[PW] Famous Librarian Question

[Sue Kamm]

I am assuming, and violating Francis Gates's First Law of Law Librarianship, "Assume nothing!" that you have checked LISA and Library Literature.  

I've run a quick check of Worldcat, and there may be more than one person named Ajit Kumar Mukherjee.  There are hits for him (her?) as a scientist and librarian.  

Searching WorldCat under LIBRARIANS--INDIA--BIOGRAPHY results in several hits for S.R. Ranganathan, and some general biographic information.  You might want to contact the libraries who hold this title:

Men of library science & libraries in India.
Type: Serials / Magazines / Newspapers 
Language: English 
Publisher: New Delhi, Premier Publishers. 
ISSN: 0377-1342 
OCLC: 2242996 

>From the entry in WorldCat, among the libraries who hold the title are Duke, the University of North Carolina, and LC.

HTH!
