Before going to this seminar i was not aware of Koha and D space. The day seminar started from that particular day i started to think like a librarian and I raised my doubts which are solved simultaneously. Two things that i understood from this seminar were as -
1. Koha is for those librarians who not only wanna develop their libraries but also wanna develop their technical skills and make them free from parasitism of closed source software or proprietary software.
2. I thought I can learn koha fully in those three days of seminar but I forgot that learning is like eating. It doesn't matter how much you eat what matter is how much you digest. I tried to take as much as I can but I still have to bridge the gap which I was not able to clear it then. For that I will be in touch with Mr.Sudhir Gandotra his technical team. I know Sudhir sir doesn't like himself to be praised by anyone. He is such a humble and noble person who not only motivate us but also teach us that as a responsible citizen if we are using the resource of the society later on its our moral and ethical duty to give back to the society in any manner which is for the welfare for the society....
At last I wanna say thanks to Rajesh sir and his team for organizing such a wonderful seminar.....
Sudhir Gandotra
