An Evaluation of a Seminar on Electronic Librarianship

Abstract

The seminar on "Electronic Librarianship", organized by the Department of Library Science of Hacettepe University, took place in Ankara from 4-8 September 2000. Some 29 librarians representing university, public, private and military libraries participated in this seminar. A total of 17 lectures, each lasting 50 minutes, on various aspects of electronic librarianship were delivered. Eleven practical sessions provided participants much needed "hands-on" experience on electronic information sources and services. Participants filled out a questionnaire after each session. An overwhelming majority (81%) of participants found the seminar "very good". This paper summarizes the experiences ofa committed seminar team and evaluates the questionnaire results.
