Updation in EG@
Dear e-Granthalaya Users,
1. We are making regular efforts to make the e-Granthalaya Software with more and more features, user-friendly and easy to install. In the recent past, we have removed the "SQL Reporting Services" from the application as it was cumbersome to install and setup the Service at Server PC. In place of "SQL Reporting Service", now we have added "Crystal Reports" which are wrapped with the application and no need to install separately.
2. In this series of simplification of the application, now we have removed "GranthService" layer also from the application, especially, where database is residing either in the same/local PC or on LAN. Due to this, now there two variants of the e-Granthalaya Ver.3.0:-
A). eG3 with Local/LAN database connectivity where database is available in local/same pc or on LAN
B). eG3 with Remote/WAN database connectivity where database is available in remote PC. e.g. ZSI, BSI and NIC databases are hosted in NIC Server in Delhi. In such situation, these libraries will continue the use of "GranthService" layer.
eG3 Updates:
3. Now eG3 Update is available for "eG3 Client Program" for download/install from our server. The eG3 Client Program can also be updated/installed direct onto your client PC from the following URL:
http://egranthalaya.nic.in/eg3/publish.htm
4. This update is for all the eG3 users except BSI, ZSI and NIC libraries...these libraries can update their client program from the following lcoation:
http://egranthalaya.nic.in/eg3_WCF/publish.htm
5. To install the eG3 latest update, first un-install the existing Client program (not the database) from all clients PC and then run the "setup" program direct from the above mentioned URL by clicking the INSTALL button.
6. On successful installation, database connectivity form (in place of GranthService Form) will be opened with the following 4 text boxes where u have to provide the database info:
i). Database Server Name: copy this name from first screen of the SQL Server 2005 management studio
ii). Database Name:
iii). Login/Databse User Name
Iv). Password
NOTE: It is advisable to update the client software first in a single PC. on successful updation then other client PCs can be updated accordingly. Also before updation, take the database backup.
After updation, you must check all the utilities and data of the library. In case, you observe any error pl communicate us for correction.
Changes:
1. All reports are added
2. Some of the bugs removed
3. Database connectivity method changed, removed the GranthService layer.
Future updation: After this updation, we will again re-check the reports and if required reports will be modified accordingly. Also, more features will be added.
Autoamtic Updation: Future updation will be done automatically in case Client PCs are on internet.
Users are requested to send the feedback about the software and in case they need to suggest any addition/modification, they may send us in the email. Also, in case users need to add new Report then they may send us the Format of the Report

Random pics and thoughts of a Librarian!! Librarian and tension ... no way together!!!!!!!!!
tension : Tension and Librarians ... no way ...!!!
Logical and illogical, rational and irrational random pics and thoughts of a Librarian!!
20090704 - Saturday - 0912am : Tension is good dear!
Hi there,
Tension is the most unwanted thing by every one. No one likes to be in tension or under tension. The way it increases our temperature, the way it increases our pulse beat, the way it at times shakes us, the way it makes us tremble, the way it makes us cry shout, the way it makes us aggressive, the way it makes us dead over silent .... who welcomes, who wishes to be under tension. Every one wishes to avoid situations that cause tension, every one would wish to avaoid people, situations that cause tension. Never the less tension does occur to all of us at times, many a times, some times ... unanticipated ... un announced. It is part and parcel of our life ... it is one of the normal part of our behaviour... it is normal part of peoples behaviour. Indeed it is not bad to be under tension. When we are confronted with too many things to be accomplished, when we miss a train .... when we were heading for an interview ... meeting, when we are faced with an accident ... and we were heading for an exam ... when a close friend relative shows an untoward, unusual ... shocking behaviour. ..... tension occurs ... when our mind cannot accept certain things... in that particular moment. What is important is to understand the whole thing. Tension is very natural ... tension should not be avoided ... it should be faced consciously. Tension according to me is the hot / cold feeling that we have about an incident, accident etc. The sequence of things that happened at a particular moment have nothing to do ... our fealing and realisation that we are in trouble is a problem. The problem is not in facing the situation, the problem is not in speeding up the works... the problem is not in handling too many things at a time, the problem is not in situations, the prolbem is in the the people around us whom we consider as problematic .... the problem is in the way we react and respond to that situation, which caused tension, unrest. The best way to handle tension is to relax, focus on the works in hand... be objective in handling things one by one ... cooolly.
Now what is so bad in TENSION? Great works that are accomplished by us in different walk of our lives ... get done under tension ... am I right? Things that are impossible happen under tension. Things that we never imagined to do ... get done when we are at the pitch of our tension ... the so called unwanted tension.
Let us welcome tension dear .... the moment we welcome tension ... tension is gone. Tensions are energigers .. tensions are tonics ... tensions are boosters ... let us employ our tensions in constructive works. We can do it..... we have done it at times ... am I right?

Friends do you know any thing about a forum of GAY LIBRARIANS? ..... EXPLORE follow the link : http://tribes.tribe.net/3df67098-1328-473c-a4e7-14eb9bfcf95a
Friends, it is indeed a remarkable moment in Indian history with regard to gay culture and gay rights. There is nothing unnatural or irrational about being a gay. Ofcourse every culture, society defines the way its members should act ... behave. Right and wrong is always a subject of debate any way.

See DetailsPublisher: Universe Publishing(ny)
Book: Gay Life & Culture: A World History
In the years since Stonewall, the world has witnessed an outpouring of research, critical inquiry, and re-interpretation of gay life and culture. This book draws on groundbreaking new material to present a comprehensive survey of all things gay, stretching back to ancient Sumeria and ranging to the present day. Critically acclaimed historian Robert Aldrich and ten leading scholars juxtapose thought-provoking essays with an extensive selection of images, many never before seen. This masterful combination reveals the story behind gay culture from the industrialized world to the remotest corners of tribal New Guinea. Among the contributors are noted names in GLBT studies such as Brett Beemyn (author of Bisexuality in the Lives of Men), Charles Hupperts (expert on classical antiquity at the University of Amsterdam), Helmut Puff (University of Michigan expert on the medieval world), and Florence Temagne (author of A History of Homosexuality in Europe). The book covers such topics as the Old Testament relationship between Jonathan and David, the Age of Confucius, Native American berdaches, Polynesian mahus, Berlin in the '20s, Stonewall and the disco-flavored hedonism that followed, and the advent of AIDS, Act Up, and Angels in America. This book is an important contribution to understanding what makes gay life and culture universal throughout human culture and across time.

LIBRARIAN IS A SOCIALLY RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN 20090702gb - Thursday - 1040am - Dear, you know we are running every day .... we stop at certain stops ... then keep running ... on the way we get hurdles .. face them and again start running, walking, sliding ... life goes on. Some times we take over others by our speed .. some times others take over us when we are slow. Some times we miss a bus or train or whatever ... and stop at a stop longer than required .. and you know at every stop we learn some thing .. which we cant realise when we are in running ... interesting know dear ... hope these realisations must have occured to you as well many a times ... We suddenly realise how nice it is to be out of a difficilty, hurdle ... rush caos. Be smiling dear be happy. Keep smiling... be happy ... every small journey we take up every day teaches us some thing. Let us be aware....let us be keen observers. Darling, today morning when me and Vicky were on the way to school and my institute ... it is memorable. Due to some electrical problem at Mulund, it was announced that the trains will not be stopping at Nahur and Kanjurmarg.... Believe me there was utter confusion amongst passengers ... trains were n0t moving at all ... when were approaching Bhandup where we decided to get down. It is next to impossible to get down. There was heavy rush of people to get down....there was a down pour of passsengers where we were to board. Some college boys helped Vicky to get down ... and you know i got stuck ... I mean my bag got stuck between people..... it was hell a lot of a pain to get my bad .... the straps came off and the bag fell down near the door way.... with great difficulty i got down and started running with the running train to fetch my bag.... one of the passengers was very kind and considerate ... he made a little way to catch hold of my bag .... ultimately ... I fetched the bag and sat down at station for a few minutes with Vicky and then proceeded furtther to reach school and institute... Vicky got late to school....I cam to institute at about 10.00am instead of 9............ RajLibrarian  Librarianship is a noble profession. 1816gbgv |

Gay Royer a librarian for 33 years retires ... to play her role as a Granny
Librarian leaves a lasting legacy
Report by : By Alan Blank
--------------------------------
address of original source : http://www.dailypilot.com/articles/2009/06/25/topstory/dpt-librarian053009.txt
"Gay Royer spent her last day as the College Park Elementary librarian Friday after 33 years at the school, but with her departure the children whose lives she has touched will also be losing a coach, a therapist and a friend.Growing up, Royer had a troubled childhood, fraught with responsibilities not usually heaped on those her age. At 10, she was already acting like a mother to her two younger siblings. Because she missed a lot of her own childhood, the librarian says she “deals better in the child world than the adult world.”During her long tenure at the school, Royer has attracted students by showing a genuine interest in their life stories and approaching them with an energetic, amiable personality, always joking and laughing.Students would gravitate toward the library whenever they had a chance, where the affable librarian would hold court. She kept couches and plenty of teddy bears around and would recommend books to students.“She’s almost like a second grandma to the kids,” said Lori Robnett, a past PTA president whose son went to College Park and was so fond of Royer that he came back and visited her after he left the school.Living in Costa Mesa since childhood, Royer graduated from Costa Mesa High School. Support staff at the high school got her through, she said, and inspired her to try to help younger generations in the same way.Royer was a board member of the PTA for 30 years (in addition to brief stints on six other school PTAs), a Girl Scout leader, a volunteer coach of the school’s track and cross country team (along with colleague Buzz Amble) and a frequent organizer of school events, which often required her to come early in the morning and leave late in the afternoon.In the summers, Royer coordinated the sanitation crew at the Orange County Fair, where she gave many of her past students their first jobs as janitors.Now the librarian is leaving because of her newest responsibility: being a grandmother.“I’m going to retire and take care of the baby or else I wouldn’t retire until I’m 90 because I love the children here,” she said.Royer has seen some of the school’s kids grow up, raise families and send their own kids to the same school. The librarian was briefly honored in front of assembled students and teachers before classes Friday.Teacher Michelle Hanscom had this to say: “We will remember your legacy here — one filled with peace, love and laughter.”It’s unlikely that College Park has seen the last of Royer. Even though she is leaving, she plans to stay involved in the school where she left a lasting imprint on the lives of so many children".

The librarian was briefly honored in front of assembled students and teachers before classes Friday.Teacher Michelle Hanscom had this to say: “We will remember your legacy here — one filled with peace, love and laughter.”It’s unlikely that College Park has seen the last of Royer. Even though she is leaving, she plans to stay involved in the school where she left a lasting imprint on the lives of so many children".
