Ola El Zein

I am proud and fortunate to receive a fellowship to attend the 2023 Mortenson Center Associates Program under the theme: Shaping the Future of Libraries, May 24 – June 20, 2023. The program does not only provide a unique professional development opportunity but also an exceptional cultural and social experience with people of different backgrounds and beliefs. I am particularly interested in learning about:

  • Leadership, organization and team/project management styles and approaches.
  • Roles of librarians in attaining the 2030 sustainable development goals (SDGSs).
  • Innovative and smart technologies, AI applications, virtual and augmented reality, 3D and library of the future.
  • Makerspaces and flexible learning spaces.
  • Role of librarians as driving forces of social transformation.
