Se compara la situación relativa de Andalucía con otras Comunidades Autónomas. Se obtienen conclusiones sobre cuáles son las provincias e instituciones en las que hay que incidir más para lograr aumentar el número de documentos andaluces en E-LIS y su impacto internacional.

In 2017 the Episcopal Public Library of the Seminary of Barcelona (hereinafter BPEB) commissioned the restoration of one of its handwritten books, Manuscript 150, the copy of Bernat Desclot's Chronicles, one of the four great medieval chronicles of Catalan literature. This Chronicle of the Last Counts of Barcelona, originally written very probably in the second half of the 13th century, tells the story that goes from Ramón Berenguer IV and Petronila de Aragón to Pedro el Grande, who died in 1285; in fact the latter is the main protagonist of much of this Chronicle. The specimen preserved in the BPEB, however, is later, probably written in the fourteenth century, with a later addition of the eighteenth century probably due to a loss of the original leaves. The article consists of two parts; the first analyses, from the bibliographical point of view, the Chronicle and carries out a general historical contextualisation of the work in order to then relate and locate the copies that exist today in different national libraries. This first part also describes the content and the characteristics and bibliographical peculiarities of the copy that is kept by the BPEB. Finally, a brief historical outline is attempted from the time of its arrival at the Library to the present day. It also describes the context of its restoration as well as the obtaining of the necessary funds to be able to carry it out. The second part of the article treats the monograph from a material perspective, makes an organoleptic description and exposes the results of the relevant physical-chemical analyses to determine the nature of materials such as inks or paper. Finally, it sets out the conclusions reached on the basis of the above points and describes the conservation-restoration process that took place in 2017. Las Crónica de los últimos condes de Barcelona is a handwritten book bound in parchment that has a peculiarity: the first nine folios are handwritten on parchment and the second half on paper. This is an interesting book, since centuries of history have modified its original appearance until it became what we are conserving today.

The characterization of what is assumed as a disaster is carried out in documentary collections, its distinctive elements and its dimensions in terms of level of impact; from this, guidelines are given to be able to provide “first aid” to funds and collections that have been damaged.

Presentation at the CRECS International Congress of Journals with recommendations of good practices for scientific journals on social networks, grouped into the following aspects: The journal and its team; Social platforms;Publishing strategy; Theme; Formats; Content curation; Relationship with the Community.

Citizen laboratories are an instrument that enables the direct participation of citizens in their community by facilitating collaboration between people through dialogue processes and experimentation and co-creation projects at different levels. The public library has found in the citizen laboratories a new way to connect with its territory, using its potential as a meeting and interaction space and as an agent of change. The objective of this work is to offer an approximation to what these initiatives are, how they work and what impact they have. To this end, professional practice has been analyzed, exploring three models (methodological approach) and two programs (experiential approach) of citizen laboratories in the context of the public library. Among the findings of the study, it stands out that there is no single methodology for these initiatives, but there are replicable models, while the analysis of the programs provides clues about the way in which they activate the social capital of the community. Finally, it is concluded that these laboratories are an effective formula for encouraging local participation and that they contribute to the redefinition and revaluation of the current public library, making them a practice to be included in the toolbox of library innovation.

This poster presents the "Apadrina un llibre!" project, especially focusing on the strategies used to encourage donations after two years of activity.

The institutional memory of the Central Argentina Republic Bank is formed by a large quantity of books, studies, publications and documents published by the Central Bank during its 75 years of existence. Bearing in mind that, among other meanings, memory means "reminiscing", "trace", it is important to realize the economic identity of the Argentina - without forgetting the present - so that it can be interpreted by successive generations.

The implementation of information literacy activities and programs occupies a central place in libraries in order to provide information and training on available services and resources, to promote the development of skills in the use and management of information and to strengthen the link with the user community. The return to post-pandemic presence in educational institutions was faced with the challenge of adopting the hybrid format with the design of didactic proposals according to user’ s needs and expectations. Likewise, the latest advances in artificial intelligence applied to research and learning present a new challenge and the need to strengthen the collaborative alliance with teachers and researchers to think of creative proposals together. The case of the Central Library of the National University of San Martín will be presented, which in recent years has built different in-person, virtual and hybrid spaces for information literacy.

The global and competitive environment in which higher education is currently immersed also affects Spanish higher music conservatories. They, like the universities, compete to attract and retain students and faculty, using different strategies to stand out and influence the choice process. Social networks are one of the strategies used for the positioning and differentiation of higher music conservatories, becoming the appropriate channel for: a) to show society the activities and value provided by conservatories; b) to communicate with students; and c) to involve teachers and students in the creation of the corporate image through interaction with the centre. The main objective of this paper is to analyse the communication strategy used by Spanish music conservatories in social networks. For this, the uses and contents of the social networks of the 36 public and private Spanish higher conservatories of music during the month of February 2022 have been analyzed through a descriptive and analytical research. We used as a reference the models proposed by Pérez-Bonaventura, Tárrega and Vilajosana (2021), Brito, Laaser and Toloza (2012) and Paniagua-Rojano and Gómez-Calderón (2012) for the analysis of the use of social networks in the Spanish and Catalan universities, adapted to Spanish and Catalan universities, adapted to the specificity and characteristics of conservatories. The results reveal an unequal presence of conservatoires in social networks, being its majority use the promotion of their activities for the educational community and with few incentives for participation. The reduced number of interactions generated seems to show the lack of a clear and differentiated strategic planning.

Presentation on good practices of content curation of Spanish libraries in social networks, at the XIX International Conference on University Libraries (UNAM, Mexico, 19 October 2022). A taxonomy of content curation in social networks is proposed and two of its elements of analysis are developed in the presentation, with examples: Curation techniques, from less to more value contribution (Extracting, Retitling, Summarizing, Commenting, Citing, Parallelizing, Storyboarding) and Social media platforms, from less to more sense making facilities (Flipboard, Spotify, TikTok, Pinterest, Paper.li, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, Facebook, YouTube, Newsletter, Blog, Twitter).

Covid-19 started a process of digital acceleration that has continued unstoppable as it has also been identified as one of the keys to getting out of the current economic and social crisis. Within this framework, the Spanish government has published the Charter of Digital Rights that aims at anticipating future conflict scenarios resulting from the new digital context. By sharing the main aspects of the digital divide with the principles established in the Charter, the social risks of an accelerated digital transformation are analysed. It is determined that the digital gaps of access, use and appropriation can limit people's access to certain rights, some of them fundamental.

A series of reflections are proposed around the understanding of the indigenous cultural identity of Argentina, the eventual contribution with experiences of documented orality in communities of native peoples and human libraries. Finally, the need to problematize the concept in the territory of Bilingual Intercultural Education is analyzed.

The study of paper in relation to photography has been addressed until now considering the technical aspects of the conservation and restoration of these materials as photographic support. In this article we propose a different, more historicist point of view, offering some brushstrokes on the types of paper that were used during the beginnings of photography, describing the main factories, brands and types of paper, and also the different roles played by the paper in its association with photography. We will study the paper as primary, secondary and tertiary support of photography, as well as the different formats in paper and cardboard used in this medium during its first decades of existence.

With the title La transformación de espacios librtecarios bajo el paradigma de la digitalización (The transformation of library spaces under the paradigm of digitalization), this paper's main objective is to establish four transversal aspects to be taken into account in any transformation and modification of the physical spaces of libraries, of any type of library. The paper starts from the observation of the paradox that the greater the digitization, and therefore the less need for physical spaces, the opposite is happening: namely, that the physical spaces of libraries are used more and more. Secondly, three theories are presented (some might even seem like a future trend) about the use and compartmentalization of physical library spaces. Finally, thirdly, these four transversal and global aspects are raised, which should always be kept in mind when facing a spatial transformation in any library; these points would be: light, comfort, circulation and people.

This paper reviews, using a descriptive approach, the characteristics of analysis and description of the ancient photography available on Wikimedia Commons. Six collections have been selected, provided by GLAM institutions. On a selection of 60 images, it is checked if they have been described following the Dublin Core, ISAD (G) or Europeana Data Model metadata schemas. The results obtained allow to affirm that description standards and metadata schemas are not applied. The development of semantic labeling in Wikimedia Commons may be an approach that offers a solution to these deficiencies.

An analysis of the current situation of journalistic newsletters and a proposal for a system for investigating journalistic curation in newsletters are presented along with some results obtained.

Library catalogs in any medium have always been the means par excellence of accessibility to the collection of said institutions and a possible way for the necessary control of authorities determined by the scientific-technical production of their authors, currently favored by the systems of search and retrieval of information provided by new technologies. This work presents solutions to the normalization problems that currently have some entries in the Library “Prof. Dr. José Arce ”from the School of Dentistry, University of Buenos Aires (hereinafter, UBA) in some personal names of dental authors, focusing more precisely on the sources of information necessary and used to help detect their correct normalization within the control of authorities, in order to boost technical services in Argentine libraries specialized in the subject and contribute to the necessary National Bibliographic Control through cooperation.

The classification tools and the controlled vocabularies have a long intervention in the scientific literature of biases and criticisms about their endemic problems in relation to the treatment of the contents referring to non-heteronormative affective-sexual panoramas. Queer and gender theory have made their great contributions in involving functional, social and democratic solutions within the information processing that help the user to interact with the catalog by training suitable, open and prepared professionals for this task. Achieving the aforementioned would imply getting rid of a hegemony in the cataloging / classification to successfully reach the institutional catalog and the correct approach to the reference, participating in an interaction / reflection of the users with the professionals, showing and teaching the accessibility of the information from an inclusive perspective. The present proposal is carried out through an analysis of the relevant literature, paying special attention to the resources that come from the critical perspective of Social Library and considering two main main approaches: first, to point out the existing methods of historical stigmatization in the treatment of the information that comes from the indexing processes and the second refers to possible tools to use to exercise good library practices, thus guaranteeing the recognition of all relevant discourse in relation to the representativeness and accessibility of the GLTTIBQ community.

The objective of this presentation is to comment on the experience of the virtual dictation of the subjects "Libraries in the Sociocultural Context" and "Information Resources and Services", belonging to the Higher Technique in Library Science and Information Sciences of the Institute of Higher Education N 6001 of the province of Salta. In each one of them, future librarians and librarians developed digital competencies that will serve as support for their future practice as information professionals.

Our work tries to share and account for the planning and systematization in social networks that we have been carrying out in Mar del Plata's FASTA University Library during the context of the Covid 19 pandemic. We have used a 5-stage work scheme: 1) Definition of objectives and priorities; 2) Generation of worksheet; 3) Scheduling; 4) Image search and template creation and 5) Publication. Regarding the projected published content, the following: ephemeris, dissemination of services, conservation tips, search tips, humor, phrases, interaction. Planning allows us to maintain a constant presence on social networks and at the same time simplify the dissemination process, guarantee a variety of quality publications and optimize time. However, we understand that it is not a closed recipe but a continuous development.

A brief reflection on the university link between Social Library training within the University of Buenos Aires with current society in times of pandemic and its necessary consolidation, reformulation and reflection of the necessary curricular spaces linking, information and knowledge is proposed. with the necessary social practices in times of emergency.

All services are important in a specialized library, but that of virtual reference becomes an essential component in an era traversed by the COVID 19 pandemic. Based on a sample of inquiries with particular characteristics that arrived at the CDI by email during 2020-2021 the so-called "orphan consultations" have been detected, defining and classifying them in order to study them and ask various questions about them, detailing the social and resilient actions of the CDI in search of collaboration with citizens during a time of deep crisis .

This paper reviews the study and use of the Wikipedia category system in the scientific research, adopting a systematic literature review approach, but considering the qualitative review of the content of a set of selected papers. Several types of work are identified, depending on the intrinsic study of the category system, or its use as a tool for the analysis of other documentary corpus other than Wikipedia. We conclude that the system of categories offers a valid classification scheme for different approaches and studies on the organization of knowledge in multiple contexts.

Proposal of a professional profile of the librarian/information scientist specialized in health sciences. In 2017 BiblioMadsalud held a working day from which emerged the proposal to create a permanent Working Group, #BiblioRHRH, whose main objective is the development of a professional profile for the need to adequately define the functions and skills of our profession, identifying areas of application in continuous changing. The most common problem in our field is that the figure of the health sciences librarian is not well defined. It means that jobs and competitive applications do not correspond to the specific professional librarian competencies and, therefore, with the skills, knowledge and mastery of the tools required to offer complete and high quality profesional librarian services. We take the document Professional Profiles of the Consejo de Cooperación Bibliotecaria as a reference and we’re working on the Health Sciences 3 Librarian profile elaboration, given that the publication allows the possibility of creating more specific and updated profiles. The aim of this paper is to present the Health Sciences Librarian profile elaborated by the BiblioMadSalud #BiblioRRHH Working Group.

Nowadays public libraries assume new challenges related with two of their functions: to provide access to information and digital literacy and to be a social space of its community. The aim of this paper was to analyze how Spanish public librarians perceive the social function and the digital inclusion function of their institutions, how they assume these missions and the competences that they consider most relevant for the implementation of these services. A qualitative methodology was applied, consisting in three focus groups with library staff of the Region of Murcia, taking into account for the classification of participants the number of inhabitants of the population in which they work as librarians. The analysis of the librarians' discourse reflected a mostly positive position towards these functions, although they described problems as insufficient training, the need of enough resources, and greater collaboration with other agents involved. To overcome these difficulties they highlighted the need for support from the Regional Library System through the Library Coordination Unit and the Regional Library.

The main focus of this paper is to provide a review of the scientific production in Information Literacy and mobile technologies (Mobile Information Literacy) between 2006 and 2017, quantifying from the altmetric perspectives. The altmetrics imply a complementary approach that can shed light on specific aspects which are not easy to be addressed by more traditional scientific approaches, neither bibliometric nor conceptual. That is why, the altmetrics include relevant features, like visualization, document downloads, quotes, recommendations and markers. These aspects can contribute to explain the impact and relevance of the scientific literatura from a wider perspective. A analysis of most altmetric impact documents was carried out to manifest the main research trends in the subdomain of the Infomation Science. After we had carried out our altmetric review, we concluded that this perspective, applied to the IL and the mobile technologies have become a growing trend that is reaching a significant relevance, in addition to the traditional bibliometric analysis, and that covers, in a context of mobile learning and relation, which are in a unstoppable procces of spiral growing, new and very significant dimensions in the approach to the impact and significance of the scientific production.

This work reviews the characteristics and features that semantic wikis should offer. To do this, it defines an ideal theoretical model, from which a functionalities analysis matrix is developed. This matrix applies to three applications widely regarded as semantic wikis. The results show that, although they are capable of implementing basic semantic web structures, there are differences in their approaches and performance. Improved processing of ontologies and other vocabularies, and linked data integration are developments needed in future versions of the tools.

On May 1, 2020, Sarah Elizabeth Lewis wondered, from the New York Times’ pages, where were the pictures of people dying from COVID-19, the images of the real victims of the pandemic (Lewis, 2020). She claimed to see images able to arise empathic responses from the audience. She defended the transformative potential of this kind of photography, as it is widely demonstrated by the legacy that some photojournalists have left behind us since they began to witness conflicts, wars, and natural disasters. However, the publication of sick, dying, or deceased people’s images in the media has become an increasingly exceptional fact, especially, when it comes to our dead or dying people. During the firsts weeks of the coronavirus crisis, the media, news agencies and freelance photographers have been trying to find situations and capture images capable of showing the exceptionality of this pandemic, as only photography knows to do it: in a synthetic, universal way, incorporating all those elements that transform a singular image into an iconic one. Photographs that over the years become a symbol of a moment, of an event, or a conflict. On June 3, David Ramos, photographer for the Getty Images agency, went to the Hospital del Mar, in Barcelona, to catch the moment when the medical team accompanied Mr. Isidre Correa, a COVID-19 patient who had been in suffering for more than 50 days in the ICU, to see the sea. The image went around the world immediately. Why did that photograph work? What visual elements does it contain that make it so exceptional? This communication analyses the persistence of visual tropes related to the photographic narration of catastrophes as well as their iconographic updates.

The COVID-19 crisis has generated a scenario of exceptional dimensions, due to the amount of data that is shared, and its global dimension. Much of this information —especially visual—, is transmitted through social networks. How will this collective heritage be preserved? What institutions, organizations and media are betting on citizen stories? This communication presents initiatives carried out in Spain to collect and preserve citizen information about the pandemic. They contemplate both the professional contribution and that generated by the audiences. The preliminary analysis makes it possible to draw first conclusions about the different models that have been applied, as well as the changes detected with respect to previous emergencies.
