I do not think there is any thing wrong in posting election related information. This is also profession related. Thanks G ..K.Manjunath. Librarian BASE University, Bangalore. On Mon, 7 Feb 2022, 17:51 Dr. Sandeep Bhavsar, wrote:

Respected All

I think we shall not restrict any one about sharing ILA election propaganda. Let them share their vision and the work they have done in the past for the upliftment of the profession. I think this will be a good platform to know the vision for the profession of all president candidates. I am sure most of them have been associated and worked with ILA for minimum 10 years. Elected team will definitely add value to the profession and this messages will help the voters to judge them on their past work and vision. Please allow them to post the messages on LIS-forum.
