[Siddhartha Shankar Ray]

Dear Sri Gunaratna Yerekar,

Thanks for your post. It gave me yet another opportunity for a journey down memory lane

some three decades ago when I too had been quite anxious for my interview to an ICMR Institute!!

Well, regarding the proposed interview, please be prepared with questions about the sources of medical Information relating to public health, communicable diseases. Earlier the two journals Bulletin of Hygiene and Tropical Disease Bulletin used to carry abstracts of articles. Please explore about their latest avatars .

Next one which is highly expected is your familiarity with handling of Research Information in cyber media. Be prepared for a question on latest dengue episodes in Delhi and Mumbai. Learn about the name of the virus A. Egyptei

Besides, questions on general library service, especially digital library, open source softwares and institutional repositories are quite expected. You may consult their website and scan through their Annual report and especially the Library & Research portion.

These are all in a nutshell as i believe.

Good Luck> Siddhartha S. Ray, Calcutta
