yesterday and today fromthe other point of view

Thanks to Mrs. Moradi for creating this blog and sorry for my delay because of some problems in my notebook.
Yesterday (23 August): after the opening ceremony, I took part in new commers section. in fact it was a friendly meeting for introducing some sections of IFLA to new commers and serious discussion wasn’t presented. “IFLA is the voice of libraries” was announced as IFLA2009 motto. Then, I went to exhibition in which some publishers were introducing their products. My visit was short because exhibition visiting is my tomorrow schedule.

Today(24 August): according to our schedule, I participated in EBSCO demo present. In its panel, the participants asked some questions about this database. I liked to know more about EBSCO, so after the meeting, I had a long dialogue with its sale manager. After that, I went to the exhibition and visited some exhibitors. In the view of communication, I believe that visiting exhibition is the most important part of our attendance. Their indexing policy or procedure for our journal (JIST) indexing by these databases, was one of my questons. Additionally, they were questioned about their tools, policy, and cost of their services.
I also took part in two sections: open access and copy right that the first one was very useful and the second was very professional in which some google experts raised new topics.

second day: 24th PART 2

It seems I ran out of energy, the conversation part at the morning drained lots of energy,but I am really happy of suprising them with a decent package of Irandoc stuffs, Thanks to Mr.Razmi and his colleagues,hopefully we are going to recieve feedbacks after the conference from this part!

The evening was booked with the elearning in next generation librarians and open access session in which Dr.Kousha had a present!

I am going to add some issues which to have to be focused on the further researched derived from these sessions, I hope there would be a time to upload them, I am thinking about an innovative way to publish them, what's your idea?

The posters gonna be demonestrated tomorrow!!

The openning ceremony has begon and the salon is full so they set another salone for others,hopefully we got spots to enter the main salon with the translators,the program is in En, Fr, and Italy including a short episode, four tableaus, and some speeches.
Ifla president has mentioned about creativity in libraries,open access and the correlation of business and libraries. The tableaus are focusing on cultural heritage and the library roles in this issues, the message of the latest was about books never go off fasion, they mixed the subject with fasion and catwalk in Milan, It was hillarious.
