Should not be a librarian anymore

Posted by Hazman Aziz On August - 15 - 2009Comments Off

This actually reminds me on of a posting on Channelnewasia.com about, “Survey shows Gen Y S’poreans tend to job-hop, prefer younger supervisors”. Let’s me summaries:

SINGAPORE : … According to its recent survey, 7 in 10 Generation Y workers aged between 19 and 30 think it is normal to job-hop, and they also want instant recognition for their work.

… The survey also revealed that Generation Y workers prefer younger supervisors who are aged 40 and below, and they expect them to be open minded, understanding and easy to get along with…

…The institute said companies should review their existing HR practices and adopt more flexible policies for this group of workers. – CNA /ls

And, come to thinking again, the statement report is true. But, if I am to move on, what is my next career choices. By end of September this year, I have been working exactly 2 years in an academic library. And, what are the projects that I have been involved between 2006 to 2008:

What’s wrong being a Normal (Academic) student

Posted by Hazman Aziz On August - 15 - 2009Comments Off

Miss Singapore World: from Normal stream to NTU Dean’s List
TNP (14 Sep 08, Pg 8-9) and SMDN (14 Sep 08 Pg 3) featured Ms Faraliza Tan, the reigning Miss Singapore World and a Communication Studies undergraduate student at NTU’s Wee Kim Wee SCI. The report noted that Faraliza has been on the Dean’s List for three consecutive years since 2005, which means she is in the top 5 percent of the cohort. She was once a Normal (Academic) student who worked hard and was eventually transferred to the Express Stream at the end of Secondary One. She aspires to work in broadcast journalism or programme acquisition one day. She has recently completed her six-month professional internship at MTV Asia, where she assisted with the allocation of shows to suitable time-slots, and doubled as an award-presenter during the MTV Asia Awards. She shared that she joined the Miss Singapore World pageant to overcome the insecurity she felt about her looks and to boost her self-confidence.

Library 2.0 & WordPress

Posted by Hazman Aziz On March - 31 - 2009Comments Off

It has been almost about 3 years, I have explored WordPress with Library 2.0. Lately, my library has upgraded to WordPress 2.7. Have the librarians in my library noticed any interesting changes to their blog lately?

Well, I have upgraded to WordPress 2.7 and this version introduces a host new features, particularly in managing of blog postings. One of their favourite enhancements is the “Sticky Post” feature.

It allows any librarians to take any story or stories which they’ve published and place them at the top of their blog without editing the time stamp. This new feature will allow them to take important news or posts that they’re especially proud and display them for all the world to see for as long as they want!

I will giving a short talk on Library 2.0 & WordPress for librarians in my library. Details are as per below:

Date/Day : 31/3/2009, Tuesday
Time: 2.00 pm – 3.30 pm
Venue : Library Instruction Room, LWN Library.

Of course, I don’t want anybody to miss out. I will try to stream this talk out via Ustream.tv and also upload my slides.

The target audience for this lecture will be librarians and those who are in the cultural institutions.
