Continuing Development Programme: The Case of Carnegie CPD 6 Group at the University of Pretoria South Africa


The CPD programme is a very good programme designed to train up for a new breed of 21st century librarians across Africa. The Journey to the CPD Programme was a very interesting one which stated days before the resumption date of 27th February, 2016. The Fellows from Nigeria had safe landing at OR Tambo Int'l Airport. In all we were thirteen (13) fellows in all. had our rest and had to attend the welcome dinner that evening of 27th February, 2016. At the dinner, we met all the fellows, and some of our lecturer namely, Prof. Bothma, Dr. Marlene, etc with the CPD admin Joan De La Haye, very exciting moment in deed. At the dinner, Michael Esew made a presentation of two souvenirs on behalf of the Vice Chancellor and the good people of Ahmadu Bello University Zaria, Nigeria in recognition to their contributions to humanity. The next day we had our click up session with Dr. Marlene Holmner, Joan and Chisasa ready for the task ahead. On monday the 29th of February, 2016 was when we started our classes proper, though we couldn't get out Tuks card because of some technicalities.
