Partners

NLBA disseminates information literacy information to the public and corporate organisations through various outreach programmes. We are seeking partners who can collaborate with us to spread our information literacy message. If you are interested to collaborate with us, feel free to contact us.

Local Collaboration

Possible collaboration could include displaying NLBA’s publicity material at partner events or partner collaboration at NLBA-led events that provides Singaporeans with engaging opportunities to experience and learn more about information literacy.

International Collaboration

Agreements and partnerships that Singapore has forged with international information literacy players have brought about mutual benefits. They have for instance increased demand for information literacy products and services in the respective countries. NLBA value such partnerships and seek to cultivate more such strategic alliances with more international partners – both at the Governmental level and Industry level.

Testimonials

The trainers shared their working experiences, which is an eye opener for non-frontline staff. I liked the case studies we worked on, as the case studies gave us a better understanding of the course.
––– Participants (Library Functions, Management & Services)
The Course allowed me to have a better understanding of the cataloguing process. The hands-on element allows us to experience a bit of Cataloguer’s and Book selector’s work and problems faced.
––– Participants (Organising Library Collection & Collection Policy)
Good overview of how both Public and Reference libraries handle research and reference enquiries. The sharing between staff was also beneficial. The discussions among colleagues from different libraries such as the National Library, Public and School Library allowed us to know what each division is responsible for and how they manage enquiries.
––– Participants (Reference Enquiry & Tools)
I have gained knowledge on using the different marketing platforms for the types of events / programmes. I am able to understand the branding of NLB. The trainers were very clear, and the videos shown were very concise yet entertaining.
––– Participants(Library Promotion & Marketing)
The databases and tips you taught us yesterday were indeed very useful. I received an enquiry to find a ST news article which featured the patron’s mother (dated 1955) The patron asked whether he could get a copy of it.I went straight to NewspaperSG and found the article within a few minutes!

Thanks a lot for sharing the information. The tacit knowledge and experience that you shared during the training is very useful. I’ll never know things like TumbleBook for children, TumbleReadables for young people, and Tumble TalkingBooks for adults if haven’t learnt from you in the class.
