Sad to hear about the sudden death of Hildrun Kretschmer a well known information scientist of our times. COLLNET is a great initiative and I am proud to be associated with it on the advice of my PhD supervisor Prof K S Raghavan. Dr Kretschmer was my external research examiner and her in-depth analysis and report helped me a lot. The LIS fraternity had lost a good library professional and a good human being who appreciates the LIS work done in our country. May her soul rest in peace.

 Sir, deeply saddened to know about demise of Dr.Hildun Kretschmer.. I had an opportunity to meet her (as a couple) during CALIBER-2004, at JMI New Delhi along with our greatest LIS professional Late.Dr.VS Cholin sir. She was so passionate about our Country, INFLIBNET Centre, Collnet, etc and liked visiting again and again. A kind lady and inspired a lot about the service towards the Library patrons. Heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, colleagues n associates. Pray the almighty to make her humble soul to rest with his eternal peace. Om Shanti/Amen Puttaraj A Choukimath

Dear colleagues,

Just received from bernd.markscheffel@tu-ilmenau.de:

"It is with deep sorrow that I announce the passing of a beloved friend, esteemed colleague, and brilliant scientist, Hildrun Kretschmer, who left us this night.

Hildrun was more than a luminary in their field; they were a source of inspiration, compassion, and unwavering support to everyone fortunate enough to know them. Their groundbreaking work in Information Science not only advanced human understanding but also exemplified their relentless curiosity, intellect, and dedication to the pursuit of knowledge.

As a friend and colleague, Hildrun brought warmth, insight, and encouragement to every interaction. We are heartbroken to lose such a remarkable individual, but we are grateful for the time we had with them and the indelible impact they made on our lives and the world. Hildrun will be deeply missed but never forgotten. To know Hildrun was to witness a rare combination of warmth and brilliance—a person who inspired, supported, and uplifted everyone they encountered.

Rest in peace, dear friend"
