DOHA: Qatar National Library (QNL) has scheduled events, including a book discussion and free training sessions on online databases for all residents through its website.
Several training sessions will be organised to help residents familiarise themselves with ‘SpringerLink’ and ‘CREDO Reference’ databases.

It has titles in many subjects. Training in Arabic and English in collaboration with Springer Publishing Company will be held tomorrow.
