The publishing industry is one of the most important stakeholders of the Education Sector, especially in running any library or information centers. The ‘Help-LIS Mission’ considers it essential to appeal to the publishing fraternity to join hands with the Mission of helping the LIS professionals who have severely been affected by COVID-19. 

​

The second wave of Covid-19 is taking away the lives of many LIS professionals globally, and India is not an exception to it. A significant number of LIS professionals are struggling for their survival. While the families of those working in government and well-established institutions are adequately compensated/supported, those in private establishments receive meagre or no support at all.

​

We request the publishing industry to come together and exhibit their continued solidarity to the LIS community.

 

The partnering Publishing Firms are very humbly requested to:

 

• Register and donate to the ‘Help-LIS Mission’ so that the Mission can assist the affected LIS professionals and their families. 

• Promote donation movement and encourage publishers/vendors to donate to the cause; and,

• Extend any other support the publishers/vendors deem fit.
