Dear Professionals,

LIS Forum has its special and important role in disseminating LIS related information among LIS professionals, as it was initiated by NCSI with the support of NISSAT.

Since it is "moderated" my real LIS professionals at NCSI, the issue of irrelevancy doesn't arrise. Still the members feel so, Moderators can frame a policy and publish it in the Forum.

To stop reading all mails appearing forums, I have a suggestion. We can catagorise the messages under different themes.

For Example, if there is an announcement about a conference programme, the SUBJECT line can be "Conf-Ann: National Seminar on..........", if it is a seminar organised by KALA, it can be "Conf-Ann-KALA: National Seminar on .......".

Same way we can put "Trg-Ann-NCSI: Workshop on DSpace by NCSI.....".

If there is some discussion going on, then it can be "Dis-Relevance of LIS Forum"

Interlibrary Loans can be put under "ILL-Req-Kashmir University" or "DocDel-Req-Kashmir University"..like that.

Subjects like "Help required" should be changed to "Help:Topic for Ph D Research". (More specific) So one can delete or open these mails 'flooded' on their inboxes, by reading the Subject line. Subjects like "Help required" should be changed to "Help:Topic for Ph D Research".

Even the mails send to LIS forum doesn't have a subject which reveals the message, the moderator can catagorise it an put a subject.

My personal opinion is that LIS forum should publish messages related o LIS profession, whether it is local, regional, state, national or international. But at the same time, the sender should use his or her common sense, whether to publish it in a national forum or not.

Regards
