From: Subbiah Arunachalam <arun@mssrf.res.in> Already Sathya and Vyasamoorthy have rightly pointed out that the Gandhinagar library IS NOT THE FIRST to computerise. A simple verification of facts was all that was needed. But then who cares for facts at a time when what matters is one has to SOMEHOW be seen as the first, truth be damned. But why this fetish about being first. All we want is libraries should serve the local communities in the best possible manner. They are not running a race competing with each other. All of them want to serve their clientele and we should hel them do that. Is there anything more we can ask for?
