You are invited to join us for this ILIG Informal when the Middlesex University Commonwealth Fellows for 2010, Abdul Garuba, Lanre Osaniyi and Hagar Atta-Obeng will be talking about their experiences of working in Nigeria and Ghana, why they applied for a Commonwealth Fellowship and what they hope to achieve during their visit to the UK.
The Commonwealth Scholarship Commission in the United Kingdom (CSC) supports fellowships for mid-career professionals from developing Commonwealth countries to spend periods within the UK. Middlesex University plays host to a number of Fellows on an Annual basis.
Abdul, a past Secretary of the Nigerian Library Association, is a Systems Librarian based at John Harris Library at the University of Benin. He wishes to investigate management of electronic resources and hopes also to implement plan digitisation of theses and dissertations.
Lanre is the Principal Librarian at Redeemer’s University in Redemption City, Nigeria. He is particularly interested in professional development programmes such as mentoring, collaborative learning and wishes to address issues connected with effectively incorporating electronic resources for library users
Hagar is Acting College Librarian K Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Ghana. She is hoping to improve her skills in modern library management and especially in the area of e-resource management. She is also interested in developing training for school librarians for the new faculty of library science at KNUST.
This is an opportunity to hear more about their experiences, to share professional expertise and to help colleagues working abroad build a network of professional contacts. If you have any experience or interest in the areas detailed above, you are encouraged to attend. Please feel free to forward this invitation to any colleagues who may be interested.

ILIG Informals are not lectures; they are informal, but informative, early evening meetings with a short talk on a theme of international interest plus plenty of time for questions and networking. They are open to all and absolutely free. Light refreshments are served which is why we ask you to let us know you are coming by contacting us by 8th March. We look forward to seeing you.
The International Library and Information Group is a special interest group of CILIP: the Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals, registered charity number 313014. http://www.cilip.org.uk/ilig/
