Library visits in Chile
Tuesday, February 28th, 2006In Santiago, we visited the National Library of Chile. This is the main reading room.
Thanks to a contact Laura has, we were able to visit the Centro de Documentation at El Mercurio, the preeminent newspaper in Chile. I talked shop with the news librarians there — you know, indexing, databases, research, clip files. It was interesting to learn how similar their jobs are to mine.
That’s my gracious host, Veronica Vega, on the right.
