Madras Library Association (MALA) - The missing option!

Dear Friends and creators of this innovative and interactive platform of connectivity for library professionals, after a long while today I logged on to my profile on LIS Links. I thought I would edit and update my previously created profile. As I was filling out the details one by one, I reached an entry point asking me to specify my membership with other library associations. I was surprised to see only a few entries and no option to add a new association. I was all the more disappointed to find that the mother of all Library Associations - Madras Library Association (MALA) brainchild of the father of Library Science in India Dr. S. R Ranganathan was not one among the options.

I wish to bring it to the notice of the developers that the Associations column should not be restricted to a few options. To be a part/member of any number of associations is a privilege and as professionals it also enhances one's CV. Associations are built to enhance the profession and being an active member serves to achieve great heights in the professional environment.

It is my request that the developers of this social platform take note and allow adding more than one professional body to their Profile.

Dear Fazlunnisa, thanks for raising the issue.

Presently, we only included the national level library organisation, however if our members are interested we can have the state and local level organisations. I will try to include both within a day.

Thanks for your feedback.

Thank you! I appreciate your initiative! I wish if you could keep it open... so a lot more organisations/ Associations can be added so as other professionals also get to know the existence of the various library associations be it local, national or international.
