Libraries Driving Access to Knowledge

As a life member of LAS (Library Association of Singapore), I received the invitation from NLB and registered for the following talk:

"Libraries Driving Access to Knowledge"

Speaker: Ms Ellen Remona Tise,
President-Elect of the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) & Senior Director, Library and Information Services at University of Stellenbosch, South Africa
Date : 23 February 2009 (Monday)
Time : 3.00 pm - 4.30 pm
Venue : Visitor Briefing Room, Level 1, National Library Building


It is always good to hear other's view about library world and library trends. Here are some points I like:

Dictionary definition: access means availability or support.

Access to libraries = mean that “ the library is available, with some limitations, to anyone who wants to use it”.

Access to information is a more complex concept.
As the term is used in our profession, we usually mean making information available.

The concept of freedom of access to information is perhaps most clearly outlined in Article 19 of the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. According to this, all human beings have the fundamental right to have access to all expressions of knowledge, creativity and intellectual activity, and to express their thoughts in public.

Access to knowledge is critical for the development and growth of society.

Implicit role in theme is that of social inclusion and librarians becoming active change agents in society.

Libraries: gateways to knowledge.

Access alone: not enough.
Extending our services, methods, practices

Some Barriers to Access to Knowledge
*Lack of significant usage access
*Non availability of content
*Costs
*Copyright legislation
*Librarians

How can libraries drive access to knowledge?
*Libraries fundamental role to play in building knowledge societies
*Librarians expertise to transform ‘digital divide into digital opportunities’
*Librarians value in researching, assessing, organising, describing, managing information
*Remain at forefront, library buildings and services to be redesigned to reach the user
*Innovative approaches to quarantee free and universal access to relevant knowledge

Summary
*Ensure that the world’s citizenry have access to the world’s knowledge
*Dismantle barriers to access
*Urgency for libraries to drive access to knowledge
*Active librarianship to support development
*Ensure that libraries stay on the agenda
*Libraries continue to travel beyond borders

Libraries Driving Access to Knowledge
Encompasses IFLA’s three major advocacy themes:
*Freedom: Freedom of access to information and freedom of expression
*Equity:Fair and sustainable legal and economic relationships between the creators, intermediaries and users of information
*Inclusion: the role of the library in the Information Society and the role of the library as an agency of social inclusion

中华舒氏网论坛

今天我看舒氏的网站, 我心里很兴奋!

作为舒氏一员, 其实我早就想找找舒氏的历史文献!

Maybe, it is time to let those who addressed me as Dexterine Ho Soo Miang know that my father's original surname is Soo, or 舒, he adopted "Ho" as his surname during World War II. In his and our NRIC, our Surname is Ho, yet, in our heart, we identify 舒 as our surname!

As my father cannot changed his surname back to 舒, (the story is rather long and I will share it later) to make us remember our original surname, all his six children were given 舒 as the middle name.

舒 is Soo in Teo Chew and Shu in Hanyu Pinyi.

Well, for the story of my father's original surname, I will share it later. Now just let me guide you to learn more about 舒 as a surname via:

巴菲特（Warren E. Buffett）名言语录

巴菲特（Warren E. Buffett）名言语录


我之所以成为世界首富是因为我花得少.

吸引我从事工作的原因之一是，它可以让你过你自己想过的生活。你没有必要为成功而打扮。

要赢得好的声誉需要20年，而要毁掉它，5分钟就够。如果明白了这一点，你做起事来就会不同了。

如果你能从根本上把问题所在弄清楚并思考它，你永远也不会把事情搞得一团遭!

在生活中，我不是最受欢迎的，但也不是最令人讨厌的人。我哪一种人都不属于。

任何一位，卷入复杂工作的人都需要同事。

如果你是池塘里的一只鸭子，由于暴雨的缘故水面上升，你开始在水的世界之中上浮。但此时你却以为上浮的是你自己，而不是池塘。

哲学家们告诉我们，做我们所喜欢的，然后成功就会随之而来。

每天早上去办公室，我感觉我正要去教堂，去画壁画！

正直，勤奋，活力。而且，如果他们不拥有第一品质，其余两个将毁灭你。对此你要深思，这一点千真万确。

生活的关键是，要弄清谁为谁工作。

哈佛的一些大学生问我，我该去为谁工作？我回答，去为哪个你最仰慕的人工作。两周后，我接到一个来自该校教务长的电话。他说，你对孩子们说了些什么？他们都成了自我雇佣者。

头脑中的东西在未整理分类之前全叫“垃圾”！

要学会以40分钱买1元的东西。

人性中总是有喜欢把简单的事情复杂化的不良成分。

风险来自你不知道自己正做些什么？

只有在退潮的时候，你才知道谁在裸泳！

你不得不自己动脑。我总是吃惊于那么多高智商的人也会没有头脑的模仿。在别人的交谈中，没有得到任何好的想法。

任何不能永远前进的事物都将停滞。

我喜欢简单的东西。

别人赞成也罢，反对也罢，都不应该成为你做对事或做错事的理由。

我们不因大人物，或大多数人的赞同而心安理得，也不因他们的反对而担心。

当我发现自己处在一个洞穴之中时，最重要的事情就是停止挖掘。

有两种信息：你可以知道的信息和重要的信息。而你可以知道且又重要的信息在整个已知的信息中只占极小的百分比！

如果你在错误的路上，奔跑也没有用。

我们也会有恐惧和贪婪，只不过在别人贪婪的时候我们恐惧，在别人恐惧的时候我们贪婪。

价格是你所付出去的，价值是你所得到的，评估一家企业的价值部分是艺术部分是科学。
　　
抛开其他因素，如果你单纯缘于高兴而做一项工作，那么这就是你应该做的工作，你会学到很多东西。

如果你想知道我为什么能超过比尔·盖茨，我可以告诉你，是因为我花得少，这是对我节俭的一种奖赏。

Warren Buffett: some of his quotations

A public opinion poll is no substitute for thought.

If past history was all there was to the game, the richest people would be librarians.

Risk comes from not knowing what you’re doing.

Chains of habit are too light to be felt until they are too heavy to be broken.

I don’t look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over.

If a business does well, the stock eventually follows.

In the business world, the rear-view mirror is always clearer than the windshield.

It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.

It’s better to hang out with people better than you. Pick out associates whose behavior is better than yours and you’ll drift in that direction.

It’s far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.

Of the billionaires I have known, money just brings out the basic traits in them. If they were jerks before they had money, they are simply jerks with a billion dollars.

Warren Buffet's advice for 2009

Warren Buffet's advice for 2009

We begin this New Year with dampened enthusiasm and dented optimism.

Our happiness is diluted and our peace is threatened by the financial illness that has infected our families, organizations and nations.

Everyone is desperate to find a remedy that will cure their financial illness and help them recover their financial health.

They expect the financial experts to provide them with remedies, forgetting the fact that it is these experts who created this financial mess.

Every new year, I adopt a couple of old maxims as my beacons to guide my future.

This self-prescribed therapy has ensured that with each passing year, I grow wiser and not older.

This year, I invite you to tap into the financial wisdom of our elders along with me, and become financially wiser.

* Hard work: All hard work bring a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.

* Laziness: A sleeping lobster is carried away by the water current.

* Earnings: Never depend on a single source of income. [At least make your Investments get you second earning]

* Spending: If you buy things you don't need, you'll soon sell things you need.

* Savings: Don't save what is left after spending; spend what is left after saving.

* Borrowings: The borrower becomes the lender's slave.

* Accounting: It's no use carrying an umbrella, if your shoes are leaking.

* Auditing: Beware of little expenses; A small leak can sink a large ship.

* Risk-taking: Never test the depth of the river with both feet. [Have an alternate plan ready]

* Investment: Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

I'm certain that those who have already been practicing these principles remain financially healthy.

I'm equally confident that those who resolve to start practicing these principles will quickly regain their financial health.

Let us become wiser and lead a happy, healthy, prosperous and peaceful life.

Against all odds

When you get in a tight place and everything goes against you,

till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer,

never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.


-- Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896)

Character, commitment and discipline

It was character that got us out of bed,

commitment that moved us into action,

and discipline that enabled us to follow through.


-- Zig Ziglar

Respect your fellow human being

Respect your fellow human being,

treat them fairly,

disagree with them honestly,

enjoy their friendship,

explore your thoughts about one another candidly,

work together for a common goal and help one another achieve it.
-- Bill Bradley (b. 1943)

We are just a drop in the ocean ...

We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean.

But the ocean would be less because of that missing drop.

-- Mother Teresa

You are here for a purpose

You are here for a purpose.

There is no duplicate of you in the whole wide world.

There never has been, there never will be.

You were brought here now to fill a certain need.

Take time to think that over.


-- Lou Austin

We are creators of circumstance

We are not creatures of circumstance;

we are creators of circumstance.


-- Benjamin Disraeli

To be without

To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.


-- Bertrand Russell

Attitude

We cannot choose the things that will happen to us.

But we can choose the attitude we will take toward anything that happens.

Success or failure depends on your attitude.


-- Alfred A. Montapert

To help them help themselves

The highest service we can perform for others is

to help them help themselves.


-- Horace Mann

Workshop Outline

Lesson 1
1. Folksonomies – Indexing without rules (with practical work of the participants).
2. Folksonomies in information services and library catalogues.

Lesson 2
3. Folksonomies and knowledge representation.
4. Folksonomies and information retrieval.

Lesson 3
5. Tag Gardening for folksonomy enrichment and maintenance.
6. Find "more like me"! The social function of a folksonomy.

What I had learned:

After attending the workshop, I understand the term "Folksonomy" is "Folk + taxonomy".
Recalling what we learned in library school, it is like free text indexing by common folk.


To understand it better, you may like to read what I clip from wikipedia:

"Folksonomy (also known as collaborative tagging, social classification, social indexing, and social tagging) is the practice and method of collaboratively creating and managing tags to annotate and categorize content. Folksonomy describes the bottom-up classification systems that emerge from social tagging. In contrast to traditional subject indexing, metadata is generated not only by experts but also by creators and consumers of the content. Usually, freely chosen keywords are used instead of a controlled vocabulary.[2] Folksonomy (from folk + taxonomy) is a user-generated taxonomy."

Source of information:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folksonomy

As someone who searches databases for decades. I can see the popularity of folksonomy will generate a lot of work for Librarians or Information Professional in record cleaning and record management.

If these type of work can be translated to "Jobs" for Librarian or Information Professional , I am optimitic that Librarian or Information Professional will be in great demands in future.

Here are some criticism on Folksonomy I read from wikipedia:

"Folksonomy is criticized because its lack of terminological control causes it to be more likely to produce unreliable and inconsistent results. If tags are freely chosen (instead of taken from a given vocabulary), synonyms (multiple tags for the same concept), homonymy (same tag used with different meaning), and polysemy (same tag with multiple related meanings) are likely to arise, lowering the efficiency of content indexing and searching.[4] Other reasons for meta noise are the lack of stemming (normalization of word inflections) and the heterogeneity of users and contexts.

Classification systems have several problems: they can be slow to change, they reflect (and reinforce) a particular worldview, they are rooted in the culture and era that created them, and they can be absurd at times. Idiosyncratic folksonomic classification within a clique can especially reinforce pre-existing viewpoints. Folksonomies are routinely generated by people who have spent a great deal of time interacting with the content they tag, and may not properly identify the content's relationship to external items."

Unity and individuality are not mutually exclusive.

Differences do not have to mean divisions, and contrast does not have to lead to conflict.

Visit to "Reflections at Bukit Chandu"

Reflections at Bukit Chandu is the name of the Museum, as it sounds very much like a title of a book, it takes me some time before I can link it to a site, and unlink it with an image of a book!

I was a Librarian for too long and the habit is hard to change!

Well, it is the visit to "Reflections at Bukit Chanduon" that made the link sealed in my mind.

How the visit take place:

NLB offered 10 slots for LAS members (non-NLB staff) to join the group for this visit, I was fortunate to be one of the 10.

Transportation was provided from the National Library Building to Reflections at Bukit Chandu and return.

Some of the members go on their own, I find it easier to meet the group at 2.15pm and take the Bus from NLB.

Reflections at Bukit Chandu is located at 31-K Pepys Road, Singapore 118458. It is a WWII Interpretative Centre that presents the local perspective of the war in the Far East, and is located close to where the Battle of Pasir Panjang, one of the last significant battles fought in Singapore, took place.

It emphasis on the battles fought in Singapore, and the Malay Regiment who defended the Pasir Panjang area, it is an excellent prelude to the stories displayed in the exhibition gallery at Memories at Old Ford Factory.

If you enjoyed the tour organised by LAS to Memories at Old Ford Factory like me, you may like to visit Reflections at Bukit Chandu to find out more about the Malayan Campaign and the bravery of the Malay Regiment soldiers.

If it is hard to take a day off to visit the site and see the real things, the web site at:

http://www.s1942.org.sg/s1942/bukit_chandu/homepage.htm

will be a good alternative.

Here is our Programme of the day:

2.15 pm Meet at the VIP drop-off area, The Plaza, National Library (facingVictoria Street)

2.20 pm Bus leaves NL Building

2.50 pm Arrival at Reflections at Bukit Chandu

3.00-5.00 pm Tour5.05 pm Bus leaves Reflections at Bukit Chandu

5.30 pm Bus arrives at NL Building


If you liket to visit the Centre at 31K Pepys Road S(118458), here is the Driving directions I found from the web page:

For a quick 30-minute drive from the city, take AYE and exit at South Buona Vista Road towards Pasir Panjang Road. At the end of South Buona Vista Road, turn left into Pasir Panjang Road and turn left again at the 5th junction to enter Pepys Road. Free parking is available at Carparks C and D.

The place is hard to find, and this location map will be very useful.
Print a copy and followng the map, you will less likely to have the problem locating it!

http://www.s1942.org.sg/s1942/bukit_chandu/location.htm


Just note that like many museums in Singapore, Reflections at Bukit Chandu is closed on Monday.

Opening Hours: Tuesdays - Sundays, 9am - 5pm

Outstanding success

People of mediocre ability sometimes achieve outstanding success

never be too big to ask questions,

never know too much to learn something new.
