"Communication is a process of response to a stimuli on the flat form of culture. " For communication Physical i.e. the Sound body is important secondly the expression and Thirdly acceptation. If intake is good means outtake will be good. There is stimuli everywhere but one should response. Every one's will power is some where one should realize and the will power should realize and the will power should not wasted in judging, but by learning, by understanding etc. EQ matters everywhere. And with an example of, A rich boy and poor boy who were his student 3-4 years ago and their problem and success story of them to Librarians communication is first because they are people to solve or to give the solution and not creating problem by more communication. He must be good at English because Librarians First nature is Enquiry, Second nature is confirmation and Third is Service. Librarians will be there until education is and Books are Source of Information, Travelling is Confirmation. "Fishes in River never get Thirsty". Thus one should identify his strength and weakness in communication and there by to overcome from it reading, learning and better hard work.

"Professional Ethics" by Dr. Shanmukha

An important lecture on “Professional ethics” was organised by MULISSA on March 14, 2008. The speaker was Dr. Shanmukha from Department of Education, Karnataka State Open University (KSOU), Mysore. Drawing from his wide experience in the field of education, Dr. Shanmukha said that there is a subtle difference between a job and a profession. He opined that a profession is skill oriented and requires more knowledge and commitment. Though both job and profession could earn livelihood for people, a profession is more service oriented and calls for intellectual calibre. Referring the courses in library and information sciences as a professional course, the speaker said such kind of courses emphasise on acquiring of skills required to carry out the professional responsibilities. He drew parallels from Medicine, Engineering, Education and Law to push his argument why Library and Information Science is also treated as a professional subject. He provided a number of examples from his personal life to show that how service is the motto of libraries. A person who works for a profession should abide by some of the “written” and “unwritten” code of ethics. He said the accepted behaviour with service orientations is the basis for all code of ethics. Code of ethics is self imposed, self regulated, self growing behaviour. He said professional ethics protects a profession in a long run.
