An Array of Workshops and Creative Events Organized To Benefit Students and the Wider Community
Qatar National Library (QNL) resumes its monthly programmes in September with an array of workshops and events aimed at developing students’ skills and encouraging a creative community.
QNL, a member of Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development (QF), is resuming its monthly book discussions after the summer break with the book ‘Living Correctly’ by Fahad Al-Bshara. In simple language and style, the book charts a meaningful set of ideas, thoughts and stories that promote positivity, optimism, trust and closeness to Allah in the face of life’s difficulties.
In addition, QNL is organising a free, hands-on training sessions on the effective use of selected Health Online Resources that include: ProQuest Health Resources, Refworks, Emerald Insight, OVID medical database and SAGE. These are health learning resource databases that are available and accessible for QNL users.
With poster presentations being such a highly-used communication tool for students to display and discuss their research experience, QNL offers a free, hands-on training workshop on Designing Research Posters. This workshop focuses on how to design an effective research poster; it includes the poster design process, design elements, and using PowerPoint to create posters.
The library is also conducting a free workshop on Writing Business E-Mails that aims to develop the overall practices of business emails communication.
In addition, the library is also organising a Back to School programme where children and their families can participate in many exciting activities such as storytelling, crafts and songs and where children will have the opportunity to create their own backpack using simple materials.
To raise its international profile, QNL will participate in The International Council on Archives (ICA) Quadrennial Congress, in Seoul, South Korea. With the theme of ‘Archives, Harmony and Friendship’, the conference will include presentations on the topic of native peoples and their relationship both to their own records and archives and to the work of non-native communities in recordkeeping and archives management. The ICA groups together about 1,400 institutional members in 199 countries and territories.
This month also marked the return of the monthly popular Research Skills Workshop, which offers essential research skills for a wide range of disciplines and subject areas. The workshop covered four modules: Research Tool Kit, Search Strategies and Techniques, Citing Resources, and Writing Research Papers.
Academics and professionals also benefited from a hands-on training workshop on Designing Effective Presentations which focused on creating presentations that make an impact, covering presentation design elements and processes using PowerPoint and Prezi.
In line with QF’s mission to unlock human potential and create a progressive society, QNL aligns itself through these activities, with the objectives of the Qatar National Vision 2030 through spreading knowledge and cultivation of creativity for future generations.
