The power of a book .....!!!!!!!!!!

JUNE 28, 2010 THE POWER OF A BOOK It is beyond arguments that knowledge is power and the power of knowledge make books and other containers powerful and significant. And the books embodying knowledge have continued to  treasure people to relish, preserve and conserve. Witness the power the book "Chitrangada" authored by the Great Poet Tagore, five member team reach the place and the building which could have inspired Gurudev to author the famous dance drama. Books / and other containers of knowledge bring value to the places, buildings and situations and ideas. That is the power of knowledge and books. Hats off! The team now is pursuing the case of declaring this almost in shambles building in Pandua as a world heritage site. Best wishes.

We should stop hopping on wrong / deviant sides of great artists and scientists and creative people.

Good or bad we need to be bit tolerant about the deviations of the so called performers / creative people. I don't know what others have to say on this. 2.Good news!

Raj Librarian's musings

21/06/2010
Raj Librarian’s Musings:

1. Beautiful thought of Anjali Mendes caught me this Monday unawares, To learn something new, everyday is a gift. You realize this only if your mind is open to the world & to life…….. I learnt that discipline & punctuality & respect for people were crucial to advancement, both in terms of career & self development……In the course of my career & travels, meeting people, exchanging ideas- that have helped me to absorb & learn, to share & spread happiness, transcending geography, culture & relationships. It is time for the Librarians to imitate this first international fashion model late Anjali Mendes(Pierre Cardin), in absorbing & learning, sharing & spreading happiness, transcending happiness, transcending geography, culture & relationships(Inspiration : : Times of India: Speaking Tree 21/06/2010).

2. Librarians can not afford to be uninformed of the ideas/thoughts of writers, novelists like Siddharth Dhanvant. Here he is, “Today books are in the ring with Twitter and books are defeated by 140 characters……Cinema makes me feel like I am personally going out of print” The idea of re-rendering the thoughts of Siddhartha is only to sensi-tise librarians to come out of their narrow shells, be more responsive, be more informed, be in the fore front of ideas than being followers, cataloguers & indexers. We do have a legacy of scholarship. Librarians should continue to be scholars. No other way seems to be more realistic & challenging & meaningful (Inspiration: Siddharths paper: Times of India 21/06/2010)., towards career growth and professionalism.


3. Whether in Government, or Private/Corporate sector, librarians can’t afford to be their limited shells. They need to be more pragmatic, more outspoken & more relevant to real callings of work & organization. They need to be multitasking sooner or later to prove their nerves of professionalism. Have a look at what Norbert Nego wrote today with a caption “One thing at a time” (Inspiration: TOI 20/06/2010).

4. Times of India’s clipping…..”looking for company? Just rent a friend” (TOI 21/06/2010). Interesting indeed! How about saying, “Looking for information & knowledge? Just rent a Librarian!

It is quite natural for all of us to long for more and more joy, happiness and enjoyment .....

It is quite natural for every one to have more and more fun, joy and happiness. Time and again we feel unhappy and sad when we face a down. But now I do realise if there are downs in ones life .... how do we value ups and excellence .. and joy. Thank you downs .. you make me realise the importance of what i have .... make me realise the ups of my life ... make me realise the importance of the best of life that i have had. Life continues ..... with less or more of ups and downs ... Let me accept it as it is.... as that is the the best option.

Reading with difference

Reading with difference

Reading continues to be a part & amp; partial of habit of individuals in the modern knowledge society. Just like other seekers of knowledge librarians do read. Reading for the sake of reading

does not normally lead to value addition nor understanding the article we read. The book one reads should be related to one's background, understanding & relevance because according to law of conservation Knowledge neither gets destroyed nor can it be created. Then only what we read gets internalized. When we (librarians) read, we read as a reader only. We need to read browse &  access as librarians. The moment we wear the cap of a librarian what we read becomes more situational & more understandable, as all our works directly or indirectly are related to knowledge organization, knowledge storage and  knowledge retrieval/Dissemination. It is but obvious that we should keep our interest alive to know a more &  more about knowledge, its evolution, history &  eminence.We got down to right this words after reading a write up on "Throwing Light on Knowledge "By G.S. Tripathi…….Speaking tree: Times of India:08/05/2010. Librarians should not miss to read such educative & thought provoking write ups. The high light of the write up should be of interest to every one, librarians too : 1.Knowledge is continuous, 2. Knowledge liberates the mind, 3. Knowledge of the ultimate enables eternal liberation 4; Knowledge is transcendental perception.  5. According to Ralf W. Emerson" A man should learn to detect & watch that gleam of light which flashes across his mind from within". The Ideas of Prof.G.S.Tripathy is so close and relevant  to our literature on knowledge organization. We must really keep learning more & more about knowledge organization from scholars like G.S.Tripathy because Knowledge is power.

bibliometrics and bio-bibliometrics

Neilson expansion in India Librarians can't overlook The CEO of Neilson a Global market research giant is around in India talking to Individuals & Business Groups. Interestingly Neilson's Globally successful tools: Buzzmetrics & Neurofocus obviously come closer to what few librarians are engaged in what are known as Bibliometrics, Bio Bibliometrics, Scientometric, & Webometrics. The tools/techniques may not sound similar but should be of much interest to librarians engaged in productivity, growth & measurement studies. Curious? Be generous to be curous to look at works and writings  of  V.L Kalyane, Kademani Basavaraj with regard to scientometrics & informetrics. If you are in still gripped by what I am talking about read news clipping titled Nielson bets big & bold on Desi Mart(Times Of India:07/05/2010). Have a good day.

Librarians Thank Swati Deshpande

Social networking is order of the day,of course true only for the networked world. Swati Deshpande 's article (times of India, 27/04/2010)is an eye opener for worried parents about their kids.Of course there are many problems about kids getting online on social networking sites as kids really either don't know about privacy settings or they don't just bother.
Now as librarians where are we? all said & done virtual world has become more real than the real world.Social Networking opens whole lot of options for our professional development . Go to any networking sites like orkut, face book,........you tube,twitter will find librarians. Now it is much easier & convenient to get in touch with any librarian from anywhere in the world through social networks: Let us explore possibilities of encasing on this wonderful world of networking .Let us talk about it .Let us cope up with the ever changing world.

I Am Sure Librarians are Basically Innovators

Hope every librarian agrees with this. Those of the librarian who donot agree to what I say have some serious problem. This need agree to introspect themselves.
