(30 October 2015) Two library directors from universities in Yangon and Mandalay in Myanmar will visit the Lithuanian Research Library Consortium (LMBA), which is an EIFL partner consortium, to learn about consortium policies and practices.
Dr Hlaing Hlaing Gyi, library director of the university of Yangon, and Hla Hla Win, director of the university library in Mandalay, will spend three days with colleagues from the LMBA to learn about consortium management and sustainability; how a library consortium serves its members and library users; building relationships with stakeholders and funders, and the practical day-to-day routines of licensing, marketing, training, and promoting and monitoring use of library e-resources.
Hlaing Hlaing Gyi and Hla Hla Win are members of the steering group of the new Myanmar Academic Library Consortium (MALC), which currently encompasses the eight university libraries in the EIFL-led eLibrary Myanmar project.
