Eugeni d'Ors i les biblioteques: una aproximació a partir del Glosari

The article presents annotated selections of Eugeni d¿Ors comments concerning libraries and appearing in the newspaper, La veu de Catalunya, between 1906 and 1920. The selection from this Catalan author and politician focuses on two themes: the debate surrounding the creation of a library for scholars (1910) and the establishment of public libraries (1915).

Bitàcoles i sindicació de continguts: dues eines per difondre informació

The article describes blogs and content syndication as tools for disseminating information in libraries and other information centres, as well as in educational and research environments. The authors begin by defining each of these tools, followed by a review of their history and a discussion of how they have been used. Finally, possible applications are suggested for library environments and research spaces, while offering considerations about what activities the library community might carry out in order to convert these tools into an effective means of communication

Els fons i les col·leccions d'arxiu a les biblioteques: models per al seu control i accés

First, we examine the context of creation of special collection units in libraries, and the reasons why libraries compile archive materials and collections. Second, we focus on the techniques used in library environments to describe archive materials and collections and to guarantee their accessibility. We examine the models used in the United States and the United Kingdom to describe and access these materials, and the cooperative projects launched in these two countries in the past few years. Finally, we offer a preliminary analysis of how these types of materials are currently dealt with in Catalan libraries, and issue some recommendations to improve their archiving and access.
