    Do not introduce new topics and break discussion with new line of inquiry. Wait till current topic discussion exhausts. Example: *Do no insert congratulatory messages when someone is posting condolences or sad news.*

    If you are reposting information from other groups give credit as its ethical. Example: Above information forwarded from “Name of Group”.

    # *STRICTLY AVOID GENERAL INFORMATION/GENERAL MESSAGES/FORWARDS/POETRY (SHAYARI)/IMAGES/VIDEOS….”GOOD THOUGHT OF DAY (‘SUVICHAR’) !*  These are posted on other groups too, so please visit those groups to read/post/repost or enjoy such messages.

    Breaking News of National or International importance like disasters (earthquakes, fire etc.) or health pandemics is acceptable to be posted.

    Strict warning – kindly do not post your personal contact information (address/email/phone/mobile) or any other information that may infringe/compromise your privacy/security.*

    # THINK BEFORE YOU FORWARD – fake news/untruths/mis-information/disinformation/malinformation/propaganda/deception/falsification/chain msg/promotions/advertising/flash-sales/spam/challenges/forwards as they are strictly not acceptable like below

    • Don’t drink bottled/tetra-packaged drinks!
    • Aids from vendor cutting any fruit!

    IndiaLibraries understands the seriousness of requests for blood donation and/or missing child/elderly person …. sympathizes and empathizes…. but requests members not to repost these messages.

    Incase of doubt please check…verify/authenticate information if current/latest before you post/repost: It is LIS professionals duty to verify/authenticate and provide original source/link where info published – if possible.

Please note that all admins are volunteers who out of their goodwill are monitoring group. Kindly do not create problems for volunteer admins/moderators by posting sensitive/controversial information/opinions/fake news – that generate arguments & disturb peace of group/community or raise hackles of public impacting national security! Be informed that as reported in newspapers legal/criminal proceedings can be initiated against them.

    # IndiaLibraries Policy/Rules on adding/retaining/unsubscribing LIS professionals as members of its groups depends solely on absolute discretion of admin and is final. IndiaLibraries volunteer admins/moderators cannot be held responsible for member opinions. IndiaLibraries believes that all its members are mature/learned/well-read/well informed professionals who are coherent regarding information that they are posting/sharing.  So, it is assumed that members take full responsibility for what they post/repost/share on IndiaLibraries groups.

    IndiaLibraries is a name for the group. India in name of group does not limit its scope to India. There should be no statements/arguments/counter arguments about why IndiaLibraries should be renamed or its groups should allow posting in Hindi or any other regional language of India, as India is mentioned in the group name or Hindi being official language of India! It is group admins discretion to name the group or limit/extend scope of group or language being communicated and admins decision is absolute/final. No arguments regarding above will be entertained.

    IndiaLibraries admins are highly patriotic – where unity and patriotism is encouraged & celebrated! Members are requested not to make IndiaLibraries a platform to air your negative views or messages insulting India or Indians.
