LIS Links: A Time to Change from 2.0 to 3.0

LIS Links was started in the year 2008. During our journey of more than 5 years, there where hardships as well. There where time, when we have left with no option but to forced our members to pay for the site (this was the major mistake I have ever done over LIS Links, and it last for one month). Then, for next one year we used to collect the site's running cost through Voluntary Donation. We still remember the kind help of

Existing Advertisers: Academic Book Centre : Supplier and Retail Saler, DVS Publishers, Eastern Book House (EBH) Publishers.
Existing Donors: Ansari Khadeeja Mohammad Nizam (Rs.500), Arvind Kant Singh (Rs.125), David Jason Rodgers, Dharitri Mallik (Rs. 2000), Gowri Ravindranath (Rs.1025), Harpreet Kaur, Humayoon Kabir S., Inderjit Kaur, Kamaljeet Kaur (Rs.2025), Khalid Bilal Pasha (Rs.1525), Maya Moyee Narzary (Rs.600), Mohammad Ahmad, Parvez Ahmad (Rs. 600), Pooja Shukla (Rs.125), Prashant Kumashi, Preeti Yadav, Ram Kumar Pathak, Sanjay Garg, Sapna Maitra, Shradha Shukla (Rs.125), Sukhvinder Kaur, Surjeet Kumar (Rs.600), Suthanthira Devi (Rs.1025), Syed Abdal Khan (Rs.600), Tarvinder Singh Handa, Umashankar G, Vijay Singh (Rs.500).

Now again it is a time for a big shift, but dont worry, neither we are going to ask for membership fees nor for voluntary donation. We are at the safe hands of our Google Adwords advertisers. :-)

Now the point of my discussion is - the LIS Links is built over Ning 2.0, and it will soon be hosted over Ning 3.0. Obviously we have to pay a much much higher price, but we should imagine the future of internet, blogging and much beyond. The new platform will have unique design, better blogging facilities, better commenting facilities, better photo galleries, better control over your own post, message and others, and much more. We will be ready to the LIS Links 3.0 by the mid of 2014.

Dear Badan Sir,

                      First of all ,we lislink members thank you for your dedicated and responsible effort, who collated us to this wondering knowledgeable ning site. I remember when this ning site was free and then the payment options came, I can imagine, how tough it was for you to manage it. As this ning site grew and changed in size, stature, and mission, the patron base grew and changed as well. The evolving methods of research and information access have reflected those changes.Yes, I agree change is an inevitable part of the society and each individual handles change differently. The struggle to adjust to the rapid technological change has increased in the society, especially those working as the information officers in the libraries. 

I thank and appreciate Badan Sir / da for the change, he put to this online library environment.

If, i will be any sort of help in your journey of change, do please let me know, I will be very thankful to you..

Your,

AJIT P.

Appreciate your feedback and insight. LIS Links is a community effort. It would be inappropriate for me to take a credit of it.

As a creator, I will definitely need help from everyone, I will let all of know in due course of time.

I whole heartedly appreciate your magnanimity and humility in sharing the credit for lislinks with the community as a whole.

LIS is really blessed with a true visionary like you. We are lucky to have you in our profession. Your efforts have helped provide LIS professionals a platform that they were badly in need of.  Your efforts will go a long way in nurturing and fostering the professionals and the profession.

Hats off to you for the wonderful effort.  Let the good work keep going.  My best wishes to you and your endeavour.

 

P.S - This is on behalf of all my fellow professionals.
