Hello everyone!
It has been quite hectic week recently and working in Public
Relations field requires the person to be updated with the latest news, issues
and happenings around the globe. In my
last two weeks of internship, I was given the chance to do research in assisting
the Regional Manager on finding the right book using their online website
catalogue services called OPAC.
I was given the task to find the appropriate book for the
upcoming report on “Hari Wanita” that was done by Pustaka Miri which I was
required to use their online website services. Before I start my
research, one of the staff, Mdm. Lilian had introduced, explained and taught me on
how to use the online public access catalogue to research a specific book that
is located in the library or can be found online.
After I was brief thoroughly on the online catalogue
services, I start using it to allocate the specific book that is related to
“Hari Wanita” in both languages that is English and Bahasa Malaysia. I find the info that Mdm Lilian had taught me is very useful as it helps to narrow down the
book search and it also notify where is the book allocated. Plus, the privilege
of using this online catalogue services are provided as long as you are a
member of Pustaka Miri, which makes it convenient for the students, teachers,
researchers or even lecturers to use it.
I find that, this service is very beneficial for people who are doing researching. After finding few of the books that I’ve researched, I
brought the books to the regional manager, as she requires more book reference
for her report on “Hari Wanita”.
Furthermore, on that day itself, I was lucky
to be invited to join the official staff meeting. It was indeed my first time sitting in the
boardroom with so many staffs but I’d really enjoy attending the meeting as it
helps me to widen my knowledge. While attending all the meetings by Pustaka Miri, I have learned a lot from listening and watching the staff managing work and discussion. Also, being in the boardroom allows me to
know more on the internal and external work or activities organized by Pustaka
Miri.
