Dear All, Here's an email posted by Shri Prakash to Corporate Librarians Group: _________________________________________ It is better to work under one group, instead of having so many groups of same profession.Since, most of the same members are appearing in so many groups.So, according to me, all the professional group should come under one umbrella.We can share our ideas and professional opportunities and difficulties with one another. We should encourage more and more professionals, to join this group. At least one member should invite one professional. Kindly share your view, regarding the unification of Librarians group. With regards Prakash Gouda Dy. Librarian FORE SCHOOL OF MANAGEMENT B-18, QUTAB. INSTT. AREA NEW DELHI-110016 __________________________________________ How about using LIS-FORUM as the single communication point by all Indian LIS professionals: teachers as well as practising library professionals. LIS-FORUM has excellent institutional base and good service track record. Perhaps, it has the largest number of subscribers among all Indian LIS email lists. Let's avoid posting same messages to multiple lists. Its sheer wastage of time and Internet bandwidth. These are some of the issues which we need to think about: How can we improve the quality of postings? How to increase participation of all Indian LIS professionals? Is it not high time to provide to the Indian general public/foreign correspondents a single communication point from where they can address Indian LIS profession. We subscribe to multiple lists with a hope to receive new content but not just repetition of the same message. Thank you Sincerely T.V.
