The seminar aims to help media center coordinators, school librarians and AV personnel keep abreast with new trends in the field of media librarianship, particularly on Web designing, video production and editing, as well as on the latest technology of book care/repair. It is also designed as a venue where emerging issues and concerns in the profession as well as in the work place will be discussed.
