Howdy!

I really enjoy teaching students and I suppose it is as a kind of my passion since I finished my study. Seems I am a dedicated teacher, so possibilities to work with international odium of great experts, teachers and students in ICIMSS I treat as a challenge joy and award.

New technology, new information nets, distance learning and education create so many new wonderful ways and possibilities, rich our knowledge and make more wide our horizons, but also increase new duties and responsibilities, cause same way these can stay traps, if we do not focus them with enough attention.

The module of digital libraries gives students and myself also possibilities attend in very interesting lectures and gives many good examples of digital libraries projects, teach search strategies and focus on evaluation and quality of information on Internet.

Always exists a kind of feedback between teachers and students, so our world can stay more valid and interesting for both sides.

I wish all the best everybody includes in ICIMSS works and I am looking forward to meet all of us together.

With greetings,

Maryla
