I congratulate Sunil and his colleagues in Mylisa for the Book Talks nitiative. I think that apart from Book Talks to librarians, I think there is need to expose students in schools, colleges and other academic libraries to such talks especially off books bought by the library at great cost. This might interest students to take to reading good books. Haravu On Sun, Nov 15, 2015 at 11:41 PM, Vasumathi Sriganesh (QMed) < vasu@qmedkf.org.in> wrote:

I echo Dr Usha Mukunda's words - "I wish I could be in Mysore"! What a wonderful idea. I think all cities and towns should take up this idea - if not monthly, at least once a quarter

All the best Dr Sunil!

Dear Professional Friends,

National Library Week 2015 is Underway!

MyLISA, Mysuru wishes everyone a wonderful NLW 2015!

The Mysore Librarians and Information Scientists’ Association, fondly called MyLISA, has come out with an idea of launching a monthly series called ‘Book Talk in Library Science’ as a part of ensuing National Library Week.

Normally, the ‘book talk’ is offered as a service in libraries for the benefit of their users, and not intended to hep the LIS professionals. However, in this case, a professional association is taking the lead to organize the talk exclusively for LIS professionals and students. A speaker will talk about a book in library and information science for a half an hour and that will be followed by an interaction. Speakers can choose any book in LIS for the talk, but textbook-like books will be discouraged from being the subject of the talk. The language of the talk will either be in English or the local language Kannada, depending again on the preference of the speaker.

The starter of the series will be held on Wednesday, the 18th November 2015 at 4 PM. Dr. N.S. Harinarayana, Associate Professor, Department of Library and Information Science, University of Mysore, Mysore will be the speaker on the book “Ramanjuan: The Man and the Mathematician” authored by Dr. S.R. Ranganathan.

Dr. Muzaffar H. Assadi, Professor and Chairman, Department of Political Science, University of Mysore, Mysore, will be present on the occasion as the Chief Guest. The inaugural of the series will be held at Manasa Hall, Mysore University Building, Manasagangotri, Mysore.

All are cordially invited.

We welcome your suggestions and views on this initiative.

​With Regards,

Dr. Sunil M.V.
