Life is not a game of Solitaire... it’s dependent upon those who stand beside you
Life is not a game of Solitaire; people depend on one another.
When one does well, others are lifted.
When one stumbles, others also are impacted. There are no one-man teams—
either by definition or natural law.
Success is a cooperative effort;
it’s dependent upon those who stand beside you.
--- Jon M. Huntsman Sr.
Bibliographic Utilities - Trove
Here is the contribution from another course participant, Prabhu Singam:
=====
National library of Australia catalogue is one of the most useful free bibliographic utilities with more than 400 million books, images, historic newspapers, maps, music, archives records that can be of prodigious help to catalogers.
A simple title search for a resource would illicit an array of results broken down neatly according to the material type.
Comprehensive information about resources including summaries of books can be obtained from the records at trove.
The ubiquitous availability of music scores bibliographic information with the Dewey decimal classification number makes trove one of my personal favorite tool for cataloging as the resources I catalog usually involves a legion of music scores.
=====
Thanks to Prabhu for his insightful sharing on Bibliographic Utilities - Trove
21 - 22 Jan are assessment days for this module "Support Bibliographic Control", I hereby wishing Prabhu and all the candidates all the best for the coming assessment!

“新华黍离之伤文学”座谈会
=====
日期：2015年1月3日（星期六）
时间：下午2时至5时
地点：新加坡国家图书馆大厦五楼
=====
世华文学研创会、书写文学协会于1月3日（星期六）联办 “ 新华黍离之伤文学 ” 座谈会
主讲人 : 欧清池博士、伍木及何逸敏
欧清池博士(世华文学研创会秘书、新跃大学中文系讲师)
讲题: 新马黍离之伤文学作品对比研究
何逸敏(世华文学研创会理事、南京大学中文系博士研究生)
讲题: 南大生诗歌中的南大情意结和文化思考
伍木(新加坡亚洲研究学会理事、南洋理工大学中文系博士研究生)
讲题: 牌坊筑我心,众志成明炬——读十四首咏叹南大牌坊的诗词
座谈会主持人 : 杜文贤 (卡夫)
=====
2015年1月3日座谈会，欧清池博士先从一个宏观的角度，做一个总论，向大家介绍何谓“黍离之伤”和他的理论基础，接着由何逸敏承接，以一个具有南大生的非南大生的诗歌加以详说，最后伍木则进一步从南大牌坊的诗词深入剖析“黍离之伤”作品的内涵。
三人在国家图书馆，由世华文学研创会、书写文学协会联办的“新华黍离之伤文学”座谈会上与百来位出席者，分享了这些年来研究的心得，让我们仿佛回到历史现场，感受着那早已忘却的沉痛与哀伤。
=====
欧清池讲题 : “ 新马‘黍离之伤’文学作品对比研究＂
=====
何谓黍离之悲( shǔ lí zhī bēi)
意思指对国家残破，今不如昔的哀叹。也指国破家亡之痛。
《黍离》全文
彼黍离离，彼稷之苗。行迈靡靡，中心摇摇。知我者谓我心忧，不知我者，谓我何求。悠悠苍天，此何人哉。(一章)
彼黍离离，彼稷之穗。行迈靡靡，中心如醉。知我者谓我心忧，不知我者，谓我何求。悠悠苍天，此何人哉。(二章)
彼黍离离，彼稷之实。行迈靡靡，中心如噎。知我者谓我心忧，不知我者，谓我何求。悠悠苍天，此何人哉。(三章)
出处《诗经》“王风”，历来被视为是悲悼故国的代表作，说的是两千多年前的一个夏天，周大夫行役路过镐京，看到埋没在荒草中的旧时宗庙遗址，有感于周室的被颠覆，悲伤而作【黍离】。描述了当一个人看到心中的理想大厦坍塌埋没于苗草中时的难受心情，这首诗两千年来不断被传唱着。以至于人们把发自心底的、失落的悲哀称作‘黍离之悲’。
南宋词人姜夔的《扬州慢•淮左名都》见《白石道人歌曲》。其词序云：“淳熙丙申至日，予过维扬。夜雪初霁，荠麦弥望。入其城则四顾萧条，寒水自碧。暮色渐起，戍角悲吟。予怀怆然，感慨今昔，因自度此曲。千岩老人以为有《黍离》之悲也。”
新华文学“黍离之伤”首先是由欧清池博士提出，后来伍木在此基础上延续成“伤痕文学”论点。接着一批研究新加坡华族文化，华文教育的研究者接连发表论文，围绕这一特殊语境中的文学作品，所谓文学作品中表达了“黍离之伤”的情感，悲切地关注方块字的命运为主要内容的“黍离之伤”之说逐渐成熟成一种学术流派。
（引自何逸敏《时代的黍离之伤——论新加坡诗人卡夫29岁前的诗歌》见《野姜花诗集季刊第九期，台湾爱华出版社，2014年6月，页194》
http://www.writingsingapore.com/?uid-169-action-viewspace-itemid-17252
欧清池博士的重点是梳理黍篱之伤的理论，出现的时代背景，和南洋大学的关闭、语言政策改变的关系。
他在演讲中比较新加坡当代文学作品与马国华文文学在内容特点、精神面貌和表现手法的迥异，并认为“新华当代文坛涌现了充满黍离之伤情思，是新加坡华人对本族文化逐渐消失的哀叹，而马国当代文坛出现错综复杂五味杂陈的情思的作品，却是抵抗马来精英政经文教霸权的愤怒叫喊的表征”。
欧博士说，马来西亚华人犹如是浸在冷水里的青蛙，只要一被加温，就会奋起力争。
新加坡华人则犹如是泡在温水里的青蛙，给了我们无限的想象空间。
如果不是欧清池博士独具慧眼，辛苦钻研，我们也许就不会发现原来建国后，新华文化人在面对文化与语言日渐没落时的哀伤。因为无法力挽狂澜，无能为力，甚至无处安身，最后他们唯有让长期被压抑的苦闷，寄情于文字书写，最终形成了一种“黍离之伤”的文学思潮。

=====
何逸敏讲题 : “ 南大生诗歌中的南大情意结和文化思考＂
=====
逸敏试图从南大生文学作品诗歌中对南大的情意结的表现，及其对中华文化意涵的思考这两个角度，来剖析南大生对南洋大学的难以割舍的、独特的情意结，从文学与文学文本论出发，演绎南大生诗歌中的内蕴本质与其创作的心理过程。
何逸敏的评论,《带着时代烙印的诗歌–南大生和“非南大生＂卡夫的诗歌作品》，重点是评论大时代下一个富有南大生情怀“非南大生＂卡夫的诗歌作品，语言政策的改变究竟是如何影响了他的诗歌创作。
=====
伍木讲题 : “ 牌坊筑我心，众志成明炬＂--- 读十四首咏叹南大牌坊的诗词
=====
他在演讲中以:
陈剑的《哀牌坊----惊闻传言有人蓄意要拆除南大牌坊》（1985年）、
成君的《楼牌?心台》（1985年）、
原甸的《哀牌坊》（1987年）、
杜红的《无名牌坊》（1987年）、
田思《牌坊》（1987年）、
潘正镭的《牌楼》（1987年）、
谷衣的《牌坊》（1996年）、
云惟利的组诗《南园风物》之一《牌坊》（1996年）、
秦林的《牌坊》（2001年）、甘文放的《一座牌坊》（2001年）、
万山的《野露湿牌楼》（2003年）、
长谣的《致无名牌坊》（2005年）、
寒川的《牌坊独语》（2012年）
和
翁弦尉的《幸福之门》（2012年）为例，
梳理以南大毕业生为主的在不同时期书写和咏叹南大牌坊的诗词的内涵。
如果不是伍木从时间的废墟中废寝忘食地挖掘，重组书写南大牌坊的诗词，弥补了这一段历史的空白，它们也许就会随着坍塌的大厦，永远埋没在云南园的荒草中。

Q&A:
丁云问所谓伤痕文学，究竟是“伤”在哪里？这是一个引人深思的问题。
张挥在发言时，提出一个新看法，应该先是伤痕文学的书写，后来才逐渐演变成黍离之伤文学。
一位在当年因为没有出路，而留学外国，攻读图书馆学的南大生现身说法，南大生需要自力更生，自强不息，方不会被人瞧不起！ 舒敏

Z39.50
The LAS WSQ "Support Bibliographic Control" module, Jan 6-8 just ended, and I am glad that all the 15 trainees were active participants. We have great information sharing sessions in this three days of "Support Bibliographic Control" course.
With all the sharing of participants, the course not only enrich the knowledge of trainees, but also that of the trainers like me.
I just want to highlight the contribution of Ms Elaine Fong, Teacher Librarian on Z39.50. Here is her email sharing:

I just want to highlight the contribution of Ms Elaine Fong, Teacher Librarian on Z39.50. Here is her email sharing:
=====
Here's my blurb for your blog.
We use Z39.50 as it is a reliable source of MARC records from the British Library for UK books.
Since we use Alliance Plus and Destiny from Follett , which are American, this is a good compliment for English language sources that are not from the US.
From our cataloging class, I also learned about Trove from Prabhu from SOTA which will be useful for Australian sources.
It is very reliable as the records come from the National Library of Australia.
With these three sources, we should have English language books covered comprehensively from around the world.
=====
Thanks to the sharing from Elaine on Z39.50 as a reliable source of MARC records from the British Library for UK books!
Prabhu (from SOTA Library) sharing on reliable sources of MARC records from Trove will be useful for Australian sources. Hope to receive more detail from him via email soon!
To all the participants, have a good break and rest well during the week end!
See you on 21 or 22 Jan 2015 for assessment!

Below the main clip, on the same Web page, there are 3 more video links not broadcast this morning! The video clips are quite detailed in showing all kinds of objects I used to demo the gift wrapping! I THOUGHT it was cut after filming and not used since it was not shown on this morning news!
Unlike paper wrappers which can be torn after the present is opened, soft cloth or scarf as wrapping material can be reused. Here is a simple way of using a scarf to wrap a square shaped present!

Wrapping wine is made easy if you use a square-shape wrapper. Just pull the four corners up, tidy up the fold, and turn all the folds in one circular direction. Add a bow to secure it, and no tape is required. With this method, the wrapper can be re-used and still look new all the time!
今天的《玩物壮志》请到“包装达人”舒敏，在圣诞节来临之际，为您提供一些包装点子。第二弹教您包装瓶装酒。
Wrapping a soft toy is not that difficult, if you create a bag using wrapper! Look at the video, and see how to transform a bag to a blouse.
今天的《玩物壮志》请到“包装达人”舒敏，在圣诞节来临之际，为您提供一些包装点子。第一弹教您包装形状不规则的毛绒玩具。

Card Catalogue
I used card catalogue in 1980's when I started my librarianship journey, at Cataloguing Dept, Institute of Education Library in Aug 1982.
My first task was checking the filing of card catalogue. Title/Author entries were interfilded, subject heading is on its own. Call number card and shelf list were the two that I used to confuse myself.
Checking of filing manually was time consuming and taxing to the eyes. I still remembered that I had a hard time looking at the A to Z filing and trying to following the filing rules of Word-by-Word (not letter-by-letter).
Standing at the card catalogue for two hours in one run, doing correction and explaining to support staff on how filing rules should be applied was not an easy task for a new cataloguer like me.
One of the day in the first month, I finished work at 5 pm and was exhausted, after heading home and have dinner, I rested on bed at 7pm, without shower.
I woke up at 7 am the next morning and realised that I slept for 12 hours. I was late for work and have to rush for public transport and managed to report to IE library at 8.30am. I did not have breakfast that day and my mind was spinning before morning tea break.
=====
The Author/Title, Subject, Call Number and Shelf List card catalogue in IE Library then were made in metal. They were all in gray colour.
There were some wooden card catalogue used for specially collection, like Thesis and IE publications etc...
Nowaday, it is hard to find any library with the wooden catalogue cabinets in Singapore.

If your library do have a sample of card catalogue and the catalogue cabinets, do keep it and it will be your institution's heritage collection.
If you have photograph of the old catalogue cabinet, and would like to let me share through this blog, just email me:

If you wish abundance...
There cannot be a sense of abundance or the experience of prosperity without appreciation.
You cannot find beauty unless you appreciate beauty.
You cannot find friendship unless you appreciate others.
You cannot find love unless you appreciate loving and being loved.
If you wish abundance, appreciate life.
