The forth day: 26th

Hi again, Today was scheduled with the library visits suggested by IFLA secreteriat, we had to registered from a month ago.Let me indicate frankly that our libraries are much better than theirs!!! They use Dewey and did not expand it like iranians for Farsi, They have to re-built the library internal structure but not the outlook of the buildings that's why Milan looks like the 17th century, this may cause some problems for libraries regarding to the preservation, for sure. The Librarian does not have the highest prestigue here, the people use to read a lot, though. Beside, the Italian youth avoid going to school and finishing their highschool so the libraries have some projects to attract them to study!!! The music and movie collection is well-acquisied so the young come over to check out the new issues.
You can not find any difference between the library,houses, or museum here, everything seems old by the first glance!! Italian loves everything in it's traditional manner, they spend lots of time to have a good food and hanging out with the old friends. They don't bother themselves for the bad spirit and just go for fun, is obvious from their working environment. They concern about their clothes specially at work, It was amazing for me cause even in U.S. they have a uniform for a work environment which is going on here!
Comparing with Iran LIS achievment, I think they are far from us according to the librarians knowledge, I believe our problems get rouths in the financial issues.
P.S: I have some comments about Ifla on the whole, the management issues, the schedeling, time tables and so forth which I am going to write later.
To put MILAN in a nutshel, Not taking care of tourist issues, I am wondering how Italy attracts the tourists, there is almost nothing in English here and IFLA did not even offer anything regarding to the city orientation. Comparing with Norway, I found IFLA 2005 much better than this year, this is what I have heard from many participant.
