I am going to introduce to our ILI community, Ms.Sandhya, the silent, shy and senior serials librarian shortly.!!

Dear Mr. Devrai,
Greetings and good wishes!

I am going to introduce to our ILI community, Ms. Sandhya, the silent, shy and senior serials librarian - shortly. Whole of last week we were busy with our co-ordinator from FAO.Pl. have a look at this link.

http://www.arboretum.org.in/

Do you personally know Mr. Prafulla Chandra who is in this project?I contacted him via e-mail and I got a response. Beyond this I don't want to disturb him now. I came to know about this when I mentioned to Srinivasachary, (another friend of mine who works in Manage) that I am interested only in growing a few trees and preach only that to people.Their tag line - ...at peace in the lap of nature ... gave me instant peace.I know that a single tree in our own garden gives more peace than 1000 trees in an arboretum. But we have to work - for money!!! Then is it better to work in an arboretum?I nurture one more `dream lifestyle' in the context of this arboretum. But after I hear more from you about this venture and people concerning it.

Thanks for your encouragement and support. Your ILI blog is encouraging and supporting many people like me.Waiting to hear more from you about this project,

Mrs.Sugunasri Maddala - Independent Information Consultant

FREE RANGE LIBRARIAN

FREE RANGE LIBRARIAN!

Free Range Librarian : BLOG http://freerangelibrarian.com/ Free Range Librarian :
http://freerangelibrarian.com/

BLOGFree Range Librarian comprises the public, oft-daily mumblings and grumblings of one Karen G. Schneider, a writer and librarian who has written over 100 articles and 2 books, primarily about Internet technologies for library trade publications.Her less technically-oriented works include essays, portraits, travelogues, video reviews, and a historically dubious account of Washington crossing the Delaware.From 1995 to 2001, as the Internet Librarian columnist for American Libraries (circulation 65,000), Schneider consistently ranked in magazine surveys as AL's most popular author.By day, Schneider is a drudge who meekly toils in the shadow of six brilliant librarians who select, evaluate, describe, and organize websites for the well-regarded Librarians?
