LIS Links: A Time to Change from 2.0 to 3.0

[Dr. Badan Barman]

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,

As i am also a LIS professional, i just love to see the change from 2.0 to 3.0. But it is better if you make it like facebook, whatsapp or ebuddy pattern. And where all the Association of library professionals are linked directly or indirectly and can exchange there views and thoughts about the field.

I strongly believe we librarian's need to think about our field and its for our betterment.

It is not just a forum or link where people can get information about job, seminar, conference etc.

Rather we need to make it a one destination for complete solution for "LIS PROFESSIONAL'S ".

Let me know how can i help you.

I will try my best in every aspect.

With Regards,

Chittojit Bhattacharya
