<p>Dear A C,</p>
<p>Thank you for your suggestion. I think the expert or doubt clearing is really a good idea. The event cannot be organized with the registration fees alone. Every time we have to depend on some grant from RRRLF, National Library, ICSSR, UGC or such bodies.</p>

<p><strong>Why don’t LisLink as a brand organize annual/ semi annual unconferences/conferences/Workshops on LIS fields burning themes with an appropriate membership fee in various prominent cities?</strong></p>
<p>Experts from LIS Teaching, Research and Library fields will clarify the doubts.</p>

<p><strong>Why don’t LisLink as a brand organize annual/ semi annual unconferences/conferences/Workshops on LIS fields burning themes with an appropriate membership fee in various prominent cities?</strong></p>
<p>Experts from LIS Teaching, Research and Library fields will clarify the doubts.</p>
<p>Doubts can be even from how to run a library without software ? to How to build a federated retrieval system?</p>
<p>For a good cause I think the experts from our fields will never charge any fee; since LisLinks is also free of cost and it is a way to support and stretch our discipline.</p>
<p><strong>Why don’t with the experts solutions (Relevant questions and answers ) LisLink as a publisher release some books?</strong></p>
<p>Like how the service works, technology implemented…etc.</p>
<p>LisLink as a medium does not need any tips for the content compilation strategy and policy. My words are here because you are there in the back-end of it Server, Sir, Salutes…</p>
<p><strong>Experts Assistance Provision:</strong></p>
<p>With this much contacts, it will be easy for LisLinks to create an expert panel on softwares, who are ready to tackle on the spot solutions free of cost (Yes, with TA/DA). If any software crashes, the concerned Library will contact LisLinks with a minimum contact assistance fee, and lis links will arrange further assistance from the local area contacts. Here the TA/DA should be the responsibility of Library. I think any library at such moment will agree for that, anyway it is for the survival of LisLinks and thus for our group.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Note: This is just some ideas to consider. I think, the proper way to get a solution is to define the problem with all related terms and collect all nearby solutions as far as possible. At this stage we need to grab whatever coming from any person, here the quantity matters. Then sort it out by according to the feasibility and suitability.</p>
<p></p>
<p>For a better world</p>

<p>Dear Sarvesh,</p>
<p>As per my knowledge goes, LIS Links is the no. 1 destination for LIS professionals in India. It is the second, next to INFLIBNET website in its web rank. Here kindly note that LIS Links is mainly used by LIS professionals, however INFLIBNET's NLIST, Pathsala, Shodhganga are used by all staff and faculty members of the institute including librarians. So, I think, if you count only traffic from LIS Professionals, LIS Links may come at the first position.</p>

<p>I dont know, you have noticed it or not, in our past we put commercial ads in Google Adword and Facebook. If you will go through our likes or members and compare it with others, you can see the difference.</p>
<p>The CPC=Cost per Click or RPM=Rate Per Mile for Indian traffic is quite low, otherwise we would not have any problem. So, traffic is not the problem, the problem is with the Indian market. I am sure, it will improve day by day.</p> Dear Thaper,

<p>Dear Thaper,</p>
<p>In response to your point number 2, I would like to supplement a few things. If it is implemented, LIS Links paid members would get some extra feature that would not be available for general members. Like SMS alert, newsletter, etc. You can see our digest that are periodically released without any delay at <a href="http://lisnews.lislinks.com" target="_blank">http://lisnews.lislinks.com</a></p>
<p>Point 3 and 4 is not feasible for us.</p>

<p>Dear Mr. Badan,</p>
<p>In view of light of all the above proposals & suggestions, I want to sum up the following points which seem rational in my opinion-</p>
<p>1.

<p>Dear Mr. Badan,</p>
<p>In view of light of all the above proposals & suggestions, I want to sum up the following points which seem rational in my opinion-</p>
<p>1. Your plan of paid event posting is fully justified bcoz the organizers of various events (viz. seminars, conferences, training programmes etc.) are mainly sponsored by educational institutions or different associations/networking organizations like DELNET/INFLIBNET etc. and they, themselves, charge a handsome amount towards participation fee, lodging, sight-seeing etc. So, if you claim a minor fraction of their funds by advertizing for their events, there is no harm in it.</p>
<p>2. Suggestion put forth by Mr. Munesh for paid membership, is also not bad. But his point that people will take membership for sake of certificate and finding it worth mentioning in their resume that they are members of LISLINKS does not appeal to me personally. I want to bring it to your kind notice that I took membership of ILA for one particular year, but within a span of one full year, not even a single leaflet/pamphlet/brochure/any other publication pertaining to information of their activities came to me as member. It is very pathetic. So, when a national level association does not provide any service to their paid membership, why people will go for paid membership of LISLINKS, only for mentioning it in their RESUME.</p>
<p>But, a nominal annual or lifetime membership fee can be justified for providing so much info on jobs and other activities in the field of library and information sciences.</p>
<p>3. I would like to suggest you that you should contact some self-aided/private colleges and universities which have stream/deptt. of LIBRARY & INFORMATION SCIENCE and try to grab advertisements from them. This way, members enrolled on LISLINKS can keep themselves informed of, which universities are offering which courses in library & information science field and can inform their kins & friends desirous of making career in this field. They themselves can enrol for further higher degrees in this field.</p>
<p>4. Dear Sir, now admission season is going to begin in the month of June for technical courses viz. engineering, management courses, medical courses; you can also have an opportunity for generating revenue from advertisements of various colleges/universities running various technical courses. I know this would be seasonal business, but if you succeed in having advertisements of 4-5 private colleges/universities for 3 months of admissions (June to August) a handsome amount can be collected.</p> Thanks.
