I am very grieved to hear of the untimely demise of Prof. M A Gopinath. The profession has truly lost a stalwart. My association with him goes back to over 30 years, when I visited DRTC as an M Lib Sc student, to consult some documents not available elsewhere. I recall with gratitude his full and unstinting co-operation. Later he came to the Dept of Lib.Sc at the SNDT Women's University as a visiting faculty and distinguished himself by his superior knowledge, communication skill and sense of humour. May his soul rest in peace. Dr Ms Perin Marolia On Mon, Feb 11, 2013 at 11:16 AM, SARADA RANGANATHAN ENDOWMENT FOR LIBRARY SCIENCE wrote:
