DOHA: Qatar National Library (QNL) will hold informative events this month to stress the importance of libraries in community development.
Focusing on the vital role public and metropolitan libraries play in communities, the MetLib 2016 Qatar conference will be held from April 23 to 28 at Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC). Leading experts and librarians will discuss the growth and development of metropolitan libraries in Qatar and beyond.
Engineer Saadi Al Said, Director, Administration and Planning, QNL, said, “Public and metropolitan libraries contribute to building progressive communities.
“Because of their vast reach, activities, and valuable resources, public libraries contribute to the development of solid identities for communities.”
QNL will also participate in the 22nd Annual Conference and Exhibition of Special Libraries Association/Arabian Gulf Chapter (SLA-AGC) from April 19 to 21 in Kuwait.
The conference will explore ‘Future Challenges of Library and Information Profession’, and industry experts from around the world will speak on current and future challenges libraries in the region face, and how development will ensue alongside digital progress.
As part of QNL’s public lectures, tomorrow Dr Scott Morrison, Senior Lecturer of Law, Middlesex University London, will give a talk entitled ‘The Legal Protection of Islamic Manuscripts in War: International and British Law and the Case of Syria’.
It will take place at Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar (GU-Q) in Education City and is being conducted in collaboration with University College London Qatar (UCL-Q).
QNL’s popular research workshop, ‘Conducting Research’ which aims to help undergraduate students improve research skills, will be held today at the HBKU Student Centre, covering ‘Citation Essentials’ and ‘Writing Research Papers’.
In addition to events focusing on the development of library systems, this month’s book discussion will feature a novel, Telepathy written by Sudanese author Amir Tag Elsir.
The author explores the striking relationship between a writer’s reality and imagination.
The narrative, set in Khartoum, highlights the two sides of the Sudanese capital — the bustling city and the neglected, poverty-stricken metropolitan.
Elsir will attend the discussion, which will be conducted in English on April 13 in the TV Lounge at HBKU Student Centre.The Peninsula
