= Meeting Librarians in Istanbul =

January 2014: Follett offered workshops in different areas of Middle East. Larry Gilbert and Wendy Gutenkauf led workshops in Dubai, the United Arab Emirates; Rabat, Morocco; Cairo, Egypt; Istanbul, Turkey and Doha, Qatar.

About 30 librarians came to Robert College, Istanbul, Turkey, to sharpen their skills on Library Online Catalog Destiny with Larry. Librarians from International schools in Turkey shared their experiences in teaching library skills, appreciation of literature and authors and creativity on the following day.

I thought you would be interested to see what was done in Turkey and posted some of the presentations here so you can view them. If you had a chance to attend Follett's workshops in other places this winter, feel free to share your experience via Comment and by Editing the page.
