The QNL team of information specialists has prepared a directory on the library's website that contains reliable sources of information related to the Coronavirus.

Qatar National Library (QNL) will host Herberto Tapia, one of the main authors of the latest Human Development Report of the United Nations Development Program on Thursday, February 4.

 

Tapia will deliver a lecture entitled "Human Development in the Post-Covid Era … the Way to the Future" in co-operation with the Arab Youth Climate Movement, the United Nations Development Program and the Swedish Embassy in Qatar.

Abeer Saad Al-Kuwari, Director of Research Affairs and Learning Services, QNL speaking this context, said, “There is no doubt that the Corona pandemic has fundamentally changed people's lives. Although many of these changes will become part of the new reality that we must adapt and live with, one of the most dangerous repercussions of this pandemic is that it has removed the injustices, injustices and inequality and revealed the shortcomings of the global community. As we recover from the pandemic, the decisions we make now to address these grave societal issues will shape the post-pandemic new world. We in the library realize the importance of this issue as well as the community’s eagerness to know more about it,”

In addition to this lecture, the QNL team of information specialists has prepared a directory on the library's website that contains reliable sources of information related to the Coronavirus, in order to enable community members to access accurate and correct information about the virus and precautionary measures and ways to prevent it, as part of the library's efforts to educate the public about the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Next Saturday, the library will organize another lecture entitled "Covid-19 vaccines ... Between Truth and Fake News" that sheds light on fake news about the vaccine and the facts related to it, and how we can get access to medical facts from its reliable and official sources.
