University of Technology staff visit IMR

On the 12th of September, the PNGIMR head quarters received a total of 34 staff from the University of Technology’s Matheson Library in Lae.

the visiting library staff from the university of technology with their colleagues from the pngimr michael alpers library.

The main purpose of their trip was to see first hand PNGIMR’s modern library setup and also to learn about the work PNGIMR is doing.

They toured the Institute’s library and the archives asking questions and later toured the different sections of the institute, asking more questions about each section.

It was an eye opener for most of them as each IMR staff whom they met explained their role of work to them; as they had very vague ideas about the work PNGIMR does towards the health and well being of the people of Papua New Guinea.

The visit was organised by the Matheson Library’s head librarian, Ms Kertsein Simberg, through Mrs Susan Gandi, the head of the Information and Communication section unit at IMR.

The Univertsity of Technology staff later toured other institutions and libraries in Goroka, including the University of Goroka, Research and Conservation, National Sports Institute, the Museum, Goroka Public Library and the Melanesian Institute.
