Although the snow has surprised us once again, the week of the 18th to 22nd of January 2010 was the week for the third course IT/LIB in Galati, Neamt and Iasi. This finalizes the series of courses offered to the librarians by IREX and EOS in the first year of Biblionet.
Be it intense heat or mountains of snow, the courses take place and the revolution of libraries in Romania has taken some certain steps. The librarians that have participated this week at the course will receive in the shortest while the computers. Thus, they will be able to confront the “Internet hungry mob” that is gaining outside the libraries right as we speak.
The main characters in this training series for this week are: the EOS trainers Adrian Popovici, Teodora Borgoff and Marius Milla, along with the librarians to be trainers from the three counties: Gabriel Manea, Titina Dediu (Galati), Bogdan Ghiurco and Mihail Grinea (Iasi), Mihaela Mereuta and Virgil Cojocaru (Neamt). This is the final part of the Training of Trainers program. All that separates them from the official title of trainer is the CNFPA exam, which will take place in February.
After this, the county libraries from which they come from will be the proud hosts of two trainers, capable and recognized to deliver courses anywhere in the European Union. Furthermore, knowing the trainers in person, we know that the success of Biblionet will reside on their capable shoulders.
