Third day: 25th of Aug

Hi again, I can tell today was one of the rough days, I'd been in the poster session and taken so many pictures, I am going to add them to the weblog later,it's too much to be upload at the moment, They are great in bringing up a think to a bright idea!!

Visiting the rest of boothes I found a database in French for European documents which supports A PAY TO GO document delivery services, the seller was looking forward the financial barriers faces Iranian companies. The interesting part was the designers of libraries and Inf. Centers, they had brough up an idea of a SCREAMING ROOM and a BOXING room in the library in Poland which help the youthes to get through their excitement as well as anger!!! I have to show you the pictures, you gonna be amazed of what they have done with the libraries, it's a WOW one!!( makes you to say WOWWW)

There were also some companies demonestrating their digitalizing services and machines, this can be useful for irandoc as it has so many products, it can also help other insitute to digitalize theirs. In the meantime, there was a booth for CLEANING the book, the machin which cleans every book to get ride of dusts authomatically, I asked them if there have the same machine for cleaning the house, it was a joke though!!!

I've met many publication such as Bowker, J-stor, Duke University and so forth. It was informative. Oh, by the way there were a booth dedicate to European library which claims to solve the copyright problems, I have to check out the website to be assure of this, go to http://www.arrow-net.eu/ to find more about their goals. The responsible person was suprised by Iranian women's improvement specially in science and Technology.

Last but not least, I have to inform that the San Jose university in California has run a new program for master of LIS in a brand new field, you have to check out the website. They have new contract with Queensland of Australia for those have problem to go to U.S.!!check their site out, that would be intersting.

The day has end with a cultural program of Ifla which is run every year by ifla includes the cultural related events of the host country, honestly, this was the only time I could have found a time to visit the Doumo church, there was a concert their arranged by Ifla and a gallery to visit about Mont, the italian painter, works.
