Blog del Instituto Cervantes Nueva York

The ‘Jorge Luis Borges’ Library has a unique collection of films with extensive holdings from all periods of Spanish and Latin American cinema. As with the rest of the library collection, our film holdings are open to the public for anyone that is interested in research, or just interested in spending a nice afternoon watching a film in our quiet and welcoming facility. Membership is available for those that wish to borrow films.

The next entry in our «Get to know our library» series introduces our collection of didactic materials.

If you are a teacher of Spanish, a student of Spanish, or just someone interested in a little self study, we have materials for you. Our comprehensive collection of educational material ranges from the methodology and philosophy of language education, to exercise books dedicated to reinforcing specific skills. We have materials for complete beginners, intermediate learners and even native speakers that are just looking to polish their skills.

With the new school year upon us, we would like to take a moment to remind the public about the resources and services available at the ‘Jorge Luis Borges’ library at Instituto Cervantes New York.

We have a world-class selection of Spanish language materials, with holding exceeding 85,000 items, making us one of the largest circulating libraries of Spanish language materials in the United States.

Eterna Cadencia, editorial independiente argentina, y la Agencia DraftFCB  en Buenos Aires han presentado un especial proyecto llamado “El libro que no puede esperar”

Se trata de una edición particular del libro ‘El futuro no es nuestro. Nueva narrativa latinoamericana’ de Diego Trelles Paz (comp.): una selección de nueva narrativa latinoamericana en una edición que desaparecerá en dos meses. Una vez abierto el envoltorio, el texto de la obra empieza a desaparecer y permite solo 60 días para leerlo hasta que se queda completamente en blanco. Este original proyecto tiene como objetivo que el lector no aplace la lectura del libro una vez lo ha comenzado. El aspecto negativo es que una vez borradas las letras es imposible re-leerlo

The argentinian independent publisher and bookstore Eterna Cadencia and the Agency Draftfcb in Buenos Aires  present a new collection of Latin American fiction which is printed with disappearing ink. Once the book is exposed to light and air – it’s sold in shrink-wrapped plastic pouches which have to be torn open- the ink will begin to fade. So it is only actually readable for about two months. After that, all you have are blank pages

Ya está actualizada la nueva versión 2.0 de Absysnet, aunque quedan todavía algunos aspectos pendientes. Así puede ser que haya algún problema en el acceso a los recursos electrónicos, la búsqueda y reservas en el OPAC  o cierta lentitud en la conexión, que estamos viendo de solventar en estos momentos.

¡ Rogamos disculpen las molestias ! 

Because our library system is being upgraded, users may experience some service interruptions to OPAC, online-reservations and other electronic resources.

We apologize for the inconvenience !
