She had a dinner with me her favourite restoran, like my host library chiefs Mr. Wesley, Mrs. Patricia, and Mrs. Jill.

My 7th work day. Inthe Maryland State Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped

Tuesday, October 12, 2010

How Library of Congress National Library Service is organizing and managing library service for blind and physically handicapped community under the Federal Law, without disturbing commercail business.

My today's schedule was as below. From each learning in LBPH different rooms, I really understand above topic, why they use not only special technology and equipment, they must use encrypted and special file format to bring a library service to blind person's home without asking any money and without any postal cost pressure.

This special and professional state-wide library service guided by LOC NLS and funded by Federal Government. So all device, book is property of Federal Government, it's produced for special use.

Our Ulaanbaatar Public Library's DAISY Talking Book Center should think and implement this encrypted and special file formats or how library service must be organized for blind community without disturbing commercial products and services.

If we don't think about this in the beginning, when globalization will require us one service standard, we understand that, oh already made big mistake :-(.

I'm already on the way : My next OPEN-EYE journey starts here in Enoch Pratt Free Library

Dear All my contributors to my LIP learning,

First of all, I'm very happily can say that My Library Internship Program is continuing very successfully and luckily.
I'm already in half road of my internship days in Enoch Pratt free Library (EPFL) and Maryland State library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (LBPH) in the charming city Baltimore, MD.

All day I'm trying to translate my notes into Mongolian from meetings/learning sessions and still on the working. I just uploaded very special photos and daily summaries into my Library Internship Program Blog at http://lip-news.blogspot.com. I hope, it's a huge knowledge and experience, what I saw and learn from my host libraries.

Today, on Saturday, I participated to the 2 user group meetings in the LBPH, it was helpful to understand the library and community communications.

Tomorrow Sunday, it's my free day to work on my note translation.
On Monday, library will close for the Columbus Day /Staff Development Day/, but I organized my meeting to school class from my dearest host family.
I sure, the Monday and Wednesday meetings in the elementary school, and Thursday Presentation in the LBPH will be helpful to share my Mongolian experience and information.

My last days learning from the EPFL was very helpful to understand new ways in the EPFL, re-organizing, shifting staffs, especially a hourly schedule.

I really want to write my book about this internship program, it'll contain my daily notes and photos and others.
I sure, my future day learning in the LBPH will be helpful to understand special library services/technology for blind community.

Thank you for all, for your time and energy to me to make this successful internship.
Sincerely Yours,
J.Begzsuren

What is the COMPUTER COMMONS in the Enoch Pratt Free Library? Энэ номын санд КОМПЬЮТЕР, ИНТЕРНЭТийг ингэж хэрэглүүлж байна

Enoch Pratt Free Library-ийн төв нь гудамж руугаа харсан байдаг нь уншигч-иргэд шууд орж ирэхэд зориулагдсан байхаар шинэчлэгдсэн юм байна.

Орж ирэхэд өөдөөс тань Information Desk угтана, мөн цаахан талд нь байгаа Sights and Sounds танхимтай би маргааш 9-10 цагийн хооронд танилцах хуваарьтай.

Sights and Sounds танхим руу орох хаалганы 2 талд байгаа ТӨЛБӨРГҮЙ ИНТЕРНЭТ бүхий компьютеруудыг мөн цаана байрлах ӨӨР НЭГ ТӨЛБӨРГҮЙ ИНТЕРНЭТ БҮХИЙ компьютертай өрөөг Балтимор хотын иргэд төдийгүй Maryland стате-ийн хүссэн иргэн бүр хэрхэн ашигладагыг би танилцуулъя.

Information Desk-ийн зүүн хойд болон баруун хойд талд нийт 27 компьютерыг хана дагуулан байрлуулж,

Computer Commons гэсэн нэрлэж,

зүүн хойд талын компьютерууд дээр уншигч нь 30 минут зогсоогоор, баруун хойд талын компьютеруудын ард сууж 1 цаг интернэт, компьютерийг төлбөргүй ашиглах боломжийг олгож байна.

Эдгээр компьютеруудын цагийн хүсэлт, бүртгэлийг Smart access management төрлийн програмаар удирддаг.

Хэрвээ компьютер ашиглах захиалга очергүй бол дахин дахин хэрэглэж МАХИМУМ 4 цаг ашиглаж болдог.

Мөн өөр нэг өрөөнд Public Computer center гэж нэрлэсэн 2-4 цагаар сууж компьютерийг судалгаа, шинжилгээ, EBSCO гэх мэт commercial database-ууд, Job буюу ажилд орох мэдээлэл хайх, ажилд орох хүсэлт бөглөх гэх мэт мэдээллийн сангуудыг номын сангаар дамжуулан хэрэглэх боломжыг олгосон.

Дээрх Computer Commons талбайд хэдэн компьютерийг байрлуулахыг Designer-уудын шийдлээр, Private Fund-ийн санхүүжилтээр байгуулжээ.

Computer Commons талбайн наахан талын багануудын 2 талд Catalog Only гэсэн бичигтэйгээр зөвхөн Каталогоос Ном хайх зориулттай 4 компьютерийг байрлуулжээ.

Computer commons-ийн компьютерууд нь Агуулгын фильтертэй ба БҮХ ВЭБийг ашиглаж болно.

Харин Research Only гэсэн компьютерууд дээр video audio гэх мэт stream вэбүүдийг ашиглуулдаггүй.

My first day in the EPFL. 2010.10.4 Даваа гариг - Enoch Pratt Free Public Library-д

Өглөө 10 цагт хост айлаас Enoch Pratt Free Library руу Хараагүйчүүдийн номын сангийн ажилтан залуу Tyson авчирч,

Дээрээ Public Access-ийн 3 давхар, доошоо storage-ийн 3 давхартай Enoch Pratt Free номын сангийн удирдах ажилтан, State Library for Resource Center болон Central Library-ийн chief Wesley Wilson-ийн өрөөнд авчирлаа.

1983 онд library science -ээр graduate degree, дараа нь art history-аар

underground degree-ээ хийсэн, энэ номын санд насаараа ажиллаж байгаа энэхүү эрхэмтэй 10-13 цаг хүртэл ярилцаж, өдрийн хоолоо хамт идэж, 14-16 цагт дагаж явж Pratt Free номын сангийн зарим хэсэгтэй танилцаж, номын сан

д уншигчаар бүртгүүлж, буцаж өрөөнд нь өрөөнд зургаа авахуулсан нь энэ.

Энэхүү Enoch Pratt Free номын сан дээр дадлага хийх Даваа-Лхагва гаригуудын блог бичлэгүүдээ тус номын сангийн үүдэнд байрлах Pratt Cafe-д сууж, Америкийн банкаас санхүүжүүлсэн WiFi сүлжээг нь ашиглан оруулна.

Миний маргаашийн анхны асуулт бол, энэхүү 3 эсвэл 6 давхар байшин дахь WiFi-г Америкийн банк хэзээнээс эхэлж санхүүжүүлж ирсэн вэ, цаашдаа санхүүжүүлэх үү гэдэг асуулт байж болох юм гэж бодож байна.

Гэртээ байлгаж байгаа айлынхаа тухай

Балтимор хотын 2 номын санд Дадлага хийх 14 хоногийн хугацаанд намайг гэртээ байлгах айлыг эхнэрийг Angie, нөхрийг Bill, охиныг нь Sadie, хүүг нь Andrew гэдэг

Америк дахь эхний өдөр. Конгрессын Номын сангийн Азийн номын тасагт өнгөрүүлсэн 2 цагт

Конгрессын номын санг АНУ-ын Үндэсний номын сан гэж тооцож болно гэж бидний яриа эхэлсэн юм.

Тус номын санд 10-р сарын 2-ны Бямба гаригийн 14 цагт ОУ-ын Даллас онгоцны буудлаас шууд ирж Азийн хэлтэс дэхь Роман хэлний номуудын каталогжуулалтанд ажилладаг Мягмарын Саруулэрдэнэтэй уулзаж, номын каталогжуулалтанд хэрхэн ажилладагт нь бага ч гэсэн суралцлаа.

Тэрээр "Би номын санч биш, гэхдээ энэ мэргэжлийг ийм нарийн ширийн ажилтай гэдгийг Конгрессын номын санд ажилласнаар ойлгож мэдсэн, каталогжуулалтын MARC форматын зөвхөн өөртөө холбоотэй хэсгийг л хэрэглэдэг" гэж ярьж байна.

Seoul хотын Incheon ОУ-ын нисэх буудлын Korean Air Prestige Lounge-д сууж байна

Би Улаанбаатар хотын Чингэс хаан ОУ-ын нисэх буудлаас 10-р сарын 1-ны 23:15 цагт Korean Air-ын онгоцонд сууж, 3 цаг нисээд Сөүл хотын Инчеон ОУ-ын нисэх буудалд 10-р сарын 2-ны шөнө 2 цаг 15 минутанд газардсан.

Траниз нислэг гэсэн шугамаа дагаж явсаар, Korean Air-ын дамжин нисэх зорчигчиддоо зориулсан Prestige Lounge гэх нэмэлт төлбөр шаардлагагүй хоол хүнс, сандал ширээ, интернэт бүхий талбайд сууж байна.

Korean Air компанийн онгоцоор нисэхээр дамжин өнгөрч байгаа зорчигчиддоо ингэж анхаарал тавьж байгааг нь харахад хүний төлөө бизнес гэж үүнийг хэлдэг байх даа гэж бодогдож байна.

Сая манай Монголчууд гар тээшиндээ авч яваа архиа Солонгосын дамжин өнгөрөхийн шалганы ажилтануудад хураалгаж, шууд асгуулж байхыг харлаа. Соёмбо, Хар чингэс архиуд асгуулж байгаа нь нэг талаасаа хайран хүч хөдөлмөр, цаг зав, мөнгө хөрөнгөөр бүтсэн зүйл, нөгөө талаасаа хууль дүрэм журмыг тоож биелүүлж байх ёстойг дахин ойлгуулж байлаа.

Хэрвээ архинуудаа ТЭЭШИНДЭЭ өгсөн бол зүгээр байсан байх. Гар тээшинд шингэн зүйл авч явах хориотой болсон байх.

Одоо Монголын цагаар 10 сарын 2-ны өглөөний 5:02 болж байна. Солонгосын цагаар 6:02.

Би 10:40-д АНУ руу ниснэ. Энэ Prestige Lounge-даа өглөө халуун хоол нэмэлт мөнгө төлөхгүйгээр идчих шинжтэй байна.

Түр баяртай.
