How Many Calories In A Cup Of Tea

Google Library as on television

I have several entries that I have left out throughout year. As there was no other way, could not pass up a post on Open Access , theme that runs through the reality of the Argentine university libraries today. For some years there is an Open Access week worldwide. This year in Argentina was among the main activities, a video conference on October 21. In the Central Library National University of Luján , one of the transmission nodes, I attended the Virtual Open Access Day 2010

organized by the Ministry of Science and Technology Office, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO ) and the Argentine Center of Scientific and Technology (CAICYT, CONICET).

The event had 40 registered for this node filling the room capacity. At the same approached some teachers with whom at lunch we talked about the importance of the library in promoting Open Access. And students also attended the Institute's library career Mignone. I emphasize this because in the curriculum of the career of librarianship today can not ignore the issue of open access to scientific knowledge.

For librarians of the house was a good day to start mobilizing the Open Access within the university. Involved the biblitocarios and other personnel working in the library to leave the shelves and have more visibility in the academic institution where I work.

This week, among other activities, the website of inception of the library put a link to the call and the Access logo Open, in the prevention image screensavers and desktops of PC Internet consultation of the library, and create a poster promoting Open Access Week.

In this context, I go to the network the radio interview promoting the event days before we made the librarian Patricia Jaime Ferrer, and me, on Radio National University of Luján. We discussed what is Open Access, the importance of university libraries in the dissemination of this philosophy and the role of digital libraries and repositories today.

As comments were very interesting presentations, all from 8 am to 18 pm. There were 12 exhibitors, so much for so little time. Besides, at some point it seemed that some subjects were trampled. One attendee told me on the node you wanted to find some research shows the impact of open access in the national universities in Argentina, how scientists in the hard sciences that are the subject idea and what level of impact do Argentine scientific publications in the scientific community.

But most important of all, this event attempted to position university libraries as leaders in Open Access projects in their institutions, and show progress in development of open digital libraries and repositories. These are other models of library that very little it is imposed by these grasslands and that librarians are going to have to develop digital habiliades to work on projects of this type. Hence the importance that teachers in colleges and universities are training the new generation of librarians in this line.

digital repositories projects submitted by open insitucionales university libraries in the Ministry of Science and Technology shows where it goes the way and the hard work that we lack yet.
