Gain a lot and encourage my pursuits.

I have learned new ways to improve our library like reaching out to faculty researchers and be of great help to them.

Gaining experience from oversea library.

Good experience for library management.

I enjoyed the Institute very much. Thank you!

I was able to know more about marketing and branding from the presentations of facilitators. Also learn about other libraries’ experience through discussion and sharing sessions.

I will think strategically who I am and what I would do in terms of my institution in order to help our users being successful in their study and research.

Thank you very much for the organizers.

The public library perspective was insightful for thought provoking.

It made me realized a lot of activities, projects and challenges that I could do in future.

Made me realize what I still need to do to be a good leader. Learned a lot from the examples given. Inspired me to all the more love the profession.

I will now look at library issues and my day to day work through the view of leadership. This requires more big-picture thinking.

Great chance to get to know other professionals and learn about library challenges.

Opened my eyes to hoe the others from different countries approach and mange their work flow, their challenges, their positive pluses. New infused ideas shared by all.

I have learned a lot especially leadership and management. Thank you Leadership for the experience.

Have more rest time and tea breaks. Too intensive.

Networking is important and this activity answer for the “Networking”.

It is a great opportunity to learn and see what other people in same field doing. I have been learn a lot from this meeting. I may take some ideas from here to practice in our library.

A good opportunity to connect and communicate.

Learn to be professional and improve in the practice.

The talk given by Paul and John really helped me think outside of the box of Academic Library, esp. LAPL’s MKY initiatives. Thanks!

Tables can be bigger to accommodate writing needs. Thanks to HKU staff for taking care of us throughout the workshop.
