I am writing this in Singapore 24 hours after visiting the lovely city of New Orleans for ALA Annual 2011 .

Recently, I pulled everything I have read on the topic on Web Scale Discovery tools (e.g Summon, Ebsco Discovery Service or EDS, Worldcat local and Primo Central) together into a bibliography and posted it on the following Google Site on the topic started by Andy Ekins (Christ Church University, UK) and Lukas Koster (Library of the University of Amsterdam, NL).

I'll being attending ALA Annual 2011 at New Orleans in June thanks to support from my employers.

Augmented reality is one of the technologies that education and libraries industry is looking at, that might be the next big thing by complementing mobile. If you are unfamiliar with the idea, you point your device (smartphone or tablet) camera at an object and when you look at your device it not only shows the object but additional information overlaying it, typically some text, image or movie.

As we struggle with our day to day struggles at work, it is easy to get caught up in our own individual library projects (social media!

I recently attended and spoke at a library conference/seminar, Libraries for Tomorrow 2011 conducted by the Library Association of Singapore*.

In a earlier post, I wrote about some thoughts about having a real one-search box that includes content not just from articles &books but also guides, faqs, library webpages.

I'm really in awe with the way the New York Public Library (NYPL) uses social media.

Last year, my institution launched both LibAnswers (a Faq system) and LibGuides (a content management system that is wildly popular for libraries).

I suppose by now many of you have heard, I was named as a Library Journal Mover & Shaker 2011!

I've being recently thinking of how disparate in general typical library systems are.
