. We miss you Haravu. May your soul rest in peace.

Shri L J Haravu, residing at Mysore has passed away on 2nd of night of March 2020 with brief illness of old age issues. He was a guiding spirit for LIS professionals at Mysuru. He was freelance information consultant. He was associated with Kesavan Institute of Information and Knowledge Management. He was also source behind developing NewGenLib LIS software. He was active on Facebook, specially with witty poems.

Laksminarasimh Jayaram Haravu b.1935, has Masters degree in Mathematics and Masters in Information Science.

Since 1964, Shri. Haravu was pioneer in designing and implementing computer - based tools to improve information services for scientific and technical users of libraries in India and globally. A mathematician by training, Haravu entered the information field at the National Scientific Documentation Centre in New Delhi. He has since collaborated in many projects and held senior positions at the Indian Institute of Technology, the National Small Industry Extension Training Institute(NISIET) and Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd. (BHEL). He was consultant for DESIDOC, INFLIBNET, FAO, IDRC, ILRI, etc. He served as a head of the Library and Documentation services at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) , Hyderabad.

I met him at ICRISAT as student of BLIS in 1991, he inspired us with lot of enthusiasm on current practices in Library Automation, Databases, Services, Future Trends, etc. and opportunities to work in LIS field. Till last year he was frequently visiting KSOU Library with his Engineer friend. I pray god almighty to rest his soul in peace and give strength to bear this great loss to his family.
