From: Shalini Urs Congratulations to the Team that has kept the LIS Forum alive and kicking! Special thanks to Francis for his efforts in this direction. Keep it up
Francis! Anand : Very nice of you to have remembered and paid tribute to your mentor
-- Dr.T.B. Rajashekar. These days no body remembers the past especially
their mentors! Historical Amnesia a disease of the present times! Perhaps this give us an opportunity to say our encomiums to our departed
friend Raju and his pioneering efforts in the field of LIS. Personally for me as well, the silver jubilee of LIS Forum is a
commemoration of a shared journey filled with nostalgia. I was also perhaps
one of the early subscribers to LIS Forum. Raju shared the news of
launching the forum and asking me to join. I have been part of this Forum
since 1995. I remember getting some of my students of LIS at University of Mysore to
conduct some studies based on LIS-Forum. Hurrah to the team! Long Live LIS-Forum! Shalini On Tue, Jun 4, 2019 at 10:27 PM Sathyanarayana NV <

25 years of long sustained journey of LIS-Forum is an amazing success.
The team and Francis in particular, deserve a big applause for the
stupendous and voluntary task of running this Forum.
It is the most popular medium today for LIS profession to exchange news
and views.
Long live LIS-Forum, and long-live the memory of Late Rajashekhar, the
brain behind this Forum. May be, it is also time to reimagine and re-model this forum to a
full-blown social networking medium for the Group. N. V. Sathyanarayana
Informatics India Ltd, Bangalore On Mon, Jun 3, 2019 at 3:34 PM Ananda Byrappa Dear LIS friends, Greetings from IISc Library team!. It’s our pleasure to let you all know that, your lis-forum is into its
Silver Jubilee Year. As many of you are aware, LIS-forum was conceived and implemented by
Late
Dr. TB Rajashekar and his team at NCSI, IISc in the year 1995 with
financial support from NISSAT, DSIR, Govt. of India. Entire NCSI team
had
worked on this to ensure its success through creation of awareness and
penetration of the forum among LIS-community across the nation. The
roots
went so deep and became stronger as a result today we see the Forum as
one
of the most popular, credible and reliable text based discussion forum
for
the LIS community in India and the forum has many subscribers from
outside
India too. Personally, I was fortunate to see the beginnings of LIS-Forum as I
was a
trainee at NCSI. The forum has played a key in my professional learning
and
growth - particularly to know accomplished professionals and their
views
on
various topics. I always cherished reading emails from experts. I have
read
some experts emails multiple times...as they were informative and
insightful... Thank you for being part of the forum, choosing it as your platform for
communication. You, your association with the forum and your
communications
on the forum made it what it is today. Entire LIS-community has
benefited
from it. Looking forward to your continued support to retain the Forum
as
a preferred communication channel. Sustenance of LIS-forum for 25 years was not an easy task. Sad demise
of
Dr.TB Rajashekar and closure/merger of NCSI made it really difficult.
However, Dr. Francis Jayakanth, JRD Tata Memorial Library, is the one
who
stood behind this and ensured that it worked for us flawlessly and
made
it
always available for our LIS- community. He did this job even when he
was
on Lien for 2 years . Dr. Francis Upgraded the software recently and we
are
currently hosting it on a new server at the IISc. Library. Dr. Francis, we can’t thank you enough for your professional commitment
and
ownership to the forum....we owe you a lot....we wish you will have
courage
and commitment to extend support. In today’s social media driven world, text based discussion forums may
look
dry and dull. However, for serious, clean and clear communications text
based forums are still preferred - world over. And LIS-forum is one of
its
kind. That doesn’t mean that we don’t look forward to upgrade it to
next
level - please share your thoughts briefly and will see if we all can
work
together on them..... Best Regards,
Anand. Anand Byrappa Ph.D.
