For me it was a real pleasure to have participated in the IX Congress ISKO Spanish Chapter: New perspectives for the diffusion of knowledge and organization, where I took my paper entitled Program for Information Competencies Development of the Pedro Grases Library: Present and Future. This is the last paper containing the experience I integrated about information literacy in the Pedro Grases Library of the Metropolitan University of Venezuela, so this marks a before and after in my career, I want to develop further research on Information Literacy, though perhaps some other topics will arise, product of the master course I’m studying
.
Fortunately I found economic accommodation within the Polytechnic University of Valencia, in the Colegio Mayor Galileo Galilei.
It was very nice to be in Valencia for a few days, and finally know Spain, its splendid weather, noise, only comparable to that of Caracas, to see the “fallas” in the streets and see and know special people in Congress, such as Emilia Currás, Blanca Rodríguez Bravo, Tomas Baiget, Jesús Tramullas, Rosa San Segundo, among others, most important figures and heavily cited in the Spanish literature about Information Science. I share with you the slides of my presentation .
ave been on purpose? I hope that this incident is not the rule. Another funny thing is that this airport was announced by the speaker system something like: “At this airport we don’t make any significant announcements,” and for a bonus, there was a 5
from the Polytechnic University, the place I were to head the next day.The goal of all this? Getting to Valencia, Spain to participate as a speaker at the IX Congress ISKO, Spanish Chapter entitled: New perspectives for the organization and dissemination of knowledge. At this conference I took my paper: “Program for Information Competencies Development of the Pedro Grases Library: Present and Future.”
Management and Human Resources Management, also Italian classes, now I have a lot of material to read and things to do … I especially like the Information and Knowledge Management because it’s a familiar topic and one I like, and the teachers, Sirje Virkus and Aira Lepik are very kind and friendly, they even organized a reception for the students from the Digital Library Learning, where they had the tables with the flags from all countries where we came, it was too much, really.
I haven’t published anything in quite some time, specially on what I’m doing now, I hope I can change that and spend some more time to blog. I take this opportunity to write the first major change for which I am going. Currently I am in the city of Oslo (Norway), in the first semester of the International Master in Digital Library Learning. The following are in Tallinn (Estonia) and Parma (Italy).
