Library Trends and Management Issues: A Library Staff Development Programme

The Hong Kong Baptist University Library held a staff development programme for a group of 20 academic librarians from Mainland universities from March 5 to 20, 2001.  Some of its sessions were open to HKLA members.

The programme is funded by the United Board for Christian Higher Education in China.  Its objectives are to enhance the participants' theoretical framework of library and information management issues, enrich their practical skills related to library and information services, and expand their knowledge base of information technology trends.
