Electronic Library

In discussing the electronic library various terms have been used almost interchangeably: the electronic library, the virtual library and the digital library. The electronic library is part of a wider networked environment which offers access to a wide range of materials including internal management information about the host institution and its working environment. It is an organized environment yet paradoxically facilitates extremely anarchic patterns of use. User understanding or lack of it will necessarily influence judgments about its effectiveness. Users may view it as just a collection of computers in a room or as a collection of software packages and networked services which have no essential link with electronic information. It gives virtual access to book and journal collection and database. Some of data contained in these services may be bibliographical control data or metadata, rather than full text. Sources might include bibliographic database as well as full text sources and paper sources which are, at least, ‘virtually’ accessed through the OPAC. It augments the traditional materials provided by library service with electronic to datasets and images such as video clips which might be used for educational purposes. The service is less building and direct access dependent than the traditional library. The library is the interface to electronic data providing remote access including 24 hour access. Navigational aids and resources are usually provided in the form of ‘hot linked’ web pages. The electronic library redefines the concept of the user and introduces the idea of the ‘virtual visitor’ or user. The user is no longer someone who ‘comes in’ and observes set opening hours. There is no defined service period. Users may be accessing the electronic library remotely from home or work and may be seen only infrequently by librarians. Skill levels of users are very variable and may not necessarily be defined by traditional stakeholder groups. It might be necessary to redefine stakeholder groups based on skill levels. Older people or non traditional students who conventionally have lower IT skills levels than full time students. There are likely to be ‘regular’ among the user group such as overseas students in higher education or enthusiastic school children in public libraries.

Automatically without thinking!

I am studying in English faculty now. On this semester I think I have a few progress in reading skill, but it is not make me proud because many of my friends get smart now so it is become my challenge to be more better I do not want them defeat me. Perhaps I have to add my effort to increase my competence. I know on internet always available the site that always supports education with free learning and one of them is “E-Compusoft Online English Training” this site was published by MR.TEGUH. Nowadays I am listening it before going to sleep, very amazing with a simple way he brings us become a speaker in good pronunciation, not professional but that can make sure if English is not difficult and when we try to speak in English sometimes we can ignore the rule of grammar because basically language is a means of communication and the important things that they understood about what we have told them. Even thought we must using body language to make it clearly and easy. I believe that there is no mistake in language when we communicate to somebody. What is appear only usual or unusual. And what we have to do is only speak over and over automatically without thinking. I hope I can do that as soon. To achieve that goal, I must overlap all my struggles especially in my campus. One of them is kill my shy, for this time I still feel that. For example when I get lunch in the canteen with my friends also, it is really hard to speak even just only one word. I had once tried to do that but suddenly the people who sat close with my table surrounding and look at me like the strange boy. What the hell…! I did not do such thing I just try to practice my competence in speaking. But now I do not care with those people that always think me a strange boy because I want get something here in my university and I will invite my friends in class to do the same thing like me. I know it will be hard to force what I want to them. But I am care, they must get something here. At least one of the fourth skills that English program offer and recommend for us, perhaps in this way I can improve my progress and they also no matter how difficult it just speak over, over and over until automatically without thinking. If we must make a rule like give punishment by pay one thousand because do the mistake because speaking in Indonesian language I will do that. Not only in the class but in outside too, because I am sure if there is a will there is a gain.

My best friend Adul

Hello, happy learning my friends! This is my first note in the semester five, so I have to say something about myself. Sometimes it is hard to introduce yourself because you know yourself so well that you do not know where to start. Let me give a try to see what kind of image you have about me through my self-description. I hope that my impression about myself and your impression about me are not so different. Here it goes. I am a person who is positive about every aspect of life. There are so many things I like to do, to see, and to experience. I like to read, I like to write, I like to think, I like to dream, I did not like too much talk, and I like to listen. I like to see the sunrise in the morning, I like to see the moonlight at night, and I like to feel the music flowing on my face. I like to look at the clouds in the sky with a blank mind, I like to do thought experiment when I cannot sleep in the middle of the night. I like flowers, rain in the night, and snow in mountain even it was only on television. I like to sleep early, I like to get up late, I like to be alone, and I like to be surrounded by people. I love my country, I like the beautiful lake in Cifor, and I like delicious food and comfortable shoes. I like good books and romantic movies. I like the land and the nature, I like people. And, I like to laugh. I always wanted to be a great singer, like Robbie Williams, or like Ronan Keating. They have influenced millions of people through their song. I also wanted to be a great lecturer like Professor Didi. Who could make peoples comfort. But I am just someone who does some learning, and some writing. But my dream is still alive. You know what? Yes, I want to become an English teacher and be a great merchant. I am the lucky man because I have a big family that always support me in everything. There are seventh people in my family: a father, a mother, three elder brothers and three elder sisters. We started our family in Jakarta, we then moved to Bogor, the most exciting city in west java. But now we lived in Cikarawang, the most beautiful village in Bogor. We all love Cikarawang. And the important thing I have so many of friends on my village, and one of them became my best friend. His name is Adul. He always helps me when I got trouble and of course I have to do the same thing like him even though I have to get hurt. I did not know why he so carefully to me and sometimes I felt that he likes my brothers. But now everything was changing and world is around, because I have move to Ciampea and went far on his life. I know it is hard but life must go on, I believe that he can made his dream come true because we have the same dream. Be an English teacher or the great merchant. Friend trust me, I would never forget you. Because of you I can survive here and my love would never die for you.
