Dear Professional Friends, It is very sad to hear the demise of death of Shri Haravu. I had an opportunity to meet him and listen to some of his lecture, when I was a Librarian at University of Mysore and he demonstrated NewGenlib Software at University of Mysore. I pray got to rest his soul in peace and give courage to his family and friends to bear the loss.

He was consultant for DESIDOC, INFLIBNET, FAO, IDRC, ILRI, etc. He served as a head of the Library and Documentation services at the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) , Hyderabad. He has developed utilities for use with Unesco’s Micro CDS/ISIS, Delphi-ISIS, SDI services. He was IASLIC Librarian of the year 1994.

I met him at ICRISAT as student of BLIS in 1991, he inspired us with lot of enthusiasm on current practices in Library Automation, Databases, Services, Future Trends, etc. and opportunities to work in LIS field. Till last year he was frequently visiting KSOU Library with his Engineer friend. I pray god almighty to rest his soul in peace and give strength to bear this great loss to his family.
