Internet Searcher's Handbook

Internet Searcher's Handbook is the latest weblog I developed. Aim of this blog is to introduce the trends and techniques of online environment particularly to the Sri Lankan academic and library community with the aim of equipping them with necessary knowledge and skills to be successful in the online information environment. Special features of this blog are:

• Search Tip of the Month (to introduce an effective search tip)
• Website of the Month (to introduce a useful local website)
• Specific Online Resources (to introduce useful Online resources)

The idea of developing this blog came to my mind during a workshop conducted by me for the academic staff members of the University on 09th July, on "An Introduction to Online Information Resources & Effective Online Searching Techniques ". I wanted to keep them regularly updated by sharing what I find. URL: http://ishandbook.blogspot.com/

A week of Library Profession

June 25th - July 3rd was an important & busy week for librarians. Because the NACLIS Conference and AGM of SLLA (Sri Lanka Library Association) was held on 25th & 26th June where as the International Conference & the AGM of ULA (University Librarians' Association) was held on 2nd & 3rd July. Both events were held in Colombo. I attended the SLLA AGM, where I was offered the Associateship of the SLLA, which was followed by a nice musical session in the afternoon. And also I attended both events of the ULA.
Quite a busy week, but with lot of opportunity to meet library professionals around the country after some time.
