Dear Aziz,
The sole purpose of this is to refer our professionals friends to the trustworthy and interested blogs in the subject. This is not our new initiative but I am only giving a new paint to our old collections. Here is our old collection (http://www.oajse.com/LIS_Directory/index.html). I am trying to re-build it.

Dear Aziz,

This matter was raised several times over LIS Links. Here is my opinion in brief

1. It is not easy to establish and nurture one association. If I or anyone can do something by establishing a new association, then he/she can also do the same thing by becoming officer bearer of existing library association/ organizations.

2. It is very much difficult to work in group especially when your senior dont have any idea over your opinion, they dont understand you, they dont know what you are facing, what you are planning and they dont like to know. You can only do things when majority of the member and office bearer agree on it but sometimes majority does not mean  all.

3. I am very much happy as all my works are influencing the library and information science, but they were heavily criticized during their launching time. Now all my sites/services are mostly used sites/service in their domain. I could not be able to do that if I were to work as a member of any association.

Dear Dr. Barman,

Thanks for your comments which is bitter yet true. But as I understand, just being senior does not count always. It requires something  extra too!!

And there are two broad groups:

One those have it and the other those don't have!!

Ironically, today's Seniors were juniors earlier and if the activities of associations ever felt distasteful in young age, many of them remained abstain from being actively connected with Associations. In my professional life I have observed several people who were apprehensive of association activities. Some, however, were rather shy/indifferent or what may also be called as escapists as they preferred to remain in their own world with their own interests and activities!!

The young generations are no saints either. A good number of them wants to be tagged with associations to utilize their active participation in Association activities to their enhance their career prospects. All they want & try are  to get noticed by the  Seniors who matters means who usually become experts in various interviews so that they can land with a good job with such connections!! As such, it is a complex network comprising both young and old people!!

However your statement about the Seniors' apprehension to accommodate new age ideas is a bare fact. Since many among us (including me!!) are not well accustomed  with advanced IT related activities, (as many among us never studied it nor wanted/tried to study it) we often put pressure to  withheld such activities especially those who are unfortunately short sighted .

But jokes apart, it is really quite irritating.

This is as the proverb goes Dog in the Manger policy!!

But I am sure that if one is genuinely interested, s/he will certainly break free of all such shackles and will initiate to start a new era in our profession.

I, from my own behalf, salute those who  are tirelessly engaged to enhance the image and activities of our profession.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
