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?

Know your Librarians Far and Wide - Series : Rebecca Blakiston

KNOW YOUR LIBRARIAN FAR AND WIDE - LIBRARIAN - Rebecca Blakiston

Rebecca Blackiston in her own words,

"As a budding library professional, I thought it was about time I started my own blog. This blog began as I was trekking through my final semester in library school in fall of 2007. There honestly isn’t much of a focus, but rather a general sharing of knowledge with the rest of the library world. I hope this will help facilitate discussion of various outreach and professional development activities, new technologies & other methods of reaching communities, and the future role of libraries and librarianship.
About me, I recently obtained my MLS from the School of Information Resources & Library Science (SIRLS) at the University of Arizona (UA). I began the program in the fall of 2005 and graduated this past December 2007. I was President of the Library Student Organization, our ALA Student Chapter, Spring 2006-Spring 2007, which was a fantastic experience. I also co-chaired the planning for our 3rd Annual Graduate Student Symposium held in November 2007.
I was full-time staff in the Materials Access Team (access services) at the UA Library starting in 2005, and held the title of Library Specialist, Library Information Associate, and Library Information Analyst. Prior to becoming staff I was a student worker (shelving, paging, maps, newspapers, circ desk, scanning, photocopy, you name it) for two years. In January 2008 I landed an Assistant Librarian position with the Undergraduate Services Team so now work primarily with reference services and instruction for first-year students. This is a temporary one-year contracted position so I am still actively seeking a permanent position for when this has run its course.
I have a passion for librarianship and its values, particularly teaching information literacy, promoting equity of access & freedom of information, participating in outreach to communities, and encouraging continuous learning. While my experiences have mostly been in the academic setting, I am very open to working in a variety of libraries, as long as they have the same commitments and support the same values that got me into this profession in the first place. We will see where this field takes me. I can’t say where but I am certainly up for the adventure!"

I dont think anybody canrestrict someone whos might be really interested in doing something. This isour Indian education system, we are not allowed to do something we areinterested in doing something. But forced to do which we do not like at all.Come on people wake up, its high time to restrict something. Do ourprofessionals know something about multitasking? Librarian has to be one,moreover it is his part of professional requirement. Wake up people wake upfrom slumber!!First of all there is hell of misunderstanding about the librarians inIndia, moreover if he is restricted to enhance his knowledge then thisprofession will be drowned. This today's concept of librarian is framedbecause of old professionals who hardly did work towards progress and somainly the professionals are not at all PROACTIVE. Please change yourselfand fit in today's world. Darwins theory holds good for all times.."Survival of the Fittest", keep yourself fit to compete with otherprofessions.Move towards progress-------->Poornima--------->-- "Be Good, Do Good For Good Things Leads To Good End"._______________________________________________LIS-Forum mailing listLIS-Forum@ncsi.iisc.ernet.inhttp://ncsi.iisc.ernet.in/mailman/listinfo/lis-forum

ili - SUGANA'S COLUMN - : Dr. S.R.Raganathan's painting presented to the Department of Library Science, Sri Venkateswara University, 1986

Dr.Ranganathan's photograph on Asha's blog reminded me of my contribution to the Dep. Lib. Scie., S.V. University. I painted Dr. Ranganathan's portrait the day before our annual meet and presented it during the function.

Dr. Ranganathan's concepts remain current even to date. Application of his ideas to address the issues of semantic web technologies needs to be explored.

There is a temple in Dhamtari District of Raipur a place where no gods or goddess are worshiped. In this temple NEWSPAPERS has a divine status here and worshipped daily.
The temple built in 1993, and known as Gandhi Mandir and look after by Halba sect of Gond tribe of the Chhatisgarh.
The locals have string reasons for expressing their faith in print media. This clearly shows in words of Gandhi Mandir priest Balram Markam, which are "The Newspapers are eye openers, create awareness, remain watchful of the evils and crimes in society, inculcate human values and prevent people from committing wrong"
The temple is decorated with various slogans and hymns dedicated to the nation, Mahatma Gandhi and the people who are dubbed the 'Janata Gandhi'.
Here Newspapers and books are considered as any other religious epic. Any newspaper can get here place here without any discrimination of language or region barrier.

The detail of this news can be read with the help of this link:
