Last week the libraries of the Universitat de València received the visit of two European librarians within the ERASMUS PAS programme. Abdullah Turan, from the library of the İstanbul Bilgi University (Turkey), and Orsolya Tirpák, from the library of the University of Debrecen (Hungary), spent four days touring our facilities and getting to know our buildings and services.
On the first day they spent the morning in the Central Sections office, in the La Nau building, where the director of the service, Victoria García Esteve, presented the organisation chart and structure of the SBD. Afterwards, the section heads explained each of their functions and sections: Research Support, Information Resources Management, Technology and Systems, Communication and Training and Own Digital Resources.
The second day was the turn of the Historical Library and the Blasco Ibáñez Campus. In the Historical Library they were surprised with the collections and funds that we hold and the dissemination activities that we carry out. Afterwards, the librarians visited the Joan Reglà Humanitites Library and the Health Sciencies Library. They especially enjoyed the visit to the Map Library, where the staff showed them some old maps and plans of Turkey and Budapest.
On the third day it was the turn of the Burjassot Campus. At the Science Library they had a guided tour after a video presentation of the library staff. Then they visited the Museum of Natural History, where they were able to see the famous Pomar Codex, a copy of the Biblioteca Històrica, as well as a complete tour of its 32 scientific collections.
The fourth day was devoted to the Tarongers Campus. At the Social Sciences Library they toured the building, admiring the seven floors full of books and students. Finally, they visited the Education Library where they could get to know the incipient "Createca" and all its special collections.
A week to remember!
