INTRODUCTION
- MY EXPECTATIONS
At first w was not sure at all what to expect! As I got over the shock and excitement that I
definitely have been accepted, I started thinking of what exactly could this all be about? I
University of Pretoria. Reading through this I realised that the investment they have made
in the attendees, are a vast amount of different angles and approaches to enhance
librarianship from leadership, marketing, branding, diversity, culturalism, self
enhancement and so much more that I have not even mentioned.
- I felt privileged and special
- I was now looking forward to learn more about my working environment, profession.
from colleagues in other libraries and about myself.
- REFLECTING ON WHAT AM I GOING TO DO WITH THE NEW KNOWLEDGE
environment with as many of the knowledge I obtained from this programme. I want to
look at the services I deliver to my departments, lecturers, students and other clients
differently. I want to clear, clean, organise and sustain, I also want to apply these qualities
to my own personal life. I just want to embrace all the knowledge and skills acquired
during the two weeks.
I am not a very critical person and therefore also did not really criticize on the
presentations. I have the point of view that one can also learn at least something new.
- FIVE ISSUES OF DIFFERENCES IN MY OWN LIBRARY
- Firstly look at what am I doing at the library and what can I do differently, how
can I apply what I have learnt from the academy.
- How can I involve and share what I have learnt with my colleagues - we all need to
benefit from the knowledge gain.
- I want to re-think my training procedures and - am I accommodating the different
learning and thinking styles?
- I want to apply clear, clean, organise, standardize and sustain my own working
environment.
- What can I do to contribute to the community?
