life-long skills

I hope to learn some life-long skills with this program, not just for my own benefit but for me to help the general public in the library.

I just went to the flickr site to look at the State Library of NSW pictures that have been tagged. Some of the pictures are really nice, others are quite boring. Some reveal the excellent architecture of the buildings.

Some people really display a talent in photography, they are truly amazing. The vast amount of books that are seen in some of the photographs never cease to amaze me. One can never read too many books. Isnt that right??
Also, the number of people in the photos remind me how popular libraries can really be. It is a true source for anything.....be it books, magazines, cds, movies, dvds, cdroms, etc etc etc. For those who say that libraries will become of no use in the futures, i believe that they do not know what they are talking about. The photos speak for themselves.

problem

I have discovered that blogging is not an easy task. Although, i enjoy the fact that i'm learning how to do it. Working in the library, i know i need to know how to do such things and keep up with the advancing technology in order to improve my service to the public community.

I enjoy other people's blogs. They provide an interesting insight into their working lives and their own expectations of this program. I can often see similarities between what they're thinking and what i'm thinking. That's funny. We are so similar yet, we are unrelated in any way besides being librarians.
