What has Puteri Gunung Ledang The Musical (PGLtM) got todo with libraries? Surprising as it may seem, it does have quite a

bit to do with libraries. I was very fortunate to have been offered a ticket bymy younger sister Aminah for the Sunday 26th performance at Istana Budaya.PGL The Musical was very well-executed, very professional and highlyentertaining. I enjoyed it tremendously unlike the movie. I daresay it is one ofthe best productions I�ve seen in Malaysian theatre so far. But as I sat andwatched the performance on Sunday night, thoughts of connections betweenthe musical and libraries came flooding my mind.

There are however some pre-requisites for librarians if you want to enjoy theshow. One of the most important is not to think like a librarian when you arewatching the performance. Do not question the factual basis or accuracy ofPGL, be it the identity of the Princess, story line, plot, costumes or dialogue.Accept the deviations from traditional knowledge about the legendary princessas artistic licence, just as writers have literary warrant when they write fictionof historical novels. Movie or theatre producers have a right to tell their storythe way they want to, even if by doing so, they deviate from accepted historicalbeliefs. So if you want to enjoy the performance, just sit back, relax and gowith the flow.

Firstly, the lead actress, Tiara Jacquelina, was superb in the role. She clearlyinternalized the character of the Majapahit Princess, Gusti Puteri Raden AjengRetno Dumilah. Her portrayal was absolutely convincing with her polishedacting, dancing and credible singing, not to mention her well-toned physique.She conveyed the emotional state of the princess with great feelings,expression and articulation.

I wonder how many librarians know that Tiara Jacquelina�s first acquaintancewith Puteri Gunung Ledang was not the movie? It was more likely themultimedia animation CD of Puteri Gunung Ledang produced by Mektoon forthe National Library of Malaysia (PNM) in 2001. It was the first animation CDproduced by PNM. At first an ordinary unknown voice was used for theprincess, mainly to cut cost. But it was clearly not effective. So it was decidedthat we should improve the quality of the princess�s vocals. True enough, theimpact of the story was enhanced when Tiara Jacquelina�s voice was used forthe lead character. She did make a difference. The CD is still being sold byPNM. Those who have not seen it can visit the National Library�s booth atthe Kuala Lumpur International Book Fair in (KLIBF 2006) on 24 March � 2April at the PWTC. Since 2002, PNM has a grandstand of 10 booths at thebook fair, so you can�t miss it.

Then, there is Sukania Venugopal who played the role of Bayan, the loyal,dutiful and loving lady-in-waiting of the princess. Sukania, an accomplishedstage actor and competent dancer and singer as well, was outstanding in herrole. She was easily the best supporting actress in PGL The Musical. Sukania�sbiodata in the souvenir programme book credits her with more than 20 yearsof acting experience in theatre. But I can vouch for the fact that it may havestarted in 1978 when she acted in the lead role of PPM�s first (and last) theatreproduction of the crime thriller �Night Must Fall� by Emlyn Williams. I rememberit well as I was the producer of the play with Pat Lockwood, a Peace CorpVolunteer at RTM as the Director. The play was produced as a fund-raisingactivity and played to a capacity crowd for five days at the British Counciltheatre at Jalan Bukit Aman. Tickets were RM5.00 flat rate. Sukania�s co-starin the play was none other than Mano Maniam of the popular TV comedyseries Kopitiam fame. For all you know she cut her teeth in theatre in the PPM

Selepas bersarapan pada keesokanharinya, kami mengambil masauntuk berehat sebelum ke PestaBuku yang dibuka pada jam 11.00pagi. Pragati Maidan, lokasi bagiPesta Buku Delhi kali ini, adalahsebuah kawasan yang luas danterdapat banyak dewan yang perludilawati.

Pada sebelah malamnya, kamimemenuhi undangan makan malamoleh Elsevier tapi kali ini jemputanadalah dari Perdeep Kumar iaitukawan lama bagi beberapaPustakawan yang terlibat denganlangganan ScienceDirect. Padajam 5.30 petang, kami menaiki basyang telah disewa oleh Kumar dankami dibawa ke Delhi Hatt untukmembeli belah sebelum majlismakan malam. Delhi Hatt samaseperti Central Market di KualaLumpur, tetapi konsep merekaadalah pasar terbuka di manabarangan kraftangan yangdihasilkan sendiri dijual denganharga yang agak murah danbarangannya pula berkualiti. Di sinikami diberitahu bahawa harga yangterdapat adalah tetap dan sekiranyakami tawar-menawar, penurunanharga yang diberikan sedikit sahaja.Selepas satu jam di situ, kamimenaiki bas semula untuk makanmalam di Taj Hotel. Taj Hotelsememangnya cantik dan ramai diantara peserta mengambil gambardi lobi hotel sebagai kenangan.Sebelum makanan dihidangkan,kami dihiburkan dengan tarianklasik India oleh sepasang penari.Walaupun perut terasa amat lapar,persembahan tarian klasik India itudapat menahan rasa lapar dan amatmenghiburkan.

pada jam 8.30 pagi, kami menaiki basuntuk melancong sekitar bandarayaDelhi. Bagi empat orang pesertapakej, ini merupakan lawatan kalikedua ke Delhi. Bagi mereka yangpertama kalinya tiba di Delhi,mereka agak terperanjat dengankeadaan trafik yang kucar-kacirserta pencemaran udara. Suhu pulaagak sejuk sedikit sekitar 11-150

Celsius pada siang hari dan 8-100

Celsius pada sebelah malam. Buatpermulaan, kami dibawa melawatGandhi�s Memorial, Delhi Gate dansebuah masjid tertua di Delhi. Kamijuga tidak ketinggalan untukmembeli-belah dan lawatan diakhiridengan makan tengahari di sebuahrestoran. Selepas makan tengahari,kesemua peserta dihantar kePragati Maidan di manaberlangsungnya Pesta Buku NewDelhi.

Ianya membawa balikkenangan yang kita perolehi dari bukumengenai zaman pemerintahan Britishdi India. Selepas makan malam, kamidihadiahkan setiap orang satucenderahati sebelum kami mengundurdiri dan mengucapkan terima kasihdaun keladi kepada Sascha.

Merak. Nasib kami agak bertuahkerana pada masa itu Maharajahpulang dengan menaiki jeep sertaditemani cucu beliau. Sempatlahkami mengambil gambar Maharajahyang duduk dalam jeepnya. Setelahpenat melawat bandar Jaipur kamipulang ke hotel untuk makan malam.Oleh kerana tiada masa langsunguntuk membeli belah, kamimengambil kesempatan untukmengunjungi beberapa kedai yangmasih dibuka di hotel tersebut.

Esok harinya, pada jam 7.00 pagi,kami berlepas ke Agra yangmengambil masa lebih kurang 4-5jam. Setiba di Agra, kami melawatAgra Fort di mana Shah Jehanditahan oleh anaknya Aurengzebkerana inginkan kuasa. Selepascheck-in dan makan tengahari dihotel, kami meneruskan lawatan keTaj Mahal. Kawalan keselamatan diTaj Mahal amat ketat di manabarangan seperti telefon bimbit,mancis, pemetik api, coklat, danchewing gum tidak boleh dibawamasuk. Kami perlu melalui pintukeselamatan di mana wanita dan

lelaki mempunyai pintu berasinganuntuk pemeriksaan badan dansemua barangan yang dibawamasuk perlu melalui mesin x-ray.Malangnya walaupun telahdiingatkan oleh pemandu pelancongkami untuk meninggalkan telefonbimbit di dalam bas salah seorangdari peserta telah membawanyabersama. Ini telah menimbulkansedikit masalah dan ianya terpaksaditinggalkan dengan pengawalkeselamatan. Untuk melawat TajMahal, kami perlu menyarungstoking plastik yang dipakai untukmenutup kasut bagi menjagakebersihan dan keindahanbangunan tersebut.

Setelah melalui pintu depan, kamisemua terpegun buat seketikadengan keindahan Taj Mahal yangsememang termasyur sebagai salahsatu keajaiban dunia. Taj Mahalmerupakan monumen yang dibinaoleh Shah Jehan untukmemperingati isteri tersayang,Mumtaz Mahal, yang meninggaldunia semasa melahirkan anakyang ke 16. Setelah mendengartaklimat mengenai Taj Mahal dari

pemandu pelancong, kami dibenarkanmenghabiskan masa untuk melawatdan bergambar sehingga matahariterbenam. Ramai juga yang tidakmelepaskan peluang untuk bergambardi atas kerusi di mana Princess Dianatelah bergambar dan kami juga tidaklupa untuk bergambar secaraberkumpulan sebagai kenangan.

Pada keesokan harinya, pada jam 8.30pagi selepas sarapan, kami berlepasmenuju Delhi. Sebelum meneruskanperjalanan kami sempat singgah dibeberapa kedai untuk membeli belah.Kami tiba di Delhi pada jam 2.00petang dan dibawa makan tengahari.Selepas itu kami dihantar ke GoodTimes Hotel di kawasan Karol Baghuntuk berehat sebelum berlepas kelapangan terbang untuk pulang keMalaysia. Dalam masa yang singkatitu., ada peserta yang mengambilpeluang untuk membuat last minuteshopping sebelum bersiap sedia untukpulang pada jam 6.00 petang.

Setelah berada di India selama 7 hari6 malam, kami semua sudah tidak sabaruntuk pulang. Pada saat terakhir,sebelum berlepas ke lapangan terbang,salah seorang dari peserta rombonganmenyedari bahawa telefon bimbitnyatelah hilang. Keadaan menjadi kelam-kabut apabila beliau mengesyakipemandu, penolong pemandu sertapemandu pelancong terdahulu yangterlibat. Sudah menjadi kebiasaanapabila barang kita sudah hilang, agaksukar untuk mendapatkannya kembali.Hakikat ini perlu diterima oleh pesertaberkenaan dan kami meneruskanperjalanan ke lapangan terbang dengansuasana sedih kerana kejadian itu telahmengguris hati kami semua pada saat-saat akhir lawatan. Walaubagaimanapun pengalaman padakeseluruhannya adalahmenyeronokkan dan tidak dapatdilupakan seperti yang digambarkandalam komen melalui email yangditerima dari peserta rombongan.

There are numerous definitions of information literacy. However, the definition put forward bythe American Library Association Presidential Committee on Information Literacy in 1989has been used as the basis for other definitions that followed. The Committee defined

information literacy by defining the attributes of an information literate person.

�To be information literate, a person must be able to recognize when information isneeded and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the neededinformation. Producing such a citizenry will require that schools and collegesappreciate and integrate the concept of information literacy into their learningprograms and that they play a leadership role in equipping individuals and institutionsto take advantage of the opportunities inherent within the information society.Ultimately, information literate people are those who have learned how to learn. They know how to learn because they know how knowledge is organized, how tofind information, and how to use information in such a way that others can learnfrom them. They are people prepared for lifelong learning, because they canalways find the information needed for any task or decision at hand� .

production!

Now that we have established positive links betweenlibrarians and PGL The Musical, I�m sure you are evenkeener to see it. Wait a minute, before you start watching,you buy a souvenir programme and surprise, surprise, youfind book writers from among the creative team of theproduction. The spell-check immediately underlines thisword in red. But no matter, my guess is they are responsiblefor the write-ups in the souvenir programme book. There isquite a lot of writing to be done as the Musical has a verybig cast. There�s also the synopsis and description of eachscenes which needs writing up, with illustrations, apartfrom biodata of all the main actors, including the danceensemble and orchestra. So, take note of this emerginggroup contributing to the Malaysian theatre literature.

If another by-product of the theatre is an impressive, well-written, well-documented, interesting, colourful andinformative book, librarians will no doubt find an additionalincentive in going to the theatre. While you are at it, checkif the book has an ISBN number and Cataloguing-in-Publication (CIP) data, as any respectable publicationshould have. Oh yes, PNM should also ensure that theproducers have complied with the Deposit of LibraryMaterial Act 1986, and deposited the five copies with theNational Library of Malaysia for preservation.

purposes. At the very last minute, the tour leader, EncikHasbullah had to withdraw due to an urgent personalproblem so I had to take over as the group leader.

The delegation was headed by our President, Puan PutriSaniah Megat Abdul Rahman. And we departed KLIA on25 March 2006 on flight MH 704 at 12.00. We arrived inManila at 15.45 and were met by a local agent for transferto Edsa Shangri-la for check-in. Security at the airportand Edsa Shangri-la was very tight. At the hotel, dogssniffed at our luggage and all our belongings werethoroughly checked before entering the hotel. Aftergetting our keys and rushing for prayers we assembled inthe lobby at 19.00 where the coach was waiting to take usfor dinner at a sea food restaurant called Zamboangafollowed by a cultural performance. Dinner was not to ourliking but we enjoyed the cultural performance. Afterdinner we headed straight hack to the hotel and were againsubjected to security check even though they know thatwe were staying at the hotel.

On the next day, immediately after breakfast, some of uswent to register and this was indeed a wise move sincethere was hardly anybody in the queue except for thoseon duty. We left for the city tour at 9.00 and being Sunday,we were spared the traffic jam. We visited the AmericanMemorial, Rizal Memorial, Intramuros and Fort Santiago

and finished the city tour with lunch at KashmeerRestaurant for a halal North Indian cuisine.

The afternoon was set for free and easy activities. Weassembled in the lobby at 18.00 for dinner at anotherKashmeer Restaurant except this one was inMandaluyong. The dinner, which was hosted by AccessDunia, was the best dinner so far and we felt so at homebecause they were playing Malaysian songs. Thank youAccess Dunia for that wonderful dinner and we certainlyhad a great time that night!

Monday was the start of the conference and everyonewas busy attending the exhibition and listening to paperpresentations. On Wednesday, we had to check out fromEdsa Shangri-la because it was fully booked and we movedto Crown Plaza. Much to our surprise, we found out thatthe hotel is quite new and the décor is modern.. We did

not really mind the move except when the shuttle servicedid not turn up to pick us for the farewell dinner since itwas caught in the traffic jam. We decided to go by taxito Edsa Shangri-la but it was difficult to get 3 taxis at thesame time. Finally the concierge managed to hail ajeepney which fulfilled one participant�s wish from dayone to ride a jeepney. It took us an hour to reach EdsaShangri-la because our jeepney was stopped twice bythe traffic police. Was it so obvious that it wastransporting Malaysian librarians? Finally we arrived atEdsa Shangri-la and can you imagine the history wecreated when our jeepney finally dropped us off at the
