It is indeed a sad news that Dr. Harish Chandra is no more. I remember talking to him about disaster planning in IIT library, Chennai and his presentation available on net was very informative and useful for my research. I pray for peace to the departed soul and my condolences to his family members.  Regards Dr. Parul Zaveri Assistant Professor Faculty of Library & Information Science SHPT School of Library Science SNDT Women's University Mumbai "An Enlightened Woman is a Source of Infinite Strength" On Monday, 16 June 2014 3:05 PM, Ramesh C Gaur wrote: It is a great loss to both Family and Profession.

Nice and simple person. Very hospitable. Regular Yoga practitioner. He taught me a few yoga exercises. Very passionately implemented ISO-9000 in his Library. His is perhaps one of the very few libraries in the country to be ISO 9000 compliant. This is one of his key practical contribution to the profession for others to follow. May his soul rest in peace. *N.V. Sathya Narayana* *CMD,* *Informatics (India) Ltd, Bangalore.
