DOHA: Qatar National Library (QNL) has hosted students from Sultan Qaboos University in Oman for a comprehensive five-day training programme titled ‘Emerging Librarians.’ QNL offers the programme as part of its continuous initiatives aimed at empowering information specialists across the region.
This effort has intensified since last year when QNL was designated as the inaugural MENA Regional Office for the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA), marking a historic first for the region.
The training programme featured orientation sessions to familiarize students with the QNL’s various departments, including a tour of the Heritage Library, Digitization Center, Children’s Library, and the Preservation and Conservation Center where students were briefed on the conservation techniques and processes used to preserve heritage items and the library’s role since 2015, as IFLA’s Regional Preservation and Conservation Center.
