of Nursing in Dubai, UAE, which is in middle east. I have more than 16 years
of experience behind me as a school/medical librarian.


Recently I have been requested by a local group of schools to organize a
workshop on school libraries.I would like to cover the following 3 main
topics:


1. How to organise an effective school library

2. How to instill reading habits in children

3. How to go about computerising/networking school libraries belonging to one group of entrepreneurs.


So what do you think? How does one find suitable materials to use in a conference… Post your answers below.

organised in the region, I am finding it a little difficult to obtain
sufficient and suitable material to work with. I got your reference while
searching the net for information. I shall be grateful if you would kindly
help me find information on the above topics; especially about the
\’…reading habits…\’ question. Ideas to make the workshop interesting and
effective are also most welcome. So would be any kind of \’school library
statistics\’.
