VISITORS FROM JAPAN

By Hjh Pusparaini Hj Thani, Library Officer, Institut Teknologi Brunei

Two librarians from Japan Ms Tomoko Kamiya from Nagoya University Library and Ms Asami Tanaka from Rissho University Library were at the ITB Library on Tuesday 16 August 2011 for a visit. They were met upon arrival by Dyg Hjh Pusparaini.

The aim of their visit was to learn about the academic library services in Brunei Darussalam specifically on e-library services and management of the library. They learnt about the RFID tagging used in the collections which they found to be interesting and also the digitising works for the eRIS collection. eRIS was launched in ITB Library on 9 April 2008 and was an e-government project. A web based library management system called Digital Media Collection Management System was implemented to ease searching, cataloguing viewing and archiving of digitized ITB products and materials and access the library collection.
