Librarian Development Programme at IWSB

MANLIBNET SEMINAR

> [Attachment( s) from Sharma Jitender included below]
>Dear Sir/Madam,

>Librarianship is a noble profession. Its’ prime motto is to provide services in the best possible manner to the users. Librarian’s prime concern is also directly linked to Customer satisfaction. As we all Library Professionals are blessed with subject knowledge and experience, usually the lacking part, which we come across, is the art of presenting ourselves in front of others. It would be possible if a library professional has thorough knowledge of managerial skills. A Librarian who has managerial skills performs better in his profession. Many librarians in the profession are not able to meet user expectations due to lack of Managerial skills.
>Keeping this thought in our mind we tried to give a platform to the Library Professionals to groom themselves and learn few things on Managerial Skills. So, it is our pleasure to share with you that INDUS WORLD SCHOOL OF BUSINESS, Greater Noida in collaboration with MANAGEMENT LIBRARIES NETWORK (MANLIBNET) is going to organize a Two-Day Librarian Development Programme (LDP) on "Managerial Skills for Library Professionals" for Library & Information Professionals on September 9-10th, 2011. I hope it would be awakening to the inner potential of the Library Professionals of India.  This will enrich the experience of the participants and it is expected that they will return to their workplaces as changed professionals who will fulfill the expectations of their users and become the true professionals they are meant to be.
>IWSB (Indus World School of Business) has been started with a mission to create well-rounded, open and responsible entrepreneurial leaders who can be growth catalysts in organizations, businesses and markets through leadership in thought and action. This is reflected in virtually every aspect of the Institute. The environment at IWSB encourages openness, accountability, risk taking and innovation. IWSB runs under the aegis of the Career Launcher Education Foundation, and is promoted by Career Launcher Group, a leading edu-corporate of Asia that has business operations in diverse areas in the field of education.
>The participants nominated for this program are expected to find it a great learning and sharing experience, due to the content and context, (details given in the attached Brochure and Format for nominations) , with variety of topics and eminent speakers, having long experiences in Academics and Library.
