Dear Professional Friends, ‘If a hermit lives in a state of ecstasy, his lack of comfort becomes the height of comfort. He must relinquish it’ says Jean Cocteau. I recalled this when I read the letter from Dr. K.N. Prasad, the man who joined the stalwarts of LIS and made our profession visible, honourable and respectable. Dr. KNP known for his firm decision, straight forwardness, and simplicity, of-course known for his smile and moustache too, is not so old to relinquish from his honorary services to LIS in general, and Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science (SRELS), in particular. Respecting Dr. KNP’s decision, we wish all success for his future endeavours and happy time. We expect your guidance and ‘strong’ directions for our professional growth and to support the associations / organizations with which we are associated.

Dear Professionals, The Lis-forum posting of Dr. K.N. Prasad mentioning that he is relinquishing from the services of Sarada Ranganathan Endowment for Library Science (SRELS), Bengaluru w.e.f. 30th April 2016 worries all LIS professionals. His association with SRELS, particularly the contributions in successfully running one of the very few (5-6) high quality Indian peer reviewed journals dedicated to LIS, "SRELS Journal of Information Management" are the ones all the professionals should remember. Just now I had detailed discussion with Dr. Prasad, he is very firm in his decision, owing to lot of personal commitments, although he loves SRELS, with which he has grown for the last 43 years. Although the production aspects of this journal is taken by Informatics, we need equally strong and competent scholar to run the show. Yes, SRELS Endowment has other alternative and I am sure this responsibility will be taken care. Thank you Dr. Prasad, LIS Profession acknowledges your contributions. Please be advising us, especially scholarly communicating youngsters. Regards, "Access E-Resources for Academic and Research Excellence" *- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -* Dr. I.R.N.

It is a mixed feeling for me to read Dr Prasad's message of relinquishing his office. To me, Dr Prasad is an unsung hero. Many of his contributions largely went unnoticed in the profession. Working with legendaries like Prof. Gopinath, Prof. Neelameghan, Prof. Seetharama, Prof. Parthasarathy, and the host of others, Dr Prasad has become a legendary himself. I have had a good opportunity to interact and work with him many times. He is jovial in his interactions but very strict and meticulous in his actions. He is a tireless enthusiastic professional worth emulating. He has been helpful to many. He has a special corner for the students and Ph.D. scholars. He has helped and encouraged many of them by guiding them to publish their research work. It is not disparaging to others if I say Dr Prasad is one of the persons who has made SRELS what it is today. After a very long innings in the profession, he is getting much-deserved rest for himself and his family. I wish him a long and healthy life. There appears to be a lull at SRELS at present. I am sure SRELS would have already taken steps to march ahead for taking its glory to further heights that Dr Prasad would have shown them. With regards, N.S.
