I like Singapore Library online services

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007

These are some of the services that I like at the Singapore Library. Due to proper usage of technology, they are able to provide useful online services.

  1. Website has all the information on library resources, opening hours and events.
  2. eMagazines are available. The titles are wide variety from business, computers, fashion to travel. They are not the latest publish but never the less, provides good reading pleasure.
  3. eJournals and certain range of ebooks are avaiable as well.
  4. For those who still prefer to read from paper, yon still stay at home and yet be able to search the entire library catalog at a mouse click on the National Library Portal! Ok a few more mouse clicks actually to do that. Search, reserve the book and collect it at any of your preferred (nearest library). A small admin fee applies for this service. Someday, I predict they will delivered it to your home via Singpost.
  5. When you have a library book that is due to be to return, you don’t have to go all the way to the library to renew, you just have to visit the National Library website to login and renew your book!

So with services like this, lets make use of them read more books today!
