Dear Sir/Madam, Now the time has come to Re-think ourselves for the changing scenarios in this era towards Technology. we are moving to paperless society and another side this technical Meshap.

library vs facebook and twitter
by aditi gaur 06 Sep '11

06 Sep '11

Hi I have been reading the various posts on the topic. I do believe that libraries cannot be replaced by any of the above. I would say Twitter is a forum where you can 'take from' interesting things such as eol.org from the Smithsonian site as a source of interactive information. There are knowledgable people out there whose posts are a pleasure to refer to. At the same time, I use Facebook as a forum to 'give' information culled from Twitter for the kind of audience who is into more lighthearted things. Some things seem to catch their interest thankfully. However, a library is a library. Flitting from site to site is no match to reaching out from book to book. Internet 'comments' are no match for discussions initiated by libraries. And being amidst human beings is no match for isolated grasping at information. In modern days I would say the library is the greatest stress buster ever. I wonder why no one talks of this in their myriad writings on how to lead a tension free life. Internet gives me tension! Let's go back to human interface. I am not in the librarian profession so I hope I am excused for immature comments if any.

Dear Friends, Its true Social media services cant replace libraries. But, libraries can make use social media services for marketing library services and keep in touch with library users. Many prestigious libraries from abroad are make using social media services effectively for interacting with users. In India, very few library professionals are familiar with social media services and its use. If we visit library web sites from other countries, socially media services are integrated successfully in websites. Indian library websites are very poor and contents are static. Very few prestigious libraries in India have decent website. Majority of library professionals in managerial positions are not keeping in touch with dynamic technology and less empowered in taking decision on technology adoption. They are forced to implement technologies in libraries without proper feasibility studies. We can think loud about social media and other innovative web services in Lisforum. A very sad situation is that library professionals organizations and library science schools in India still follows head in sand approach towards innovative technologies and services!!! -- Vimal Kumar V.
