American Libraries viewed by the Slovak Librarian

April 28, 2008

More than 30 Slovak librarians got a chance to acquire fresh information about American libraries on April 28, when Jana Ilavská presented her experience and views gained during a 2007 International Visitor Program on American libraries, at InfoUSA in University Library Bratislava. She spoke about public libraries, academic libraries (for example,  Seattle Public Library, New York Public Library, Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, Columbia University), publishing houses and the American Libraries Annual Conference. As the person responsible for library information systems at Comenius University in Bratislava, she focused on new technologies in libraries, e-communication with users and implications for library management. This was the second round of series of her presentations for Slovak librarians.
