THANKS MALA JI

Dear Bhati, Kindly dont take it otherwise. As a Library and Information Science professionals I think we should know what is a Library, who is Ranganathan? All these comes under basic knowledge of the subject. It may be possible that even a few LIS professionals dont know who is Ranganathan, ISBN, ISSN, etc etc. In such cases they should search over Internet, in libraries and should gather some knowledge about it before asking it to someone else.

Why I am saying so? As because if you dont have a knowledge about these frequently appeared words/concept then you dont have the right to be here in this profession.

I remember that you posted this discussion several times, and I deleted it every time, but this time I thought of approving it so that I can scold you. :-)

When I become rough to someone, people used to say, LIS Links was developed by him, so he can say anything......bla bla bla.. even such a few members left the site and deleted their account but it will rather destroy them. I am not trying to defend myself here but the point is,  we have some minimum expectation from each and every member and when they unable to meet that minimum standard, we used to be angry.

I am not going to answer your queries but I hope you will search for it and will collect the answer yourself. :-)

Very nice suggestion:

It is a discussion forum. It is requested that no member post such type of questions.

thanks
