Augusto Pinochet</a> (1973-1990). The collection was recently purchased by Harvard and is currently available online for everyone to use.</p>
<p>In many cases these slides are the only record left of many of these murals, since they were quickly painted over by the regime. The murals document people&#8217;s anger, frustration and cries for help during the dictatorship.</p>
<p>While going through the collection you are likely to find many a familiar face, including <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pablo_Neruda">Pablo Neruda</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriela_Mistral">Gabriela Mistral</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%ADctor_Jara">Víctor Jara</a>, president <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador_Allende">Salvador Allende</a>, and many other famous Chileans.</p>
<p><a href="http://via.lib.harvard.edu/via/deliver/deepLinkResults?kw1=Chilean%20Protest%20Murals%20Photograph%20Collection&amp;index1=Anywhere&amp;repositoryLimit=Widener%20Library">You can begin browsing all 500+ photographs here</a>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">En ese mismo panel de SALALM titulado &#8220;La documentación en tiempos de adversidad, supervivencia y esperanza&#8221; mi amiga Lynn Shirey presentó sobre una colección de diapositivas por el fotógrafo Andrés Romero Spethman, recién adquiridas  documentando los <a href="http://hcl.harvard.edu/collections/digital_collections/chile_murals.cfm">Murales de Protesta Chilenos</a> durante la dictadura del <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augusto_Pinochet_Ugarte">general Augusto Pinochet</a> (1973 &#8211; 1990). La colección fue adquirida recientemente por Harvard y actualmente está disponible en línea para uso de todos.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"> En muchos casos estas diapositivas son el único registro que queda de estos murales ya que fueron borrados con rapidez por el régimen. Los murales documentan la indignación del pueblo, su frustración y sus gritos de socorro durante la dictadura.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Mientras mira la colección seguro encontrara más de una cara conocida, incluyendo a <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neruda">Pablo Neruda</a>, <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gabriela_Mistral">Gabriela Mistral</a>, <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/V%C3%ADctor_Jara">Víctor Jara</a>, el presidente <a href="http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvador_Allende">Salvador Allende</a>, y muchos otros chilenos famosos.</span></p>

Last weekend I was attending the annual <a href="http://www.salalm.org/">SALALM</a> <a href="http://library.brown.edu/salalm2010/">conference</a> and heard about a lot of great projects relating to libraries and Latin American. <a href="http://balseros.miami.edu/">The Cuban Rafter Phenomenon: A Unique Sea Exodus</a> project is one of them. I heard about this project on a panel titled &#8220;Documenting in Times of Adversity, Survival and Hope.&#8221; María Rita Corticelli from the University of Exeter was the official presenter, but Holly Ackerman from Duke University was there as well, since this project was derived from her PhD program with the help of a few other scholars in the area.</p>
<p>The site focuses on the Cubans who left the island during the raft crisis of 1994, gathering interviews, photographs, videos. The site is divided into three main areas; Part I &#8211; What is the Rafter Crisis? ; Part II &#8211; Interdicted: The Rafters Go to Guantánamo  ; Part III &#8211; Crisis in the Wider Caribbean – The Case of the Cayman Islands. Each section is further subdivided.</p>
<p>While going through the collection I notice that the topic is covered from a variety of viewpoints, including the rafters themselves, US Coast guard officials, Cuban children,  and local politicians. And all aspects of the phenomenon are documented as well. You&#8217;ll find photographs of the rafts,  several timelines of key events, an interactive map, and scanned documents.</p>
<p>Be aware that the site has some very obnoxious background noise.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">El fin de semana pasado asistía a la conferencia anual de SALALM y me entere de una cantidad de proyectos super interesantes relacionados con bibliotecas y América Latina. The Cuban Rafter Phenomenon: A Unique Sea Exodus (El fenómeno del balsero cubano: una experiencia única de éxodo) es uno de ellos. Me enteré de este proyecto en un panel titulado &#8220;La documentación en tiempos de adversidad, supervivencia y esperanza.&#8221; María Rita Corticelli de la Universidad de Exeter fue el presentador oficial, pero Holly Ackerman de la Universidad Duke estaba allí también, ya que este proyecto se deriva de su programa de doctorado con la ayuda de algunos otros expertos en el campo.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">El sitio se centra en los cubanos que abandonaron la isla durante la crisis balsa de 1994, y recopila  entrevistas, fotografías, y videos. El sitio se divide en tres áreas principales: Parte I &#8211; ¿Cuál es la Crisis de los Balseros? ; Parte II &#8211; Prohibido: Los balseros van a Guantánamo; Parte III &#8211; Crisis en el  Caribe &#8211; El Caso de las Islas Caimán. Cada sección se subdivide.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Al analizar la colección me doy cuenta de que el tema se trata de una variedad de puntos de vista, incluyendo los balseros, funcionarios de la Guardia Costera de EEUU, niños cubanos y varios políticos. Todos los aspectos del fenómeno se documentan también. Usted encontrará fotografías de las balsas, líneas de tiempo de varios de los eventos clave, un mapa interactivo y documentos escaneados.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Tenga en cuenta que el sitio incluye un ruido de fondo muy desagradable.</span></p>

The author comments that Peru has one of the worst cases of book pirating in all of Latin America, and that books from all over the world find their way into the industry. It seems that the people producing these books are so &#8220;skilled&#8221; they often ofter pirated version of titles that have not yet been published, or translated into Spanish! The author also comments that authors from the region both dream and dread being pirated; being pirated can be the equivalent to reaching the best sellers list.</p>
<p>Take a look at the full slide show <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/gallery/2010/jan/18/book-pirates-peru">here</a>.</p>

<p><span style="color: #888888;">Hace un par de días mi papá me envió esta presentación fotográfica de la BBC sobre la industria del libro pirata en el Perú. El autor comenta que el Perú tiene uno de los peores casos de piratería de libros en toda América Latina, y que los libros de todo el mundo encuentran camino a esta industria  Parece que las personas que producen estos libros son tan &#8220;experto&#8221; que a menudo ofrecen  la versión pirata de títulos que aún no han sido publicados o traducidos al español! El autor también comenta que los autores de la región tanto sueño como temen ser pirateados; la piratería puede ser el equivalente a llegar a la lista de best sellers.</span></p>

I was there with my mother and brother and we took one of the guided tours of the building. This tour starts off with a short movie including a number of brief interviews with some of the librarians who highlight many of the treasures in the collection. The tour focuses more of the history of the library, and explain a good amount of the art found on the walls of the building, but doesn&#8217;t say much about the library&#8217;s holdings.</p>
<p>As a very <a href="http://www.loc.gov/about/history.html">brief recap</a>; the library was established in 1800 by an act of Congress and was originally housed inside the Capitol building. In August of 1814 British troops set fire to the building, destroying the entire collection. Shortly thereafter, former president Thomas Jefferson offered to sell his entire collection to rebuild the library. Congress decides to buy his collection and begin to redevelop the library. This original collection is on display, and still in use.</p>
<p>In case you haven&#8217;t heard, the USA doesn&#8217;t technically have a national library, instead the Library of Congress (LOC) fills this role. And while the library works for the needs of Congress, they work to collect on all things USA related and their collections include millions of items from around the world. As the country&#8217;s legal deposit the LOC holds of copy of every single book published in the USA, and any book published abroad that has been translated for the USA market.</p>
<p>From the millions of items the LOC holds they have some of the most amazing collections in the country. The <a href="http://www.loc.gov/folklife/aboutafc.html">American Folklife Center</a> gathers audio recordings on pretty much every posible topic, they collect and produce<a href="http://www.loc.gov/nls/"> reading material for the blind and physically handicapped</a>, <a href="http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/index.html">American Memory</a> provides access to many of their holdings related to American history in a variety of formats, <a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/">THOMAS</a> was launched in 1995 to make available legislation information, they also participate in the <a href="http://www.loc.gov/wdl/">World Digital Library</a>.</p>
<p>The LOC also has a lot of free resources for librarians. You can browse through their <a href="http://catalog.loc.gov/">OPAC</a>, search through their <a href="http://authorities.loc.gov/">Authorities</a> files, look through their <a href="http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/catalog.html">Print &amp; Photographs</a>, and listen through their <a href="http://star1.loc.gov/cgi-bin/starfinder/0?path=sonic.txt&amp;id=webber&amp;pass=webb1&amp;OK=OK">Sound Inventory</a>. There is also the handy <a href="http://www.loc.gov/z3950/">Z39.50</a> which allows you to run simultaneous searches through their catalogs and several other libraries around the globe.</p>
<p>All in all it was a great visit, even through it including a minor scare due to a suspected gunman in the area. The library was briefly locked down, but 30 minutes later we were on our way again. Before leaving the library we did see the <a href="http://www.loc.gov/today/placesinthenews/archive/2009arch/20090513_waldseemuller.html">oldest known map where the American continent is named as such</a>, and a <a href="http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/treasures/tr00.html#decl">draft to the Declaration of Independence</a>!</p>
<p>If you are in DC stop by and visit the library, and if you are elsewhere take a look at their countless resources online. And keep in mind that on top of everything you&#8217;ll find at their website, they also have a <a href="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/2008/01/24/the-commons/">Flickr account</a>, and an <a href="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/2009/04/11/library-of-congress-on-youtube/">account on Youtube</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/loc31.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-4377" title="loc3" src="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/loc31.jpg" alt="" width="615" height="461" /></a></p>

<p><span style="color: #888888;">Hoy me pasé el día en la<a href="http://www.loc.gov/index.html"> Biblioteca del Congreso</a> y me encantó. Fui de visita con mi madre y mi hermano y tomamos una de las visitas guiadas del edificio. Este tur comienza con una breve película incluyendo una serie de breves entrevistas con algunos de los bibliotecarios que ponen de relieve muchos de los tesoros de la colección. La gira se centra más de la historia de la biblioteca, y explicar una buena cantidad del arte encontradas en las paredes del edificio pero no dice mucho acerca de los colección de la biblioteca.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Como un <a href="http://www.loc.gov/about/history.html">resumen muy breve</a>, la biblioteca fue creada en 1800 por una ley del Congreso y fue alojado en el interior del edificio del Capitolio. En agosto de 1814 las tropas británicas prendieron fuego al edificio destruyendo toda la colección. Poco después el eh presidente Thomas Jefferson ofreció a vender toda su colección para reconstruir la biblioteca. El Congreso decide comprar su colección y empezar a rehabilitar la biblioteca. Esta colección original está en exhibición, y todavía en uso. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">En caso de que no han oído, los EE.UU. técnicamente no tiene una biblioteca nacional, en su lugar la Biblioteca del Congreso (LOC) cumple este papel. Y mientras que la biblioteca trabaja para abastecer las necesidades del Congreso, también recoger material relacionado con EE.UU., además sus colecciones incluyen millones de artículos de todo el mundo. Como el depósito legal del país, el a LOC guarda copia de cada libro publicado en los EE.UU., y cualquier libro publicado en el extranjero que se ha traducido para el mercado de EE.UU.. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Entre los millones de artículos de la LOC esta tiene algunos de los coleccione más sorprendentes en el país. El <a href="http://www.loc.gov/folklife/aboutafc.html">American Folklife Cente</a>r reúne grabaciones de audio de prácticamente cualquier tema, recogen y producen <a href="http://www.loc.gov/nls/">material de lectura para ciegos y disminuidos físicos</a>, el <a href="http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/index.html">American Memory</a> proporciona acceso a muchas de sus propiedades relacionadas con la historia de Estados Unidos en una variedad de formatos, <a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/">THOMAS</a> fue puesto en marcha en 1995 para que información sobre legislación fuese disponible de manera gratuita, y también participan en la <a href="http://www.loc.gov/wdl/">Biblioteca Digital Mundial</a>. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><a href="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/loc21.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-4379" title="loc2" src="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/loc21.jpg" alt="" width="369" height="492" /></a>La LOC también tiene una gran cantidad de recursos gratis para los bibliotecarios. Usted puede navegar a través de su <a href="http://catalog.loc.gov/">catálogo en línea</a>, buscar a través de sus archivos de <a href="http://authorities.loc.gov/">autoridades</a>, mirar a través de sus <a href="http://www.loc.gov/rr/print/catalog.html">láminas y fotografías</a>, y escuchar a través de su <a href="http://star1.loc.gov/cgi-bin/starfinder/0?path=sonic.txt&amp;id=webber&amp;pass=webb1&amp;OK=OK">inventario de sonido</a>.

<p><span style="color: #888888;">En total fue una visita estupenda,  incluso incluyendo un pequeño susto debido a un supuesto agresor armado en la zona. La biblioteca fue brevemente bloqueada, pero 30 minutos después estábamos nuevamente de paseo. Antes de salir de la biblioteca que vimos el <a href="http://www.loc.gov/today/placesinthenews/archive/2009arch/20090513_waldseemuller.html">mapa más antiguo conocido en el que el continente americano se nombra como tal</a>, ¡y un<a href="http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/treasures/tr00.html#decl"> proyecto de la Declaración de la Independencia</a>!</span></p>

To commemorate this history and anticipating many new adventures to come, the <a href="http://collection.peacecorps.gov/">Peace Corps has created a digital library</a> which encourages current and past volunteers to <a href="http://www.peacecorps.gov/index.cfm?shell=resources.returned.digitallibrary.photosubmissions">submit photographs</a> and <a href="http://www.peacecorps.gov/index.cfm?shell=resources.returned.digitallibrary.storysubmissions">stories</a> of their experiences abroad. At the very minimum the collection wishes to gather photographs and stories from every country they have sent volunteers to, and every decade.</p>
<p>Over the years I&#8217;ve met a lot of Peace Corps volunteers, all with amazing stories; I&#8217;ve even the child of a former volunteer, so  I&#8217;ll certainly be keeping an eye on this collection.</p>

<p><span style="color: #888888;">Ya van casi cincuenta años desde que el Cuerpo de Paz comenzó a enviar voluntarios por todo el mundo para ayudar con una variedad de proyectos. Para conmemorar esta historia y proveyendo que habrán muchas aventuras por venir, el <a href="http://collection.peacecorps.gov/">Cuerpo de Paz ha creado una biblioteca digital</a> que alienta voluntarios actuales y pasados a presentar <a href="http://www.peacecorps.gov/index.cfm?shell=resources.returned.digitallibrary.photosubmissions">fotografías</a> y <a href="http://www.peacecorps.gov/index.cfm?shell=resources.returned.digitallibrary.storysubmissions">relatos</a> de sus experiencias en el extranjero. Como mínimo la colección desea recoger fotografías e historias de todos los países donde han enviado voluntarios, y de cada década.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">A través de los años he conocido muchos voluntarios del Cuerpo de Paz, todos con increíbles historias, incluso soy hija de un ex-voluntario; sin duda estaré mirando el desarrollo de esta  colección.</span></p>

The guidelines for the interviews are simple; you must live in one of the five boroughs, have never been mentioned in the NYT, be willing to be photographs, and be a good talker. The stories don&#8217;t aim at highlighting great accomplishments, but rather wish to share people&#8217;s passions, dreams, and struggles. The stories end up being a very personal look at a city that often feels overwhelming. It&#8217;s a look a people&#8217;s private lives, their interactions with a city that can seem mythical, or all too real.</p>
<p>I found stories of an <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/nyregion/1-in-8-million/index.html#melissa_dixson">Urban Taxidermist</a>, a  <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/nyregion/1-in-8-million/index.html#alexandra_elman">Blind Wine Taster</a>, and an <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/nyregion/1-in-8-million/index.html#mark_mocha">Ex-Bank Robber</a>, among many others.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/03/business/media/03askthetimes.html">article</a> explaining a bit more of the process that takes place to find subject, conduct the interviews, and other aspects of the project.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/nyregion/1-in-8-million/index.html#melissa_dixson"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3132" title="urban taxidermist" src="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/urban-taxidermist.jpg" alt="urban taxidermist" width="526" height="349" /></a></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><a href="http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/nyregion/1-in-8-million/index.html">Uno de cada 8 millones</a> es un proyecto del New York Times que muestra perfiles de los personajes de la ciudad. Las directrices para las entrevistas son simples, usted debe vivir en uno de los cinco condados, nunca haber sido mencionados en el NYT, estar dispuesto a ser fotografiado, y ser un buen orador. Las historias no tienen por objeto poner en relieve los grandes logros de estas personas, más bien desea compartir sus pasiones, sueños y luchas. Las historias terminan siendo un aspecto muy personal de una ciudad que menudo puede ser abrumadora. Es una mirada a las vidas  privadas de estas personas, y sus interacciones con una ciudad que puede parecer mítica, o a ratos demasiado real.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">He descubierto historias de una <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/nyregion/1-in-8-million/index.html#melissa_dixson">taxidermista urbana</a>, una <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/nyregion/1-in-8-million/index.html#alexandra_elman">catadora de vinos ciega</a>, y un <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/packages/html/nyregion/1-in-8-million/index.html#mark_mocha">antiguo ladrón de bancos</a>, entre muchos otros. </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">He aquí un <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/03/business/media/03askthetimes.html">artículo</a> que explica un poco más del proceso que se lleva a cabo para encontrar las personas a entrevistas, realizar las entrevistas, y otros aspectos del proyecto. </span></p>
