Dear professionals, I came to the library profession 23 years back from Kerala Unviersity. I had the noble opportunity of being a student of Smt. K.K.Lalithabai, who had always shown dedication in her efforts to bring students to the subject areas which are new to them. Her approach to the subject always kindled curiosity among the students and were anxious to know more about it. Further when somebody gets a job in a university like situation they will forget about their social commitments. But my teacher was always in the fore front of socail activities and even now she is there. She had been awarded by various cultural forums for her literary works. We the students of Smt. Lalithabai are proud to say that we are her students. A team of great teachers lead by late Prof. K.A.Isaac, Sri.C.A.Augustine, Dr.C.V.Rajan Pillai and Smt. Lalthabai was there tp lead us into the profession. I wish my beloved teacher a great future during her retired life with activities commited to social cause. gopakumar.v Gopakumar.V Research Scholar Department of Library & Information Science Mangalore University Mangalagangotri gopakumar.v@rediffmail.com Dear professionals,     I came to the library profession 23 years back from Kerala Unviersity.
