Really we able to enjoy?
Technological advances resulted in labour saving devices for the home too. Nobody could deny the advantages of micro wave oven, hot water systems, flush toilet, or the bread maker, but have these technologies really given us more time to enjoy life as was their claim? Or have we used this time to become even busier.

Slow Movement:History When McDonald’s planned to build a franchise outlet in
Rome in 1986, Carlo Petrini and his followers organized a demonstration in which he eat bowls of pasta as weapons of protest.
Their demonstration was successful and soon after, Carlo founded the International Slow Food Movement which runs counter to the fast food, fast life, non-sustainable food production and the eroding of local economies.

What is slow food?
…aims to preserve cultural cuisine (preserve food plants & seeds, domestic animals and farming within an ecoregion). SFM has become a social and political movement capable of resisting the dehumanizing effects of large-scale, commercial food production and the fast food industry.

What is slow cities?
…a way of life that supports people to live slow. Traditions and traditional ways of doing things are valued. These cities stand up against the fast-lane, homogenized world so often seen in other cities throughout the world. Slow cities have less traffic, less noise, fewer crowds.

what is the slow book movement?
Motivate readers to choose more substantive reading material—serious literature that encourages thought and that broadens self-awareness. Slow Books is neither an pessimistic reaction to technology nor a nostalgic desire for the past—meaningful works of literature exist whether in electronic or print formats. Rather, the point of slow reading is simply to challenge minds and stimulate reflection—developing readers’ ability to think critically and to form new ideas.
Question then is media responsible against so-called slow…

The Medium is the Message
medium affects the society in which it plays a role not by the content delivered over the medium, but by the characteristics of the medium itself..
medium affects the body and the psyche in relatively unconscious ways; thus it is more powerful than the message, which largely appeals to the conscious mind...

Fast Food Industry and Information Industry
FFI impressionFood is ‘cheap’ and plentiful; eating is fueling up in as little time as possible, food should taste the same everywhere and where it comes from is unimportant.
Inf. Industry!The explosion of availability and great quantity of information, and how libraries operate, suggest that information is cheap and plentiful, that searching, evaluating and using information is a race I the finish line, that origin of information is irrelevant and content and form should be should be identical everywhere

Slow Library Movement ‘Slow’ is not used in the contrast of ‘speed’
SLM provides a framework for fostering the growth of sustainable libraries that will contribute in relevant and meaningful ways
SLM is most certainly not anti technology, digital technology, especially OSS may be the tool to facilitate different elements of SLM
There are six key elements of SLM as per Leggott : Education, community, local, craftsmanship, people and enjoyment.

Encourage users to be educated
Education should be bidirectional, with librarians, members from other professional and disciplines
Library should be open to learning from any and all areas not just LIS

Involvement with community
Foster involvement with and preservation of community as a role for library
SLM stress the important of an outlook contextualized by the particular community
Social tagging can involve the community

Advocate using local tools and talent Instead of paying high prices for services that are
inflexible and beyond the control of library use local product or open source products
Staff can build and modify to meet the unique needs of the library community
This requires commitment of staff training and time (which our admintration are disinterested mostly)
26-09-2013 15dp_2013_Slow_Library_Movement
Craftsmanship with best ingredients
The right components, features, and tools are important ingredients in the creation of the best services
26-09-2013 16dp_2013_Slow_Library_Movement
Pay attention to the people Library staff are more important than the technology
the create and use OSS, Web and 2.0 are wonderful tools but cannot be
compared with the abilities and passion of the people involved in the system

Obtain enjoyment
If we obtain pleasure from anything we value it. As people are social increasing communication and
connection between library and community will lead to pleasurable interaction
