Dear All,

The Wiley India has called nominations from Academic and Research Libraries in the country for various Library Awards. I appreciate the efforts of the award winning publisher to honour the libraries and librarians for their noble work.

However, after going through their nomination forms available online, I understand (if not wrong) that the Wiley is more interested to know the financial health of the Academic and Research Libraries in the country than to know about various measures taken by the libraries towards digital transformation.

I failed to understand how the information sought such as (1) Total Annual Budget In Crores (2) Percentage Increase in Budget during Last 5 Years (3) Individual Subscription to Journals etc. correlate with the objectives of the said "Awards" ?

The right thing, with the wrong motive, is the wrong thing. The views expressed here are my personal views.

Regards,

Anand Dodamani Mumbai
