Our Malaysian Friend

Hermie Salazar, University Librarian of the University of North Eastern Philippines (UNEP)treated us to dinner at Cabalen Megamall. Seated across from me is Mench, a young librarian who works at the Asian Institute of Management (AIM). Beside her is Hermie. And the exotic looking gentleman is none other than Dr. Diljit Singh from the University of Malaya.



Dr. Singh has endeared himself to the hearts of many a Filipino librarian and Library organizations. He is here for the 13th CONSAL, although he's made several visits to Manila in the past three years. He's been helping Filipino librarians, school librarians in particular, through the many talks and speaking engagements on Information Literacy, Role of school librarians and libraries, Library Education and ICT applications to library services.

Dr. Singh is affiliated with the International Association of School Libraries (IASL).
