About Me
I am Mallikarjun Dora, presently working at Vikram Sarabhai Library, Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad as Professional Assistant.Here i am working in Database and ILL section , earlier i was in periodical section, apart from this also involved in repository development with Dspace software.
Prior to this i was in Indian Institute of Management, Kozhikode as an internee, I can say i was lucky to in IIMK library to start up my career. Most of the new technologies and trends are in our library filed i learned from there, its provide me alot of confidence and a solid foundation to build up my career. There i had participated in two workshop one is on Dspace Institutional Repository Software and International Workshop on Greenstone Digital Library software. IIMK library is not only a place to learn but a place where you have freedom to do experiment. Another best thing of IIMK is its surrounded with natural beauty , its situated in the top of the hill in rainy time you fell that you are near to the heaven and flowing with the clouds After all Kerala is the God’s own country.
Studying in Sambalpur University is one of my best time in my whole educational career. The University is surrounded by small hilly area out from the city pollution, quiet and peaceful place. Our department has its own beauty mixing with faculty of two generation (Technology and Theory). In my short span of career i have seen a good number of Library Science department all over India, from my observation i can say it is one of the best department in India.
