This anniversary volume of the Association for the Teaching of Spanish in Higher Education in the United Kingdom is a compilation of contributions made by members and delegates at the 2019 ELEUK annual conference held at the University of Edinburgh. Throughout the book, authors share their teaching, assessment, and research practice in the area of Spanish Language Teaching (SLT). From strategies to enhance student engagement and foster student agency to reflections on language teaching practice from diverse angles, these nine short papers contribute to current debates around foreign language pedagogy, with a focus on teaching Spanish in the higher education context. [For the two out of nine papers in this volume written in English, see ED606533 and ED606534.]

Through the following text we intend to provide some practical advice to carry out the complex task of moving a library. These recommendations arise from the experiences lived towards the end of 2018, during the transfer, due to building remodeling, of the 25,000 documents that make up the bibliographic collection of the library of the FASTA University (Fraternity of St. Thomas Aquinas groups) of Mar del Plata. Our intention is to share with the library community all the data collected, materials used, images recorded and forms designed throughout the whole process of the move, so that they may be useful at the time of starting a similar task. The move was divided into four stages, where all the actions that integrate them have had the fundamental purpose of preserving the collection and promptly resuming the usual services. These stages are: 1) the planning and calculation of the materials; 2) cleaning of the books and shelves; 3) the packing of documents, furniture and equipment; 4) relocation of the collections. In addition, we have included a section on the occupational health and safety of all the personnel involved in and responsible for the various tasks involved in the move. The recommendations and precautions that were taken into account when handling the tools and the bibliographic collections are developed throughout all the stages of the move. Finally, we share the graphic images and digital publications that we used to disseminate and inform the entire educational community about the important changes in the services during the move, through the different channels of the library and the institution.

This Spanish translation of ED 132 428 includes the three papers representing Office of Education attempts to face the need for improving delivery of career education to special portions of the population. New additions are brief sections on basic definitions and additional considerations of the significance of work. The first paper, on career education for minority and low income persons, states that career education for this segment of the population has been a matter of over-promise and under-delivery. Promises and problems are discussed as conceptual, process, and programmatic assumptions of career education. The second paper, on career education for gifted and talented persons, discusses special problems involved in program development, such as career decision making, the development of talent, and work experience. In the third paper, on career education and the handicapped person, statistical predictions concerning under-employment and unemployment of handicapped high school graduates during the next four years are cited to emphasize the need for making career education opportunities available. These basic career education principles are stressed as particularly relevant for the handicapped: the right to choose from a wide range of personally meaningful work opportunities and emphasis on accomplishments and discovery of an individual's talents rather than limitations.

This handbook has been conceived as a guide for young researchers embarking on the exciting journey of investigating different aspects of plurilingual education. The text can also serve to review ideas previously encountered, and perhaps as a means of interrogating research methodologies in plurilingual contexts for those who already have ample experience under their belt. The idea of carrying out research can seem daunting at the beginning for those who are not immersed in the world of investigation. This handbook hopes to calm some of those qualms by offering descriptions of different methodologies together with case studies that exemplify those methodologies, as well as chapters that provide practical tips to help the researcher in the compilation, organization and analysis of research data. Following a prologue written by Amparo Tusón Valls and an introduction entitled "Qualitative approaches to research on plurilingual education" by Melinda Dooly and Emilee Moore, this book is divided into two sections. Section I, contains the following chapters: (1) Doing research with teachers (Luci Nussbaum); (2) Investigating one's own teaching practices using action research (Xavier Pascual); (3) Producing knowledge about plurilingualism with young students: A challenge for collaborative ethnography (Virginia Unamuno and Adriana Patiño); (4) An ethnographic approach to the study of linguistic varieties used by young Latin Americans in Barcelona (Víctor Corona); (5) A Mediated Discourse Analysis (MDA) approach to multimodal data (Melinda Dooly); (6) Educational ethnography in blended learning environments (Victoria Antoniadou and Melinda Dooly); and (7) Conversation analysis at the service of research in the field of second language acquisition (CA-for-SLA) (Dolors Masats). Section II presents the following chapters: (8) Research ethics (Melinda Dooly, Emilee Moore, and Claudia Vallejo); (9) Instruments for gathering data (Laia Canals); (10) Collecting, transcribing, analyzing and presenting plurilingual interactional data (Emilee Moore and Júlia Llompart); (11) Collecting, organizing and analyzing multimodal data sets: The contributions of CAQDAS (Victoria Antoniadou); and (12) How to write a research paper (Eulàlia Borràs). An epilogue (Artur Noguerol) is and an author index are also provided. Individual papers provide references. [Individual papers in this volume are presented in English and in either Spanish or Catalan.This project has been financed by the Research Group on Plurilingual Interaction and Teaching (GREIP, 2014 SGR 595), of which the editors and authors are all members. ]

This paper analyzes the concept of digital collections (DC) from the point of view of digital libraries, virtual libraries and digital archives, including the most diverse groupings of digital objects. Also are considered approaches to digital humanities and the conception of digital collections as data and Data collections. From the analysis is derived that under the term there are very different approaches. These ones come from the original disciplines, the context in which they are formulated or the institutions that support them, among many other elements that participate transversely. The DC are then considered subsumed in the concept of a border object, that is, a flexible entity that adapts to the needs and limitations of the various groups that use it, although it is robust enough to maintain a common identity in different areas. DC are used in libraries, archives and museums and are associated with very heterogeneous value-added services. The phases of the life cycle of the DC between the different approaches are analyzed, concluding that there are many correlations between the stages and the elements present using different optics. Finally, good practices that include aspects that are considered most significant in the design of the DC are developed: standards, interoperability, licensing, accessibility, semantic data, management, preservation, services, interaction and free software applications.

In the light of the research "Curriculum evaluation model in Library Science and Documentation in Latin America", presents a reflection on what can be understood by curricular evaluation in the context of higher education and is specifically within the library field, followed by a The European Commission’s White Paper In particular, from the perspective of the training of professionals from the University and the librarianship, which is complemented by some examples of indicators to be defined according to the proposal of structural axes put forward by Jorge González González and his team of research to conclude with some conclusions on the subject boarded.

In the National Autonomous University of Mexico, in principle from the cuib, University Center for Library Research, which today has become the iibi, Library and Information Research Institute, research activities in the field of library education have been developed with the support of Dr Lina Escalona Ríos, teacher and researcher of the Institute and who has been in charge of the Permanent Seminar of Library Education for several years. This Seminar is made up of researchers from different Latin American countries, a collective that promotes research with the contributions of professors from universities of different schools of library science in Latin America and Spain. It is a collaborative work that focuses on issues related to library education, in light of the demands that arise in social, political, economic, cultural and educational media. It highlights research in the field of library education responding to the need to address the improvement of library training processes in the Ibero-American context and identify the main problems and aspects from this perspective educational perspective. It also seeks to deepen aspects related to curricular processes, curriculum evaluation, accreditation activities, library training profiles, the professional labour market and the profile of teachers who train librarians, among other related topics. In this sense, some research methodologies that are evidenced in some of the research processes carried out in the field of library education are illustrated below, based on personal experience working with the iibi Library Education Permanent Seminar, unam. Based on the above, some research experiences in the field of library education are presented below, in the light of several of the investigations carried out; as well as their topics, their research questions, its methodologies, to finally give an account of it before the Seminar that took place in the city of Medellín in 2010 to culminate with some conclusions on what was discussed in this paper.

This conference had the aimed to promote the debate on the future of public libraries, current theme by issues such as increasing digitization of works, the digital market of reading or the beginning of conception of these centers as “third place". As a result of the conference, some works on the topic were made by several professionals who participated in it, trying to go beyond the usual conference papers.

The objective of this paper is to show the tools that allow the compilation of researchers scientific production, making possible to carry out comparative analysis between them. We propose a strategy that favours the research visibility and impact in the academic environment, through the proper use of digital author identifiers (ORCID, ResearcherID, AuthorID, Dialnet, Google Scholar Citations).

The Second International marked a stage in the history of the labor movement characterized by the formation of mass parties, the growth of trade unions, the development of numerous social organizations and the constitution of an international sphere for the circulation of ideas. In this paper we comparatively investigate the debates on imperialism of two of its most important parties, the German (SPD) and French (SFIO) Social Democracy. We inquire into his analysis of European colonial expansion, the causes of imperialism, and the prospects for a war between the powers. In turn, we examine their political action around these issues and the positions on imperialism of their main internal tendencies, weighing their impact on party politics. Both organizations debated and positioned themselves on these issues within the framework of an agitated political situation marked by wars of conquest, episodes of rebellion in the colonies and various war crises between European states. The contradictory development of these debates is an important factor in explaining the different reactions in these parties to the First World War and the subsequent split of international socialism between communists and reformists.
