Hi all,

Firstly, LAS would like to wish all of you a very happy new year or as the Chinese say for the coming Chinese new year coming up at the end of the month – 马到成功 (success with the arrival of the Horse – the coming Chinese new year will be the Year of the Horse).

As some of you may have heard, we are doing away with the physical printing of the directory of Singapore libraries. In its place, we are setting up a website called the Directory of Libraries & Librarians in Singapore. What we have set up also includes an ability for you (as libraries and librarians in Singapore), to be able to update and maintain the entry relating to you or your library.

The publications team would like to appeal to your help to put in the details that you would like to share with the rest of the community (you have control of what you want to let others know about you). Our advice is not to repeat whatever content you may have already built on another webpage – in fact, we would encourage that you embed a link in your entry to re-direct visitors to your own library/librarian pages if that is simpler for you.

Please note that each entry (whether librarian/library) needs to be tied to a specific email account (for controlled access purposes) – this email account will therefore become visible to people who visit the web pages. For those of you interested – please contact me at publications@las.org.sg – please state in your subject line DLLS. Please note as this is a free service for all Libraries and Librarians in Singapore, we will give priority to LAS members first.
