The future of libraries

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 .

Library thing

This is really a handy place for me to keep track of my personal reading and share it with other people. http://www.librarything.com/catalog/effimirmohamadi

Online generator

This part has been my favorite so far. I played with my Yahoo Avatar but had a hard time inserting it to my blog.I made my own Hollywood star through Generator blog which was fun to do and posted it to my blog and my Facebook account for the world to see.

RSS FEED

I have always been curious about the small orange signs on our website, but never knew how useful it can be. It took me quite a bit of time to figure out how to feed my favorite sites into my blog from Bloglines .
