Title: YourSingapore Exhibition
Date: 11 to 28 May 2012

The term ‘little red dot’ on the world map has been synonymous with Singapore. Although her total land area is no more than 704 km2, it has emerged as one of the most globalised countries in the world in the 21st century. Indeed Singapore, a nation of multiculturalism, is a gem to behold and has a lot to offer for both the locals and foreign visitors.
Lee Wee Nam Library would like to welcome you to delve into our photo exhibition on Singapore to have a snippet of our multiculturalism through the breath-taking photos, courtesy of the Singapore Tourism Board.

Over the years, the digital landscape has transformed immensely. In Singapore, social networking has a total audience of 2.7 million, representing 94.3% of the total online population*.
Clearly, with the advancement and increased adoption of mobile devices, mobile applications and relevant systems such as QR Codes offer users with better capabilities to access information and interact with each other socially in the digital environment.
What exactly are these platforms? How do they start? How do NTU Libraries leverage on them? This exhibition shares how NTU Libraries have leveraged on key digital content platforms and systems, i.e. QR Codes, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and WordPress, to stay connected and relevant to users. Background information for each of the platform is also provided.
