The last day

Gala evening was really an event to remember. The decor was stunning. Thank you so much. If I'm looking back at my expectations everything came true and a little bit more. This was a learning opportunity well worth the money granted by the Carnegie Corporation, well worth the loss of sleep. For me this Academy was just in time.

It is also a self learn course. How far can I be stretched, time management, emotional intelligence, thinking differently, scary how some of the personal evaluations are true, appreciation of friendships that was built? Now the hard work is starting

Mobile Technology

Even though I have attended this session previously it was a wonderful refresher course. I said I was at the best library

Diversity

Diversity isn't a problem for me. I can't take a lack of good manners and respect for each other. I shared a room with somebody of another culture group and we got along very well. I think it is all about behaviour and understanding of each other’s perceptions of life. Luckily we are both morning persons. Thank you, Eunice for sharing the room with me.
Our small group are very diverse: 2 men + 3 women; in these group 2 persons from the public library and 3 from the academic library; and also representative out of each population group. Yes, Ujala I remember what you said when looking at diversity, I want to illustrate that people with different backgrounds like our group can work wonderful together. It is all about emotional maturity. According to my subjective view we are the best group

Dynamic organization by Johan Greeff

I wish we could have this session a little bit earlier in the programme. We can use this knowledge we encounter today very fruitful in the Wiki assignment. Contrisipate: new word learned (it now exit) which stand for: contribute appreciate and participation. We learned a lot today that will help me with the alignment of our faculty library's alignment with the library and the faculty's strategies and our new vision, mission and values. This was for the really the highlight of all the session till now.

The Week-end Glorious Week-end

I have 24 hours people around me. I'm not use to it and the week-end is for me thus a breathing moment that I contemplate and I think better when I'm alone. We could go away for the day but had to be back around supper time. I've got a wonderful idea while washing clothes back at home and want to run it by the rest of my group. Sunday morning 3 am I got another great idea in connection with the first idea. The podcast combined with an electronic poster. A podcast I've never done and hope David know how. The poster I remember because Adrienne showed me hers.

12 Nov continue

Today's lecture about KM was for me difficult because it was not that new to me and I had to listen to an accent not so easy on my ear. To stay awake was a real problem. I manage this session by looking at the other Academy participants. They found it definitely very interesting. Marieta thought it was wonderful. I just realised that I was really at one of the best University Libraries in the country. It is a very good feeling to have.

Johannes Cronje's session even in a grave yard session was received with a lot of enthusiasm. I realized that I can think a lot inside the box. The big thing is to think outside the box. If a person is not careful, you can develop tunnel vision about a subject. I learned a lot out of this session and I must keep this thought always fresh at the back of my head when I go back.
