Date: 22 Jul 2004 12:20:02 -0000 From: Abhilash P P Dear LIS Professional members I am not fully accepting Vijayakumar's opinion, because one of a important function of LIS Forum is to solve problems with mutual understanding and discussions, in such a situation positive criticism may occur that have to be accepted in its right sense. Then only one can understand the real situations of problems. One of our respectable member tried to lay a partition line between Private College librarians and Public Librarians. He should not forget that both are working for the satisfaction of readers or users of their own library. without spending conciously on collection development of library may create a dangerous situation, in which the function of library user service may change to storage service. I think all members will accept this opinion in their right sense thanks with best regards Abhilash SKCET- Coimbatore -----Original Message------- On Thu, 22 Jul 2004 Mailing List Manager wrote :

Appreciating the Basudev Mohanty mail on 25,000 titles in Engineering field,

There is a difference in the responsibility of the library professionals who are working in the Public sector based college libraries and Private sector based college libraries. Simply with out knowing the situatuion, the others should not critise the mails of any other librarians. As they have a taken good deciscion in taking the help of LIS forum to meet their management or library requirement . If possible we should help morally or practically other wise we should not critise. We should always motivate the young professionals to utilize the LIS forum for the benefit of the Library, library user and their Institution.

Mr. Basudev Mohanty rightly points out that the "the books should not be compared to the vegetables" As the books are product of the human experience, knowledge in their filed. It may useful to layman or professional in that field.

Regards

Vijayakumar M
