Abstract

This paper presents the report resulting from the questionnaire launched by the “Grupo de Trabajo de Análisis y Prospectiva de las Bibliotecas en Andalucía” (Workgroup of Analysis and Prospective of the Libraries in Andalusia) of the AAB (Andalusian Librarians Association), in May and June 2021. It shows the situation of the Andalusian libraries during the lockdown and during the current world health alert situation caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The data analyze the situation from the perspective of the transformation of the services and their innovation: changes in the opening times of libraries, new work modes, among others. The paper analyzes a representative sample of Andalusian libraries and documentation centers extracted from the regional administration official directories. The report ends with some conclusions and thoughts, which hopefully will help to understand and verify the new Andalusian library reality, with the aim that they are taken into account and that they help in the future to make decisions regarding the profession.

Abstract

If you have torn yourself away from the virtual library that is the Internet long enough to visit a real library, you know that the smell of old books -- musty, slightly acidic, even grassy -- is instantly recognizable. But is it quantifiable? And if so, might old-book odor prove useful to librarians and conservators charged with preserving collections? Matija Strlic, a researcher with the Center for Sustainable Heritage at University College London, thinks it might. With colleagues in Slovenia and with the assistance of the National Archives of the Netherlands, he has published proof-of-concept research that shows that it is possible to understand both the composition and condition of old paper by analyzing the volatile organic compounds they emit.
