New subject: LIS-Forum Digest, Vol 189, Issue 23

19 Dec 2018

      Dear professional friends,

It is too dangerous for our library community. This is not only one
community's, even RBI also appointed non economist as a chief of RBI. Think
if it is continues all sector's, how we will contribute to our society?

Hope this type of appointment will stop in the future.

Dear Library Professionals,
It is a very shocking news that a Non-Library person appointed as the
Director of INFLIBNET Centre.
This is a very unscientific decision to manage a Library Network by
non-librarian.
Though the essential qualification for the post is that the person from
relevant field, the appointed person is from Statistics, which
is not the relevant field.
It is the prime duty and responsibility of all library professionals and
associations to intimate the authorities the damage may create to the
profession and also to the academics and R&D at large by the decision.
How a Non-Medicine man can do treatment and surgery.  A computer man can
establish physical network, but can not manage knowledge and library and
provide knowledge services scientifically and effectively.
