Library and Information work is not just about being able to
\nprovide information.<\/p>\n
Neither is it just about how to use book content pages,
\nindices, or being able to update loose leaf binder files.<\/p>\n
It is also about being able to interpret some of the
\nfollowing:<\/p>\n
– Telephone area codes.<\/p>\n
– Post Office sort Codes, or Zip codes.<\/p>\n
– Dewey Classification numbers.<\/p>\n
&<\/p>\n
– ISBN & ISSN Numbers.<\/p>\n
Of course there are a lot of other codes or information
\nsystems which one may be asked about during the course of
\na typical Library working day.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Here are just two examples that come to mind:<\/p>\n
– Banking sort codes.<\/p>\n
&<\/p>\n
– Cloud cover types.<\/p>\n
Just once in a while one will be asked about something upon
\nwhich there are no books upon the subject which are to be
\nfound within the library.<\/p>\n
Subjects which one has never thought about before.<\/p>\n
I was recently asked if I could find a book upon various
\nScaffolding techniques.<\/p>\n
It?s not the sort of thing most of us think about during the
\ncourse of our lives.<\/p>\n
It?s not just a simple matter of putting up poles and
\nattaching them to each other.<\/p>\n
The key to good & safe scaffolding lies in just how one
\nbraces what is puts up, while taking in to account the area
\navailable to use, and a weight loading.<\/p>\n
That is why my respect for scaffolders has increased
\nsomewhat during the last few months, and why I now catch
\nmyself admiring good scaffolding work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
