Now more than ever, thanks to capabilities made available by the web and internet, libraries are making materials available to patrons on an almost immediate basis provided those patrons have internet access. Many journal articles are now made available online by libraries, provided patrons have the right entry id or password, these articles can now be accessed without any need to go to a physical library.

The present Festschrift volume is a humble presentation to Dr. Madan Kumar Stanley by his professional colleagues and friends to mark his professional valuable contributions and service to the library and information science community, especially to agricultural librarianship even after his retirement.

A look of contributors of this volume and over whelming response received shows the affection and respect towards his senior professional Dr. M.K. Stanely. We extend our sincere thanks to the learned contributors and grateful acknowledges to their contributions.
