U.S. Consulate, Goethe Institute, others train Nigerians on digital library service

The United States Consulate General in Lagos in collaboration with the Goethe Institute, University of Abuja and Women’s Technology Empowerment Centre, (WTEC) has trained librarians from the 36 states of the country.

The training, the organisers said, would enhance professionalism among Nigerian librarians.

The workshop, which was held in Lagos, was organised to make them globally relevant, and equip them up with necessary digital skills to provide public library services that use digital technology for the benefit of local communities.
