Hello World

Welcome to

Librarians for
Empowerment &
Advocacy for the
Disabled

This blog came about from the comments and discussions from my Starting a mailing list for Library Disability Services post (28 Apr 2006). After mulling over the thoughtful comments in the blog, as well as separate email discussions with other contacts, the crux of the matter seemed to be the name.

I came back from a morning jog on this Sunday morning, checked my email and there was a reply:

“… you shouldn’t lose too much sleep over the name itself. If in your heart you feel a strong conviction and passion that something should be done, then Just Do It! A rose by any other name smells just as sweet. Don’t be caught by semantics or technicalities. Push the envelope, experiment, try first and wing it as you go along. Doesn’t have to be perfect from the start.”

So I did.

Here’s sgLEAD — the blog and the discussion group/ mailing list. And we’ll see where this takes you and me. Yeah, I hope it’s more than me :)

    Congrats Ivan for starting yet another labour of love! I am sure that this discussion group will spur many interesting possibilities and help our friends with disabilities to better integrate into society. Best wishes.
