Libworld – Argentina
Argentina, a republic in the south of South-America, is the eighth largest country in the world. The librarianship in Argentina is variously shaped: the first public libraries developed at the end of the 18th century. They were mostly funded by individuals. The 1963 established „Junta de Bibliotecas Universitarias Argentinas“ (JUBIUA) substitutes the interest of the public universities towards the government.
The „Bibliotheca National“ was founded in 1810. With a book inventory balance of 2,5 million it is the biggest library in Argentina. Along with the „Congreso de la Nación“, a parliament library, it holds the presentation copy right since 1933. The Congreso de la Nación is the depot library from international organizations and holds approximately 1,5 million medias.
Our guest author Edgardo Civallero will introduce the biblioblogosphere in Argentina. He worked for years developing libraries in aboriginal communities in NE Argentina and in rural villages in northern Córdoba before studying Librarianship at the National University of Córdoba. Today amongst others Edgardo teaches colleagues from public libraries and works for the journal Information for Social Change. He is an advocate for the Open Access philosophy and member of the Standing Committee of IFLA´s Libray Services to Multicultural Populations Section.
With his wife he edits the blog “Bitácora de un bibliotecario” (The log of a librarian) which is available in Spanish and English.

LibWorld – New Zealand
This week we will read about library blogs in New Zealand. The country located in the South Pacific has a population figure of 4 million people. Public Libraries have got a long tradition and appreciation in New Zealand. Legend has it that in every town it exists a pub, a dairy and a library.
Nevertheless in 2007 the New Zealand libraries accomplished a marketing activity with several celebrities to campaign for the use of libraries. If you want to take a look at the spots you can do it here.
Our LibWorld guest author from New Zealand, Simon Chamberlain, is reference librarian at the Victoria University of Wellington. He blogs at http://www.chamberlain.net.nz/blog.

Libworld – Latvia
Latvia was part of the Soviet Union until declaring independence in September 1991. On May 1st 2004 it became a member of the European Union.
„During the years since the independence Latvia has undertaken huge efforts to develop and equip the libraries according to their new tasks. Many initiatives of the state, the local authorities and private foundations have been provided for that purpose. The most ambitious project is the concept of the „national uniform library information system“
(VVBIS, now called „lightnets“), to which all Latvian libraries shall be affiliated until 2007 and which is closely connected with the project of a new building for the National Library.

. With the aid of „lightnets“ all public libraries in Latvia can provide free internet access and latest technology.
If these rapid developments in librarianship influenced the growth of the biblioblogosphere too we will learn from our guest author Jānis Ziediņš.

LibWorld – Finland
The next stop in our LibWorld journey ist Finland, which is one of the most northern countries in the world. It is famous for its opulence of lakes, the complexity of its language and for its excellent educational system.
Libraries are in the center of the cultural life in Finland and libraries are used to borrow books, read newspapers, use the internet for free or just to meet some friends.
More information about Finnish libraries you can find on the homepage www.libraries.fi.
Reetta Saine, who’s blogging as Kirjaston antitäti hyssyttää, provided valuable information for this article. She’s an expert in Finnish public library blogs.

Libworld – Trinidad and Tobago
It was in the summer of 2006. To be more precise, it was June, 10th, as the oldest player at the FIFA World Cup became it’s greatest hero. Wikipedia mentions his heroic actions as follows:
He was instrumental in securing a 0-0 draw against the heavily favoured Sweden, making several saves, even with his team down to ten men for almost the entire second half.
That’s pure understatement! We are talking of Shaka Hislop, who should have been nominated as World’s Best Goalkeeper (instead of Gianluigi Buffon, who didn’t have to save as much in the whole tournament as Hislop did in three games), the goalkeeper of the soccer team of Trinidad & Tobago. Coming from soccer to library blogs, but staying in T&T, we want to introduce to you Jennifer Papin-Ramcharan, our next LibWorld guest author. She’s working as an Engineering Librarian on the St. Augustine Campus at the University of the West Indies. Trinidad and Tobago.
