SPN21 stands for<br />

Sistem Pendidikan<br />

Negara Abad ke-21<br />

(National Education<br />

System for the 21 st<br />

century). In this<br />

briefing the librarians<br />

learnt how SPN21<br />

would impact the use<br />

of libraries in the<br />

student-centred<br />

learning. With the<br />

introduction of<br />

SPN21, where<br />

knowledge and<br />

information are prerequisite for academic excellence, it cannot be denied that school libraries role<br />

will be central in the learning process. The librarians are calling for the <strong>Library</strong> Skills to be<br />

integrated into SPN21 curriculum as a permanent component if the librarians are to promote<br />

aggressively students library skills and the reading habit and to see a marked increase in literacy.<br />

The librarians need to be re-trained with new ICT skills, be proactive and with the full support of<br />

their superiors can realise this new role. The <strong>Brunei</strong> <strong>Library</strong> <strong>Association</strong> sees its important role as<br />

a partner in training to meet the training needs of the school librarians. Go to page 8<br />

NATIONAL DIPLOMA IN INFORMATION AND LIBRARY MANAGEMENT<br />

By Nellie Dato Paduka Haji Sunny<br />

NATIONAL DIPLOMA IN INFORMATION AND LIBRARY MANAGEMENT (NDILM) was<br />

introduced in July 2000. It is a two and a half year formal library education initially intended for inservice<br />

library staff with four passes at the Ordinary Level public examinations, but from 2004<br />

fresh school-leavers were admitted. Candidates with Advance Level passes are given preference.<br />

It is conducted at the Sultan Saiful Rijal Technical College.<br />

The idea of establishing a formal library education in <strong>Brunei</strong> <strong>Darussalam</strong> was mooted by Dewan<br />

Bahasa dan Pustaka <strong>Brunei</strong> way back in 1995 which subsequently led to the inaugural meeting<br />

on 24 June 1995 between Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka <strong>Brunei</strong> and Institut Teknologi <strong>Brunei</strong>.<br />

A Working Committee led by Nellie Dato Paduka Haji Sunny, the then Deputy Director Dewan<br />

Bahasa dan Pustaka <strong>Brunei</strong> and Hjh Pusparaini Hj Thani as its Secretary was formed to pave the<br />

way for a more detailed discussion on the contents of the proposed Certificate/Diploma ILM.<br />

More meetings followed with the Civil Service Department, and the Department of Technical<br />

Education. On 27 March 2000 was interview day for 25 short-listed candidates. The NDILM is<br />

considered a milestone and a major achievement in the development of libraries and librarianship<br />

in <strong>Brunei</strong> <strong>Darussalam</strong>.<br />

It complements the various intensive courses run by Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka <strong>Brunei</strong>, the<br />

<strong>Brunei</strong> <strong>Darussalam</strong> <strong>Library</strong> <strong>Association</strong> and in-house training programmes of UBD <strong>Library</strong>. The<br />

NDILM is awarded by the <strong>Brunei</strong> <strong>Darussalam</strong> Technical Vocational Education Council.<br />

On 5 July 2000 it admitted for the first time, 14 students to the NDILM who came from various<br />

libraries, steered with the manpower of two seconded librarians as instructors from the Universiti<br />

<strong>Brunei</strong> <strong>Darussalam</strong> <strong>Library</strong> and the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka <strong>Brunei</strong> <strong>Library</strong>. NDILM was put<br />

under the purview of the Computing and IT Department. Provision and facilities were limited and<br />

reference resources were scarce so the students were allowed access to the <strong>Library</strong> and<br />

Information science collection at the Universiti <strong>Brunei</strong> <strong>Darussalam</strong> <strong>Library</strong> and also the Dewan<br />

Bahasa dan Pustaka <strong>Brunei</strong> <strong>Library</strong>. Non-<strong>Library</strong> subjects were taught by MTSSR teaching staff.<br />

From 2006 the intakes have been made annual and from intake NDILM/07 starting July 2009, will<br />

revert and admit only in-service librarians.<br />

0n 1 March 2008, the CIT Department of MTSSR held an ILM Day and invited all ex-students to<br />

give their feedback on the course. The one day event saw invited speakers talking about the<br />

library career and its future prospects. On the whole the graduates found the course relevant and<br />

suggested that subjects like cataloguing and classification be given more study hours.<br />

Success stories:<br />

One graduate is completing a Bachelor in <strong>Brunei</strong> Studies at UBD;<br />

One graduate has been accepted into a Bachelor of ILM at a UK higher educational institution;<br />

Most in-service graduates have been promoted since obtaining their NDILM;<br />

Since 2004, the NDILM is run by two permanent library trained instructors who in turns attend the<br />

UBD Post-Graduate Certificate in Technical Education.<br />

The NDILM is listed the LISEA Directory maintained by Nanyang Technological University,<br />

Singapore.<br />

The NDILM will cease to be offered by 2012 as the Ministry of Education starts to replace it with<br />

the introduction of the ‘new diploma’. MTSSR in consultation with the BLA is considering a<br />

proposal to offer a ‘bridging’ post-certificate course early next year for the graduates of NDILM to<br />

upgrade their qualifications for entry to the ‘new diploma’. BLA is also actively involved in<br />

designing a formal programme for in-service librarians leading to a certificate and will maintain a<br />

register of professional librarians in the country.<br />
