It is really a painful news. I had interactions with him on several
occasions and was very cordial and friendly. Whenever I met he had
received me with affectionately and we discussed many professional matters
together even when he was in IISc.
A great loss to the profession.
RIP Dr. Venkadeshan

[LIS-Forum] Venky-ISB no more.
A sad Sunday. Dr. Venkateshan,ÃÂ has suddenly left for his heavenly abode
this morning, leaving us.
Starting his career as a scientist (metallurgist) in IGCAR,ÃÂ he made
librarianship a successful career thereÃÂ and came to national
prominence as
he moved up in the LIS ladder to IISc and Indian School of Business,
Hyderabad. A vibrant, fun loving and amazingly enthusiasticÃÂ person, he
made LIS his cosy and engaging professional home giving it a touch of
scholarship. A new annual seminar series, he launched and ledÃÂ three years
ago along with Anil Kumar (IIM-A) is a very different and innovative model
to remember and continue after him.ÃÂ I worked with him closely when
Informatics had launchedÃÂ Infovision 2005, an annual event then.
We miss him. We pray for his soul to rest in peace.
