Future of LIS Links site : some thought
Most members of “LIS Links” may have questions related to the continuity of “LIS Links” site. Let me clear your doubt with little insight into the facts and figures.
The LIS Links site currently have more than 4,000 members, its total subscribers is 6500+. Besides these, the site monthly receives 13,547 Absolute Unique Visitors, 128,192 Pageviews with 00:05:47 Time on Site. This is the statistics related to only the parent site, if we count the statistics of all sites, it will be quite a big number!
In terms of finance also, the LIS Links is in a much better position. I hope we will be able to meet the need of the site quite effectively and enhance its functionality with our saved amount. I hope to publish all details in the end of December, 2010. For the time being, we are generating funds through the following options
a) Membership: More info at: http://lislinks.com/page/paid-membership .
b) Donation: More info at: http://lislinks.com/page/voluntary-donation . Existing donor’s members list available at: http://lislinks.com/group/lislinks/forum/topics/lis-links-donors

To lower our cost towards hosting service and bandwidth, we are imposing some restriction towards uploading of image by the members. Further, periodically we are throwing out some outdated and low used contents from the site. So, to avoid the loss of your data and information I request you to kindly keep a backup of all your contributions towards the “LIS Links” site especially if you are contributing towards photo, blog, and event.

Dear Barmanji,
In my opinion this is the only site for library professionals. It helps in the development of the personality of librarian as well as gives opportunity to share their ideas. I think every member of the site want to contribute. So there is no problem of finance, we are with you at each and every front.

Dear Pandey,
I think we will not face any problem with finance. The need of the hour is to maintain the quality of the information available over the site.

Dear Barman Ji,
Now a days this is the single social networking site for all of us which can provide answers of our queries. You can charge very nominal fee from every register member of this site. But keep mind that few members are student who can't afford right now.

Dear Sarita,
The LIS Links is rich by your contribution of quite a good number of job vacancies. Please also be with us in the days to come.
For your kind information I just want to inform you that in terms of membership fees, we are not imposting anything to anyone. We will try our best to work as a fee site for everyone. However, we just seeking a voluntary membership of Rs. 325/- for 5 years (Rs 65/- per year). I think it is not a big amount for anyone. Even if members will not pay its ok, but in such cases we have to display the commercial advertisement to meet the running cost of the site. :-)
