· Professional Interest
Major interest in human resource development of library professionals in developing countries.. I wish to create awareness among the library professionals about the technological change and its impact and benefits to the professional aspect of librarianship. To support this mission I wish to open a professional development center and I explore opportunities to appreciate the global aspects of our profession and the importance of thinking beyond borders in terms of resource sharing and human resource development. I intend to work on this aspect in practical terms for librarians in developing countries as a whole. I am working on my website http://mumtazslibraryforlibrarians.com
