In the fourth week, we had Chai Wai which is the presentation about UN SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). We had many opportunities to do group work during this program, but I think this presentation was the biggest event so far.
In this presentation, associates were divided into four groups according to their home countries. As Asian group, I had a presentation with Suyeon Lee who works at the National Library of Korea. There were many differences between our libraries, because my library is university library, and her library is national library. The biggest difference was payment policy, but the primary purpose is providing services to users, so it seems that the underlying part was the same.
Through the presentations of others, I learned that they have their own problems and are struggling to make solutions in various ways. Since each library has different backgrounds, the issues which should be solved are different, but I felt that I should have the opportunity to discuss about the services of my library with my colleagues after going back to my country.
