Dear Sir/Madam, Very sad to hear the sudden and untimely demise of Dr. H. Anil Kumar, Librarin IIM-A. He was very passionate about the profession and very sane voice in LIS. I was fortune to witness his lectures in few occasions in scholarly meetings. He had keen observations of the field and unlike others in the profession he was very much aware of the importance of physical space and print documents. He was trying to bridge the path of coexistence of both print and digital materials. This was very much evident through his lectures and presentations. Very recently I had attended one of the webinars where he was a panellist. He shared very interesting information and facts on library automation and Koha ILMS implementations in Indian context. Dr. Anil Kumar has also published a lot of good research papers in LIS. Interesting fact is that he was exploring the law/legal librarianship which is not much discussed or researched in India. His untimely demise is a great loss to LIS profession. My heartfelt condolences.  Vasantha Raju N. Librarian Mysore
