Its a shocking news that Dr Venkadeshan passed away on Sunday-- an unbelievable news hard to digest. He was very active in the professional circles in Hyderabad since his assignment at ISB. He was cordial and used to share his experiences on professional matters by associated with a large number of Conferences and Seminars that were held at Hyderabad. LIS professionals miss him a lot. May his soul rest in peace. Dr. S. SUDARSHAN RAOFormer Professor & Head & UGC Emeritus FellowDept of Library & Inf ScienceOsmania UniversityHyderabad - 500007Mobile : 9849228980; Res: 040-27030777

We have shared many professional interactions on various platform...AR&DB, LIS conferences n meets. Have always appreciated his vast knowledge in our field despite his background as an engineer... I would like to share about his singing talent... He had a deep n mesmerising voice. During the Springer meet @ Sula vineyard, his singing talent was discovered. Convey my deepest condolences to his bereaved family. Dr. Poornima Narayana, Fulbright Scholar Ex Head, Information Centre @ CSIR NAL On Mon, May 28, 2018, 8:46 AM wrote: person, he

made LIS his cosy and engaging professional home giving it a touch of scholarship. A new annual seminar series, he launched and led three years ago along with Anil Kumar (IIM-A) is a very different and innovative model to remember and continue after him. I worked with him closely when Informatics had launched Infovision 2005, an annual event then.

We miss him. We pray for his soul to rest in peace.
