Let's Hear Ranganathan - Friday Talk activity at DLIS, Mysore S.R. Ranganathan is undoubtedly an undisputed champion of Indian librarianship. His seminal contributions, particularly in the field of library classification, have attracted the attention of the best in the world. Melvil Dewey and Ranganathan, the two giants in the field of Library Classification, never met face to face. But Ranganathan, on few occasions, has communicated with Dewey. Ranganathan�s talk in 1964 on his interactions with Dewey has been recorded at University of Toronto and digitized by William Denton (available at http://www.miskatonic.org/library/ranganathan-audio.html). We came to know about this in one of the postings in LIS-FORUM. With a view to inspire students, the Department of Library and Information Science (DLIS), University of Mysore, Mysore had organized the local broadcasting of the audio file on the Friday, January 13, 2006. As some part of the audio is not clear, the transcription of the same was also simultaneously displayed using a multimedia projector. In the opinion of the students, they were trilled to hear Ranganathan in absentia. More than 45 students and a few faculty members attended the event. This event was organized by Mysore University Library and Information Science Students Association (MULISSA). Dr. Mallinath Kumbar, Chairman, Department of Library and Information Science, University of Mysore, Mysore in his introductory remarks outlined the major contributions of Ranganathan to Library and Information Science in general and library classification in particular. -- N.S.Harinarayana Ph.D Department of Library and Information Science University of Mysore Manasagangotri, Mysore 570 006 Ph: 2419393 -- N.S.Harinarayana Ph.D Department of Library and Information Science University of Mysore Manasagangotri, Mysore 570 006 Ph: 2419393 !DSPAM:43cf2b46148781804284693!
