shortcut keys Today most programs have a easy to use graphical interface. The main disadvantage to use the mouse and point in the different menus when working in a program is the slow speed you get. Most people that were around in the old days remember how fast they could edit by using a line editor. The time you spend in learning shortcut keys usually is paid back many times. Its is easy and fast to learn the shortcut keys you need. Start learning the keys now.

Date: Mon, 30 Jul 2007 13:35:09 +0530 From: K A. Sardesai <kshipras(a)rbi.org.in> "Open Library (Mailing List Admin)" Date: Tue, 17 Jul 2007 19:50:58 -0700 (PDT) Subbiah Arunachalam <subbiah_a(a)yahoo.com> write Friends: I am sure there are many socially committed LIS professionals with high software and programming skills in India and other developing countries who would like to help the new open library launched by folks at the Internet Archives. Please grab this opportunity to provide 'Shram dhan'. I the undersigned is interested in doing 'Shram dhan' but why to foreign organisation and we shouldnot initiate the same in our state,country.I always like to read the new horizons in LIS fields and I teach for Library cerificate course in Mumbai for two NGO's .I always feel that marketing or one can say the uses of libraries are not well spread among the societies.I tried to write in marathi paper but being not awell known person the same was not published.I wish the people like you, Dr Prasad and also satyanarayan and also madame S Murthy write about LIS it may catch the others. I always feel that karnataka and Andhra-Pradesh are well ahead for doing better perfomance in this field than Maharashatra. I always feel about the salary packages offered to MLIS professionals.This may be one of the reason that scholars are not getting attracted to our field. I am trying my best in Mumbai but I do not find that any library organisation eg BHOSLA is doing something good for our profession.I want your help and guidance. I want to work sincerely for our profession to bring it parallel to IT developments who are grabing our profession very badly.We librarians try our level best to update with new technologies but the opportunities ar for Librarians cum manager cum administration. Knowledge commission by sam Pitroda is on the paper not in practice for infrastructure of libraries and opportunities for LIS professionals. May I except a reply. Thanks and regards kshipra sardesai
