When Nations Remember 2' Conference

Photo: courtesy of Singapore Memory Project, Nation Library of Singapore
=====



I was excited to attend ‘When Nations Remember 2’ Conference" today at at the River Room, level 2, Asian Civilisations’ Museum today.



Being forgetful and have to return home to get my hand phone, I was there late (at 9.40am) and miss the opening countdown of ‘3,2,1’.



I was delighted to catch up with some library counterparts, ex-students of TP and many good friends who volunteer in the project, i.e., Belinda Tan, Daisy Yeo, James Seah, Joyce Shum, Lily Wong, Patricia Lee, Peter Chan, Rosie Wee and Zahra Aljunied.

I miss some part of Gene Tan's Speech, and here is the main points of the speech by Dr Yaacob Ibrahim:


=====

(Extracted from SPEECH BY DR YAACOB IBRAHIM, MINISTER FOR INFORMATION, COMMUNICATIONS AND THE ARTS AT WHEN NATIONS REMEMBER II, 28 NOVEMBER 2011, 9.40AM AT THE RIVER ROOM, ASIAN CIVILISATIONS MUSEUM)
http://app.mica.gov.sg/Default.aspx?tabid=36&ctl=Details&mid=539&ItemID=1356

* When Prime Minister Lee announced the Singapore Memory Project (SMP) during his National Day Rally earlier this year, we had only about 30,000 stories and memories. In slightly over three months, this has grown to more than 220,000 contributions. I hope we are on track to become a nation of storytellers. This tremendous increase in contributions is testimony to how this project has touched Singaporeans and all who feel a part of Singapore.

* ... like to applaud the enthusiastic efforts of all our partners – more than 90 academic, research and library institutions, heritage agencies, public agencies, private entities and community organisations; almost 100 volunteers, our Memory Corps, who come from all walks of life; as well as members of the public who contributed directly to the www.iremember.sg website who made this possible. The range and diversity of partnerships reflect wide community participation and ownership.

* ... grateful for the strong support and assistance extended to us by our Memory Corps who have worked tirelessly behind the scenes. By selflessly giving your time, playing roles from curator to connector, you have made the wider collection of memories possible.

* Everyone Can Contribute

* ... the SMP team collaborated with RediscoverSG, who are four young Singaporeans passionate about chronicling life in Singapore, to gather stories on the Tanjong Pagar Railway Station. The public responded positively to the iremember KTM initiative with their contributions of personal stories and photographs.

* Partners, like the Ministry of Education Heritage Centre and the Academy of School Teachers, also extended their support through the “iremembermySchoolDays” initiative, which gathered many school-day memories.

* Besides contributions from organisations and groups, the SMP team told me that we also have entries from abroad, all the way from the United Kingdom as well as Japan, with stories stretching from the 1930s to present day. For instance, Ms Fiona Hodgkins, who first came to Singapore from England in 1975 as a nine year old, shared her memories on growing up in Singapore during her early years, of learning to eat curry and visiting the Dutch club (as the British Club did not exist then) until her family left when she was 17 years old. There is also the story of Ms Wang Hui Ling, who is now residing in Japan, who shared her memories on the Hello Kitty craze in 2000, something that will be familiar to those of us who are young at heart.

* Sharing our memories with the generations to come

* The SMP is not just about building a database of memories or stories. Each memory helps to add to the collective that enriches our understanding and experience of our past.

* I remember when I was a kid, we were issued with the POSB “Save At School” stamp card with empty boxes for pasting postage stamps, and we would use our savings to buy 5-cent or 10-cent stamps to paste onto the card. When we complete the card with 20 stamps, we will give it to the school which will send it in to the bank, and it adds to our savings account. Till today, I still have a POSB account.

* The SMP aims to do the same – for every Singaporean to start the habit of saving. But, in this case, we are saving our memories and depositing them into a shared memory bank for ourselves, our children, grandchildren, and for others to enjoy, and more importantly, to enrich their lives.

* ... look forward to everyone’s support to achieve the target of collecting 5 million memories by 2015.

* Launch of PictureSG -- an online collection of images, whether artworks or photographs, showcasing the socio-cultural and historical development of Singapore. I think this is a wonderful initiative by NLB, because pictures say a thousand words. With this, the public can now share his image, include a description or even add a tag to it, so that people can understand and appreciate the image. Like the www.iremember.sg website, the SMP will insure this for posterity so that future generations can draw from these memory accounts and continue to be inspired by the stories of Singapore and her past.

* Today’s event shows that we care about everything that affirms our identity in Singapore, that we want to do our part to recollect for posterity what we remember. These efforts will draw us closer together as a nation and leave a legacy for future generations.

=====

The programmes that make an imprint in my mind are:

Memory Corps Lai Tuck Chong and Low Jiaxin's sharing on their experience in documenting the memories of a group of water heritage pioneers. The "Documenting memories of PUB Ex-Water Treatment Plant in Johor" have a group of Six PUB staff from the former Water Treatment Plants in Johor interviewed, captured in a seven minute video. I like the way "CEO" is being used to name "Chief Entertaining Officer", that shows the PUB staff have light-hearted and life-warming way of making heavy project a joyful process!.

Youth Project: RediscoverSG by A group of NTU students: Derek Foo, Elizabeth (Lizzy) Lee, Lim Song Lip and Jeremy Tan. I was touched by the introduction of the "The Unseen/Unsaid" 10-part mini series. The two mini espisodes Lizzy shown to the audience narrate everyday Singaporeans' life through forgotten trades and places. "Unseen/Unsaid allow viewers a glimpse into the personal struggles of individual Singaporeans whose stories draw a parallel with the surrounding places and landscapes".

As Lizzy put it "The 10-part series is born out of a desire to preserve the fragments of Singapore’s past that is rapidly being replaced by new developments." I like Episode 9 on Satay Boy in Tiong Bahru, and it was not shown at the conference. Being a resident in Tiong Bahru Estate for over 30 years, This video on ‘Ah Pui Kia’ at http://rediscover.sg/2011/08/through-thick-and-thin-episode-9/ "wanders the neighbourhood with his pushcart; a cart that had seen much of the excitement and vigour of the past" is very closed to my heart. Satay boy had grown from a young boy 3o years back to a middle age man now, and he still visit our block everyday to sell satay in the late afternoon.

Uncovering the legacy of a Nation through Memory Documentation by Pauline Loh (http://paulineltl.wordpress.com/) let us have some insight of Robinson Fire in 1972. Her interview with Mr Robert Tan (My friend, Ms Rosalind Tan's brother) on stage makes history told in an interactive mode. I could hear the event being told from someone who were working there. Pauline also documented his father in-law's life journey before he passed away. From the second stage interview with her daughter, we see how younger generation translate and understand "match making" in the real sense. I think Pauline have the best gift for her daughter and it is something many family in Singapore may miss unintentionally.

There are other sharing on Geylang and MOE Heritage Centre etc in the afternoon, and I know I will have more to re-discover Singapore in the coming year!

The WSQ Experience for Library Support Staff

After doing the assessment on 27 Jun 2011 for LAS WSQ Level 2 M3 Support Bibliographic Control for a group of NIE staff, I was invited to take a group photo with some of the support staff who were on duty that day:



Back row, from Left to right: Sean Lee Wee Leong, Pauline Ang Noi Joo, Tazila Bte SUFA'AT, Karen Tan Siew Kheng, Eunice Lee Yong Cho

========================================


Today, it is encouraging for me to click on the link below and view the comments and feedback from NIE support staff who attended the LAS WSQ Level 2 course:


The WSQ Experience for Library Support Staff http://libris.nie.edu.sg/blog/2011/08/01/wsq-experience-library-support-staff 05 Aug 2011


"Over the years, library paraprofessional staff have expressed the wish for some form of certification programme. To this end, the Library Association of Singapore (LAS) and the Workforce Development Agency (WDA) have collaborated to produce the first-ever Workforce Skills Qualifications (WSQ) for library support staff.


This new initiative has received a very good response from the NIE Library support staff - more than 60% have already received at least 3 WDA/LAS Statements of Attainment."

...


"Participants of the programme found the training useful. The course content either acted as a refresher for what they already knew, or provided exposure to other areas of library work they were not familiar with. Participants also enjoyed interacting with library officers from other institutions and sharing their work experiences.


According to our survey, a majority of staff would recommend the five WDA/LAS Level 2 programmes to any current library support staff or those keen to take up library work. Some agreed that getting a certificate would be ideal for people without a diploma, if they had the assurance that the certification would be recognised by the industry."

Journey of the Book

Follow one book in high-speed from arrival at the library through processing and onto the shelf.

Journey of the Book
University of Illinois Libraries
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lleGk0usLI8



If I had found this video before my Bib Control training last week, I could had saved a lot of time detailing the process to candidates who had no or little cataloguing experience.

Nevertheless, I think using the analogy of "I am a book" to share the journey of a book, and describe how it is being "accession", "bar coded", "classified", "label with call number" and put on the shelf is an interesting role play that I enjoy acting.

The humour of a talking and walking book which lead the tour of the journey also created a different impact on the audience!

LibraryThing: Future of Cataloging

I was looking for some references for Bib Control and found the followings:

Part two of his 18-minute screencast on the "future of cataloging" for a panel at the American Library Association's 2008 conference.

What is LibraryThing?

"LibraryThing is a cataloging and social networking site for book lovers."

"LibraryThing helps you create a library-quality catalog of books: books you own, books you've read, books you'd like to read, books you've lent out ... whatever grouping you'd like."

"Since everyone catalogs online, they also catalog together. You can contribute tags, ratings and reviews for a book, and Common Knowledge (facts about a book or author, like character names and awards), as well as participate in member forums or join the Early Reviewers program. Everyone gets the benefit of everyone else's work. LibraryThing connects people based on the books they share."

"LibraryThing is a cataloging and social networking site for book lovers."

I think it is a new trend in cataloguing personal library collection, and from the statistics, it is gaining popularity!


"Enter 200 books for free, as many as you like for $10 (year) or $25 (life)." It is easy to start free and affordable even if you want to join "Life" membership!

I run a search on "Singapore" and it returns with "About 1,976 results". The hit list included a lot of travelling guides and some good reference titles and good local imprints.

It is interesting to browse the library owners' profile and get to know people who collect books that you like. The library owner are book lover and willing to catalogue them and share their reading interest!

OCLC record: Ho Soo Miang: part 4

Source of information:
http://www.worldcat.org/wcidentities/np-ho,%20soo%20miang


General public who has no access to OCLC Cataloguing Account, can do a google search and may also get WorldCat records. If they know how to access WorldCat direct via http://www.worldcat.org/, they can find the records with much ease.


The search at http://www.worldcat.org/ is like OPAC search. Viewers can read the full records, but cannot have access to MARC format.

The search at http://connexion.oclc.org/ that we use in LAS WSQ Level 2 Support Bibliographic Control allows trainees to view MARC records and get links on MARC tags and fields/subfields.


I did a few google searches tonight and noted that under "何舒敏", "Soo-Miang Ho" or "Ho Soo Miang", and "新加坡最早的華文日報 : 叻報 (1881-1932)" I was led to the above WorldCat summary for all my works in various editions, held by 9 +3 libraries worldwide.


Here are the first records I found with OCLC record number:




1 edition published in 1979 in Chinese and held by 3 libraries worldwide






In summary, my work on the history of Lat Pau has a total of 6 records in OCLC WorldCat and they are:


新加坡最早的華文日報 : 叻報 (1881-1932) by 何舒敏( Book )1 edition published in 1979 in Chinese and held by 3 libraries worldwide
OCLC record number: 51791659



新加坡最早的華文日報 : 叻報 (1881-1932) by 何舒敏( Book )1 edition published in 1979 in Chinese and held by 0 libraries worldwide

Hsin-chia-pʻo tsui tsao ti Hua wen jih pao, Le pao, 1881-1932 = The earliest Chinese newspaper of Singapore, the Lat pau, 1881-1932

published in 1979 in Chinese and held by 1 libraries worldwide

OCLC Number: 663453095

= The earliest Chinese newspaper of Singapore, the Lat Pau, 1881-1932 / Ho Soo Miang
OCLC Number: 10133172



It is an interesting experience for me to explore OCLC WorldCat and OCLC Connexion. With this experience, I am able to understand and appreciate detailed cataloguing works done by cataloguers in various countries.


Cheers for the day! Even though I am rather exhausted now!

OCLC record: Ho Soo Miang: part 3

While searching for cataloguing example for MARC tag 041 "Language Code" to clear the doubt of one candidate for Module 3 Support Bibliographic Control this evening, I found with joy the following OCLC record number "654390268" of my previous work:

The earliest Chinese newspaper of Singapore, the Lat Pau, 1881-1932
新加坡最早的華文日報: 叻報 (1881-1932)

041 is being used:

041 0_ $a chi $b eng

in this case:

First Indicator
Translation indication
0 - Item not a translation/does not include a translation

Subfield Codes
$a - Language code of text
$b - Language code of summary or abstract

Source of information:
http://www.loc.gov/marc/bibliographic/bd041.html

To enlarge the image, just click on it:


In addition, I noted that the item is now available from Google Book.

Even though it is not available for sale, its content is available for searching using the search box "From inside the book" or browsing via the following keyword index:

The earliest Chinese newspaper of Singapore, the Lat Pau, 1881-1932

新加坡最早的華文日報: 叻報 (1881-1932)

When I click on "葉季允", the editor of the earliest Chinese newspaper of Singapore, the Lat Pau Press, I get the following texts:

1906 未见,因此笔者认为,在叶季允辞去编务〔 1904 〕之前,何渔古为叻报主笔之一, ... 同注 173 ,叶季允于二十一岁任叻报主笔,以其任期四十一年推算,逝世时实^应为六十 ...

Although the OCR (Optical character recognition) is not able to read and transcribe all the Chinese Characters in the text correctly, knowing that it is done and available in "Electronic Resource" is still a great discovery for me.


Hence, I think those who are interested in researching the earliest Chinese newspaper of Singapore will be able to source for my writing with ease via Google Books (http://books.google.com/books?id=rO59AAAAIAAJ)!

Some trainees wanted to know if the same e-copy was available from NLB. So I did a search and found it in BOOKSG which had the entry with a different cover page show at

http://sgebooks.nl.sg/detail/9928cc9b-b855-4c77-aa55-78653ca5b805.aspx

WDA CET Qualification Award

I was alerted by one of our training candidate today on:

CET Qualification Award (CQA) from WDA
http://app2.wda.gov.sg/web/contents/Contents.aspx?ContId=1215

What is it?

"The new CET Qualification Award (CQA) aims to encourage workers, who are Singapore Citizens, to attain full qualifications that will equip them with a more comprehensive skills set.

This will be especially beneficial for those who may have missed out on formal qualifications, those seeking a career change or those for which a formal qualification is beneficial to their career progression or job search.

From 1 March 2011, Singaporeans who successfully complete and are awarded a subsidised part-time Diploma at the Polytechnics or a WSQ Diploma/Specialist Diploma for the first time will be eligible for a CET Qualification Award (CQA) of $1,000.

Singaporeans who successfully complete and are awarded a WSQ Certificate/Higher Certificate/Advanced Certificate or a part-time NITEC/Higher NITEC for the first time will also be eligible for a CET Qualification Award (CQA) of $200. "

Source of information:
http://app2.wda.gov.sg/web/contents/Contents.aspx?ContId=1215

For LAS WSQ candidates who completed all the 5 modules under Level 2 training and obtained a WDA Higher Certificate in Library and Information Services (HCLIS) after 1 March 2011, may write to WDA and ask for more details on CET Qualification Award (CQA).

If you get $200, it is something additional for your income. I think this incentive may motivate many support staff to sign up for all modules as their hard work in completing the course do add dollars and cents to their pockets!

Cheers!

Bib Control links: pt 11 (Virtual Union Catalogue)

Virtual Union Catalogue in Singapore

SILAS (Singapore Integrated Library Automation Services) maintains National Union Catologue which is an information retrieval system to search and display items from member libraries

Virtual Union Catalogue

http://www.vuc.sg/

Virtual Union Catalogue The Virtual Union Catalogue (VUC) provides a single point access to search the collections of participating libraries.

The VUC Project
The VUC Project in Singapore is a collaborative effort among the Institutes of Higher Learning, Academic and Research Institutes and the National Library, Singapore.

The project allows users to do a single search across all catalogues of the participating libraries, online, without having to maintain a centralized catalogue. Real time searches will be conducted in various catalogues using the Z39.50* protocol with the results harvested and pooled.

The catalogue has been tentatively scheduled for launch in May 2009.

The participating libraries in the VUC are:

1. Institute of Southeast Asian Studies (ISEAS)
2. Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP)
3. Nanyang Technological University (NTU)
4. National Institute of Education (NIE)
5. National Library Board (NLB)
6. National University of Singapore (NUS)
7. Ngee Ann Polytechnic (NP)
8. Republic Polytechnic (RP)
9. Singapore Management University (SMU)
10. Singapore Polytechnic (SP)
11. Temasek Polytechnic (TP)


*Z39.50 is a client-server protocol for searching and retrieving information from remote computer databases.

The VUC Project Status

The VUC Project Phase 3 started off with workgroup sessions attended by representatives from the participating libraries in Singapore. The first session, held in April 2008, gathered and confirmed the specifications and requirements for the new VUC interface and system. Technical information from individual libraries was subsequently collected so that the new system could be set up to tap into their catalogue.

The staging site was set up in September 2008 with all participating libraries briefed on the systems capabilities.User Acceptance Tests (UATs) were conducted in February and March 2009 and Phase 3 of the VUC will be ready for launch in May 2009.

Through this program participants contribute authority records for names, uniform titles, and series to the LC/NAF. An individual institution may join this program, or a group of libraries with a common interest may form a funnel project to contribute records via a coordinator.

Maintaining consistency in the heading form used to represent an access point

Showing relationships among names, works and subjects

For more details, visit:
http://www.loc.gov/catdir/pcc/naco/


Using Library of Congress Authorities, you can browse and view authority headings for Subject, Name, Title and Name/Title combinations; and download authority records in MARC format for use in a local library system. This service is offered free of charge.

The Library of Congress Online Catalog has proven so popular among cataloguers who do not have any paid subscription for Marc Records.
After you used the "Basic search" you use "MARC Tags Display"
The MARC Tags display includes the full bibliographic information, including the "fixed field" or fixed-length data elements and locally defined fields, with the field tags and content designation specified by the MARC 21 format, a communication standard that enables exchange of bibliographic, holdings, and other data among electronic systems. The leader is displayed; the directory is not displayed.

All record displays include the call number by which materials must be requested.

Some information displays as a hypertext link (in blue and underlined). Selecting a link launches a search for related records.

Consult the Full Record display for the most complete labeled display of bibliographic information. To focus on subject headings, and any information summarizing and/or classifying the content of the work, consult the Subjects/Content display.

Sears Subject Headings
http://www.slais.ubc.ca/courses/libr517/03-04-wt2/projects/KidsCatWeb/Sears/SearsLayout.html


"General background

The Sears list of Subject Headings for School and Public Libraries was the work of Minnie Earl Sears who consulted the catalogues of smaller libraries in order to respond to requests made by librarians who wanted to have a subject vocabulary that was less complex than LCSH. There are many similarities between the LCSH and the Sears headings: both lists are essentially alphabetically arranged subject lists of precoordinated subject terms that allow the use of subdivisions. Literary warrant guides the creation and usage of headings, and both aim to achieve the greatest level of specificity in subject analysis."

Minnie Earl Sears
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnie_Earl_Sears


"Minnie Earl Sears (17 November 1873 – 28 November 1933) formulated the Sears Subject Headings, a simplification of the Library of Congress Subject Headings.

Life and work
Sears was a native of Lafayette, Indiana, and was awarded a B.Sc. from Purdue University at age 18, the youngest graduate in her class. She received an M.Sc in 1893. In 1900 the University of Illinois awarded to her a Bachelor of Library Science degree.

Sears had a long career as a cataloguer and bibliographer at a variety of libraries (Bryn Mawr College, University of Minnesota, New York Public Library), before she joined the publishing company H. W. Wilson Company in 1923 to publish her List of Subject Headings for Small Libraries. The book provides a list of subject headings for small libraries to use in lieu of Library of Congress Subject Headings. Library of Congress headings are often not as useful for small libraries because they are too detailed. Sears’ List of Subject Headings also offers small libraries guidance on how to create their own new subject headings consistently when necessary.

In order to create her subject headings, Sears consulted small and medium sized libraries throughout the country to discern patterns of usage. She then developed her own system, based in part on the Library of Congress Subject Headings, but with a simplified subject vocabulary. In Sears’ system, common terms are much preferred over scientific and technical terms. Her system also allowed individual libraries the authority to create their own subject headings. The Sears model is not meant to serve as a standardized bridge for union catalogs, but rather as a model “for the creation of headings as needed”.

"History and Current Use"

'The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system is a general knowledge organization tool that is continuously revised to keep pace with knowledge. The system was conceived by Melvil Dewey in 1873 and first published in 1876. The DDC is published by OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. OCLC owns all copyright rights in the Dewey Decimal Classification, and licenses the system for a variety of uses.

The DDC is the most widely used classification system in the world. Libraries in more than 135 countries use the DDC to organize and provide access to their collections, and DDC numbers are featured in the national bibliographies of more than 60 countries. Libraries of every type apply Dewey numbers on a daily basis and share these numbers through a variety of means (including WorldCat, the OCLC Online Union Catalog). Dewey is also used for other purposes, e.g., as a browsing mechanism for resources on the web."

* Library classification






"A library classification is a system of coding and organizing library materials (books, serials, audiovisual materials, computer files, maps, manuscripts, realia) according to their subject and allocating a call number to that information resource. Similar to classification systems used in biology, bibliographic classification systems group entities together that are similar, typically arranged in a hierarchical tree structure. A different kind of classification system, called a faceted classification system, is also widely used which allows the assignment of multiple classifications to an object, enabling the classifications to be ordered in multiple ways." ...

* Dewey Decimal Classification
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC, also called the Dewey Decimal System) is a proprietary system of library classification developed by Melvil Dewey in 1876; it has been greatly modified and expanded through 22 major revisions, the most recent in 2003.[1] This system organizes books on library shelves in a specific and repeatable order that makes it easy to find any book and return it to its proper place. The system is used in 200,000 libraries in at least 135 countries."...

Library of Congress Classification
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


"The Library of Congress Classification (LCC) is a system of library classification developed by the Library of Congress. It is used by most research and academic libraries in the U.S. and several other countries. It is not to be confused with the Library of Congress Subject Headings or Library of Congress Control Number. Most public libraries and small academic libraries continue to use the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC)."

"The classification was originally developed by Herbert Putnam in 1897, just before he assumed the librarianship of Congress. With advice from Charles Ammi Cutter, it was influenced by Cutter Expansive Classification, and the DDC, and was specially designed for the special purposes of the Library of Congress."

"The new system replaced a fixed location system developed by Thomas Jefferson. By the time of Putnam's departure from his post in 1939, all the classes except K (Law) and parts of B (Philosophy and Religion) were well developed. It has been criticized as lacking a sound theoretical basis; many of the classification decisions were driven by the particular practical needs of that library, rather than epistemological considerations."

"Although it divides subjects into broad categories, it is essentially enumerative in nature. It provides a guide to the books actually in the library, not a classification of the world."

InfoHost User Group Meeting 2011

iGroup/InfoHost host their User Group Meeting today and I was invited to join this event.

InfoHost User Group Meeting 2011

Date: Friday, 4th November 2011
Time: 0830-1400hrs
Venue: Orchard Hotel Singapore, Orchard Ballroom I, Level 3, 442 Orchard Road, Singapore 238879

They have specially invited 3 distinguished speakers for this meeting:

- Dr Scott Nicholson (Associate Professor), School of Information Studies Syracuse University

- Mr John Shipp (University Librarian), the University Of Sydney

- Mr Michael B. Morgan (President & CEO), Morgan & ClayPool Publishers to share with us their expertise and insights.

Dr Scott Nicholson interesting talk is on “Gaming Programs for Academic Libraries”

Mr John Shipp on “Extreme-E” and Mr Michael B. Morgan on “Beyond Ebooks” at the event.

They have also included an exhibition area to showcase the latest products and offerings from represented publishers.

10 Seats was allocated for LAS for this event and I appreciate Ms Susan Pey personal reply and her warm reception at the meeting.

I think my best harvest for the day was getting re-connected with friends and counterparts from various libraries and updating my knowledge and understanding of the Gaming trends in General and their applications in the library! That will add new juice for my training in LAS/WSQ Level 2 courses.

Extreme-E and Beyond Ebooks ignites my desire to look into e-books interactive format and innovative publication in details!

I think Ebooks has its new dynamics that evolve itself from still pdf or audio book. When it become more comfortable and interesting to reader, it will be accepted and I think printed books that we have will become valuable "collectable items" in years to come!
