Pak Jamil suggested that we start 'Book Building Project'.
Until today, I am still wondering what he meant by it.
When asked further, Pak Jamil mentioned that his professor started a book building project long time ago.
I was still in the dark as what he meant by it.
My initial construct about book building came from my friend Sue Halaweh when she was talking about book building project his son was having in school.
She explained it as a handmade book project from special parchment with writing, drawing and sketches just like the old Mark Twain's Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn books.
Off course, she was an interlibrary loan personnel at Ellis Library at University of Missouri - Columbia back then.
The image that we both had in our mind about the word at first was more like the tower of books or hundreds of books being arranged to look like buildings.
A thick book does resemble a red brick albeit bigger in size!
Later on, I learned a different meaning for the word 'book building.
I was in Finance 101 class.
That was when I started to link the words 'book building' with investments, IPO, funds and whats not!
Perhaps, for a layman the term 'book building' simply refers to a building with full of books inside it - The Library! El Biblioteca!
Could it be that what Pak Jamil meant was that we ought to start collecting books, seeking book donations, or conduct a book drive and make all these books available at every nook and corners of the buildings at Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin campus be it the hostels, cafeteria, hallways, classroom buildings and faculties?
I like the idea! :)
Lets start a book drive!
Get our students to read more and more!
Off course, the books written in English language were what we have in mind!
Now, do we need to write a proposal and submit it to the faculty for approval?
Y.E.S.
wait till I come back from Sabah. :)
Happy Holidays!
Don't forget! Please prepare early for final examinations!
