World library and information congress

Codice Il De Divina Proporzione exhibit at the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele thanks to Pinacoteca Ambrosiana
From 24th until 27th august, 2009 I've had helped as a volunteer at the 75th IFLA congress in Milan. It was such a wonderful experience... I enjoyed it so much, that I'm planning to help again in Gothenburg!! I helped at the pre-paid registration desk, at room green and blue as room attendant, giving assistance to interpreters and giving headsets to delegates at the auditorium!!
The magic library exposition at the Palazzo Sormano library
Couldn't attend many sessions, but some ideas did dig into my mind: long term storage should include museum sector (libraries working together with museums to preserve digital information), who will own the digital content? (trusted repositories giving everyone access to digital content), fight against paying for library loans (a conference about public lending right and intellectual property held nearby MIC), web editing (homepage, menus, for each group within an entity), no danger in gamming at the public library, not to fear new programs, if they fail we can learn from it! (talking about public library programs held by Josie Parker thanks to US Embassy libraries), to digitize on demand or to digitize systematically? (we can share criteria, financial partners and know-how partners), Biblioteca comunale di Palazzo Sormani, exposition This is my letter to the worldthe need of a white paper on digitization (there are some on the web, but I think they meant a global one, for all libraries, archives and museums, so that we all share the same criteria).
There was an ad about the IFLA congress at the Milan summer guide! There were special expositions at different places in the city because of the congress: the magic library, this is my letter to the world, i tre anelli (this one I specially loved!! Codex regarding three religions: christian, judaism, islam).

Actividades 3B

Mickey y Minie en las fiestas del barrio de Gràcia en Barcelona!!
Fiesta de Gràcia, acaba hoy!!! Tenéis que ver la calle Verdi (sí, la de los cines)!!! La decoración es medieval!! Me he divertido mucho en estas fiestas, incluso he hecho de ayudante de mago!! (Esto fue el domingo 16 de agosto en la Plaça del Nord!!)
¿Qué otras actividades buenas, bonitas y baratas (=gratis)? Pues visitar bibliotecas!! Como por ejemplo la biblioteca de Santpedor y la del Casino de Manresa!!
Exposición de música en la biblioteca del Casino de Manresa
Santpedor es una ciudad medieval encantadora del Bages!! De las 5 puertas medievales, sólo se conservan 3, pero que muy bien!! Y también se puede visitar el Pantocrátor de Arnau Cadell en la iglesia parroquial!!
Perdida en la plaza mayor de Santpedor, suerte del mapa de la ciudad que me dieron en la biblioteca!!
Las bibliotecarias son muy amables!! Una de ellas, no sólo me dio el mapa de la ciudad, sino que me indicó el camino a seguir desde la biblioteca a la ciudad amurallada (de las murallas no se conserva nada).
Entrada a la biblioteca Pare Ignasi Casanovas, de antpedor, Manresa
He aprovechado también para hacer algo de deporte: tiro con arco asimétrico japonés!!! Y por no usar crema solar... me he quemado!!!
Practicando tiro con arco en las pistas de la zona universitaria
Pero la actividad principal de este verano del 2009 (crisis económica = no money) es leer novelas!! Postmortem, Estudio en escarlata, 1984... Y pasear por Barcelona haciendo fotos!! Esto también es gratis!!!Casa Golferich, BarcelonaParque de la Maternitat, Les Corts, BarcelonaVallcarca, talud de la edad paleozoica, Barcelona
