Cool Collection!

The new Cool Collection, i.e. books on Literature, Fiction, and some on Philosophy that we have received in the Library has become an instant attraction for the students and Faculty Members. Earlier most of our collection consisted of books on Engineering, and Physics-Chemistry-Mathematics books. The humanities section consisted mostly of books on Economics. It was somewhat dreary, I'll say. (May be not to the subject experts). So actually I am no less happier than the students about these new residents of our library.

We have Shakespeare, Dickens, the Bronte Sisters, Jane Austen, and also contemporaries such as Alice Walker (The Color Purple - ( fabulous book, check it out if you have not read it) ). There are many titles by Ayn Rand. Also present are many Indian celebrities such as Vikram Seth, Arundhati Roy, and Anita Desai.

The dilemma of a Librarian (and especially when one is setting up a library) according to me is that there are so many pressing demands on one's time simultaenously that one hardly gets any time to do what one is really passionate about. I mean, I could go on and on about this cool collection, however, I do remember that there are atleast 10 things that are just waiting for me to finish this already and get on to them.

So more about this in the next. If any of you have read any of the cool collection, please let us have your comments and recommendations.

Best wishes,

Anjali
