The future of libraries are in hands of Librarian 2.0 who would need to be multi-skilled , understanding the diverse needs of community groups and engagement with the community. The Librarian 2.0 should keep up with new technology and use it to meet customers needs and wants to overcome the challenges that are facing libraries.

Technorati

I spent more than 45 mintutes to explore Technorati and there are lot of things that I like to explore. I find this valuable tool very useful for libraries and librarians to enhance customer service.

Del.icio.us
I think this is a very useful tool. The immediate benefit is the fact that I no longer need to use the browser on my Laptop to keep track of my bookmarks . Another good thing is that I can share it publicly.

Rollyo
Rollyo would have been useful if it actually worked. I tried many times but it did not work for me . I think I have spent more than 45 minutes to work on this search roll . Sorry, it is time to move on to the next Thing .

Persepolis: The ancient capital

Persepolis Old Persian: 'Pārsa', New Persian: تخت جمشید/پارسه, 'Takht-e Jamshid' also known as Chehel Minar[1]) was an ancient ceremonial capital of the Persian Empire. The largest and most complex building in Persepolis was the audience hall, or Apadana with 72 columns. Persepolis is situated some 70 km northeast of the modern city of Shiraz in the Fars Province of modern Iran. In contemporary Persian language the site is known as Takht-e Jamshid (Throne of Jamshid) and Parseh. To the ancient Persians, the city was known as Parsa, meaning The City of Persians.

7/12 Habits

The easiest habit for me is number 1 which is the GOAL . I want to learn and become fluent enough to feel comfortable with new technology. I know , I can and will do it with the attitude that learning technology is not that hard if I accept the responsibility and have confidence in myself.

The hardest habit for me is mentoring and teaching others I am not good at that. I have never been a good teacher.
