Thanks


Thank you IndiaLibrarian-Intl for inviting me to participate in this blog.

I did vote on the poll on the Status of Librarians and I would like to expand on my vote, viz., that Librarianship is a full-fledged profession. However, in India we still are not able to get the deserved recognition for our work, skills and contributions. This is simple because we have not demonstrated to the managements and our users as to how libraries canand have contributed to their learning and knowledge endeavours. I believe librarians should be more outgoing - interact more with users, both interpersonally and in formal ways and let them know how the library can benefit them. Equally, I believe we need the interactions to better undestand their needs/problems and see how we could meet these. Lastly, we need to use technology innovatively to improve our images and also our capability to serve users more effectively.

I would also like your members to know of an important initiative in making an open source ILS available to Indian and other developing country libraries. Please visit http://www.newgenlib.com for details.

good morning 30th June 2008





Hi Librarians!

Good Morning!

There are to two buttons for my cuff straps of my shirt (right hand). I normally wear my watch on the right hand. Morning when I get ready for office I wrongly put the first button which makes it very tight to my wrist. Added to it there is a watch. It is natural I must use the second button. But every time I forget this and but the first button...and then I remove and then put the second button. I dont know when may be very recently...my first button is gone .... I dont know when. You know now the button which I used to butt wrongly every day is gone. Now without fail I have to use the second button only which is very comfortable because it accommodates the watch as well. Many things which were for so long hurdles in our lives are taken care by nature/god un awares. We forget to thank God. There are innumerable times when God facilitates our living.....if we are careful in observation we can notice. By habbit we only keep cursing God about things that he has not given us. My Librarian friends while managing our libraries our focus is normally on things that we dont have....or things that create troubles....or things that make us unhappy. Let us open our minds to see that there are many things and facilities around...which can indeed make our lib mgt and services more more effective and worthwhile. Cheers! Look around be proud of the things you possess just like....!!! Be smiling....be happy always....you are a noble professional.....you continue to be a knowledge professional!

Librarianship is a noble profession.

Are ILA peoples are sleeping??????????


Whether Indian Library Association members and Administrators are sleeping?? This question will came into your mind if you tried & tired when you click http://www.ila-india.org/. I asked this question in LIS forum. i think the ILA not working properly as the name was. If Indian Library Association doesn't maintain a website in the electronic era, what should it seeks, i think ILA used only for political purpose. According to some south India based Librarians, ILA is Delhi politics based librarians group, we never found any representation on that. So we don't believe ILA will be front runner in Library movement in India.
Now, I can say ILA should be reinstalled. We must delete some corrupted file and update new. Windows 98 or Dos version is suitable for ILA, XP/VISTA/LINUX we must think of it. Older people on the organization, if they are not ready to accept the change just backspaced from the authority and they should be insert key for young librarians.
Not only ILA it belongs to MLAI because they also don't have any websites. Let us bring "Dhoni Mania" in Library Associations, Library movements in India. : CONTRIBUTED BY ONE OF THE AUTHORS OF THIS BLOG viz thimms
