Welcome to the first weblog issue for the Singapore Libraries Bulletin published by the Library Association of Singapore (LAS)! Starting with this September 2006 issue, we are going totally virtual without printing hard copies to distribute to LAS members. We are making use of the weblog platform with the aim of being more interactive, as members can add their comments to the articles posted as soon as they read it. We hope LAS members will enjoy the Bulletin in this form. We invite your comments and your feedback!
Mark your calendar (29-31 Jan 2007) as LAS is bringing you an opportunity to update yourself with the topics to be discussed at the LAS Conference!
Loads of activities happened in Singapore and we also had our librarians travelling to Kota Tinggi, Manila and even British Columbia in Canada. Unfortunately, two of our librarians have passed on and we pay our respects to them.
Hope you enjoy the articles! We look foward to your contributions for the next issue in December!
