Caterpillar by Deepakshi
A drawing of Caterpillar by my daughter Deepakshi in her IV class. I took the photo with my SE 750i Camera Phone. I learned that these days Digital Cameras encode the metadata related to photograph in EXIF (Exchangeable Image File) data format. Isn't the importance of metadata growing like the Caterpillar?
Changing Nature of the Library Catalog
"Today, a large and growing number of students and scholars routinely bypass library catalogs in favor of other discovery tools, and the catalog represents a shrinking proportion of the universe of scholarly information. The catalog is in decline, its processes and structures are unsustainable, and change needs to be swift. At the same time, books and serials are not dead, and they are not yet digital. Notwithstanding widespread expansion of digitization projects, ubiquitous e-journals, and a market that seems poised to move to e-books, the role of catalog records in discovery and retrieval of the world’s library collections seems likely to continue for at least a couple of decades and probably longer".

Folksonomy
Folksonomy - < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Folksonomy > may not as effective if looked from professional angle. However, its big plus point is that - it works!!!. Take for example of http://del.icio.us - it allows people to save bookmarks on their server. And to allow organization of these bookmarks people can classify them broadly and loosely by some words. This actually allows ordinary people to build their own personal libraries of Internet Resources. They Select and Classify resources. They can use these whenever they want. Story does not end here – it actually begins. They can also share their libraries with others by just referring a simple URL. The end product is collection of Internet Resources, which the users have themselves selected collectively and classified collectively. Of course the individual items in the collection get ranked automatically based on how many people have book marked (Tagged).
This is a best future strategy for librarianship. Help each individual to build his own personal but shareable library. And such practice should be termed as “Social Librarianship”
