Reading: The Key to Success

I was goin through the UG website the other day (don’t ask me why), and I stumbled across this piece of literature under the “Library” tab…

Mission Statement
“The University of Guyana Library will strive to support the teaching and research activities of the University. It will provide the necessary human resources and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to meet the requirements of the electronic age[…].”

I mean seriously? Deze people fuh real? Somebody PLEASE show me the electronic needs that UG library caters to. Show me the electronic database through which we can access our material instead of running around dem dusty aisles to find cobwebbed books from the 18^thcentury. Dey got sum nerve puttin dat stuff up on dey website. (smh)

Infrastructure technology involves issues such as networking, online information sources and labour saving equipment to reduce the cost of moving and managing books. Dem books in deh look like dey tired of livin…summa dem wishin dey cud commit suicide. Can’t blame dem though. Not a bit. They’ve outlived their purpose, but wuh? We still ga keep dem, cuz rite now, we can’t do better. And why we can’t do better? Cuz we don’t want to do better.

Any government that cares about the future of their people wud invest heavily in their education. We, unfortunately, are not privileged to have such in the sector. Instead what we have are a pack of egotistical, shady, inconsiderate punks who sit on their royal thrones, throw OUR money around and dictate our lives. It’s what they call a “Democracy.”

I gon jus take comfort in de assumption dat da mission statement got some serious “typographical errors.” This is what it is actually supposed to say:

Mission Statement
“The University of Guyana Library will strive, but not too hard, to support the teaching and research activities of the University. It will, hopefully by the next millennium, provide the necessary human resources and Information and Communications Technology (ICT) to meet the requirements of the electronic age […].”

P.S. I think the library would be an excellent place for paleontological research. We got material in deh mo old dan dem dinosaurs. I bet yuh they don’t know da…
