NYPL<\/p><\/div>\n

Last Friday, October 8th, the second \u201cSocial Friday\u201d was held in the Berger Forum at the NYPL organized by the librarian Jay Barksdale.<\/p>\n

Mr. Barksdale is in charge of the Allen and the Wertheim Study Rooms. The two research rooms have been set aside for writers working long on term, and with pressing needs for the NYPL collections. <\/span>Mr. Barksdale thought it would be interesting to invite two librarians as special guests to talk about their respective libraries and specialties.<\/span><\/h3>\n

Wine and cheese, a door prize and a selection of cookbooks from the stacks was waiting for us. <\/span>This time the librarian guests were:<\/span><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • \n
    Rebecca Federman <\/strong>from the NYPL, Databases Specialist<\/span><\/address>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    Mar\u00eda V\u00e1zquez Est\u00e9vez\u00a0<\/strong>from ICNY, Head Librarian from the ‘Jorge Luis Borges’ Libary,\u00a0Instituto Cervantes New York<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/address>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    I was very impressed with Mr. Barksdale\u00b4s kind proposal and the friendly reception from the researchers. I presented the promotional materials I brought along. Some writers took them. Others asked me about the mission of the Instituto Cervantes, and about the bibliographic collections and services of our \u2018Jorge Luis Borges\u2019 Library.<\/span><\/h3>\n

    I found this gathering a very interesting and rewarding experience. These meetings will take place every second Friday during the month of November and from January through April.\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

    I wish Mr. Barksdale much success in the \u201cSocial Friday\u2019s\u201d to come.<\/span><\/h3>\n
