				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.openworld.gov/about/billington.php"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-8088" alt="james billington" src="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/james-billington.jpg" width="1200" height="800" /></a></p>
<p>So, what exactly does the Librarian of Congress do? In short, a LOT. Just from this video put together by Washington Notebook, Dr. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_H._Billington">James H. Billington</a> gives us a great overview of what he does, and what the <a href="http://www.loc.gov/index.html">Library of Congress</a> (LOC) offers all of us. In general the the <a href="http://www.loc.gov/about/librarianoffice/">Librarian of Congress</a> oversees the Library of Congress, including the collection, and all the services they offer us. Given that the LOC is one of the world&#8217;s largest libraries, the Librarian of Congress oversees projects as diverse as managing and curating the library&#8217;s holdings, offering <a href="http://www.loc.gov/rr/">research and reference assistance</a> to everyone, offering <a href="http://www.loc.gov/teachers/">educational lessons and resources for teachers</a>, and <a href="http://blogs.loc.gov/loc/2013/01/update-on-the-twitter-archive-at-the-library-of-congress/">archiving modern sources of information such as everyone&#8217;s tweets</a>. In essence the LOC serves as support for the nation&#8217;s entire library and educational systems.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Entonces, ¿exactamente qué hace el Bibliotecario del Congreso? En resumen, mucho. Sólo a partir de este vídeo elaborado por Notebook Washington, el Dr.</span> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_H._Billington">James H. Billington</a> <span style="color: #888888;">nos da una gran visión de lo que hace, y lo que la</span> <a href="http://www.loc.gov/index.html">Biblioteca del Congreso</a> <span style="color: #888888;">(LOC) ofrece todos nosotros. En general, el</span> <a href="http://www.loc.gov/about/librarianoffice/">Bibliotecario del Congreso</a><span style="color: #888888;"> supervisa toda la Biblioteca del Congreso, incluyendo la colección, y todos los servicios que nos ofrecen. Dado que el LOC es una de las bibliotecas más grandes del mundo, la Biblioteca del Congreso supervisa proyectos tan diversos como la gestión y comisariado de los fondos de la biblioteca, que ofrece asistencia en</span> <a href="http://www.loc.gov/rr/">investigación y referencia</a> <span style="color: #888888;">para todo el mundo, ofrece</span> <a href="http://www.loc.gov/teachers/">lecciones y recursos educativos para maestros</a>,<span style="color: #888888;"> y</span> <a href="http://blogs.loc.gov/loc/2013/01/update-on-the-twitter-archive-at-the-library-of-congress/">archivan muchas fuentes modernas de información tales como tweets de todos</a>. <span style="color: #888888;">En esencia, los servidores de la LOC ofrecen apoyo a toda las biblioteca y los sistemas educativos de la nación.</span></p>
<p><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/qGswOn1GXyk" height="315" width="420" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe></p>
<p>The Librarian of Congress also work to serve Congress, specially through the <a href="http://www.loc.gov/crsinfo/">Congressional Research Service</a>, and the <a href="http://www.loc.gov/law/">Law Library of Congress</a>. These two services work to offer Congress accurate and unbiased information so that they can perform their jobs and in Dr. Billington&#8217;s words &#8220;make intelligent decisions.&#8221; (Whether some of the more recent decisions Congress has been making are actually &#8220;intelligent&#8221; is clearly open to interpretation.)</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">El Bibliotecario del Congreso también trabajan para servir al Congreso, especialmente a través del</span> <a href="http://www.loc.gov/crsinfo/">Servicio de Investigación del Congreso</a> <span style="color: #888888;">y la</span> <a href="http://www.loc.gov/law/">Biblioteca de Leyes del Congreso</a><span style="color: #888888;">. Estos dos servicios trabajan para ofrecer información exacta e imparcial al Congreso para que puedan desempeñar sus trabajos y en las palabras del Dr. Billington para &#8220;tomar decisiones inteligentes&#8221;. (Claramente está abierto a interpretación si algunas de las decisiones más recientes del Congreso ha sido realmente &#8220;inteligente.&#8221;)</span></p>
<p>Dr. Billington also sees his post as regularly modernizing his interpretation of the LOC&#8217;s mission, regularly adopting new technologies, and each day offering more and more information in electronic format, thus making this amazing collection more accessible to the world. Just in recent years the LOC not only began gathering everyone&#8217;s tweets, but also opened an account on <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/">Flickr</a>, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/LibraryOfCongress">Youtube</a>, <a href="http://www.facebook.com/libraryofcongress">Facebook</a>, and other social media platforms. For years they have also been working with Google to create the <a href="http://www.wdl.org/en/">World Digital Library</a>. The list of resources and neat collections offered by the LOC seems limitless. They also offer us the <a href="http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/index.html">American Memory</a> collection, containing primary resources of a wide range of topics. If you are in DC you can also visit their <a href="http://www.loc.gov/rr/genealogy/">Local History and Genealogy Reading Room</a>, granting you access to lots of genealogy sources.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Dr. Billington también ve en su cargo la responsabilidad de regularmente modernizar la interpretación de la misión de la LOC, regularmente adoptando nuevas tecnologías. Cada día ofrece más y más información en formato electrónico, lo que hace que esta sorprendente colección sea aún más accesible al mundo. Sólo en los últimos años la LOC no sólo empezó a recoger los tweets de todos, pero también ha abierto una cuenta en</span> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/">Flickr</a><span style="color: #888888;">,</span> <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/LibraryOfCongress">Youtube</a><span style="color: #888888;">,</span> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/libraryofcongress">Facebook</a> <span style="color: #888888;">y otras plataformas de medios sociales. Hace años también trabajan con Google para crear la</span> <a href="http://www.wdl.org/es/">Biblioteca Digital Mundial</a><span style="color: #888888;">. La lista de recursos e increíbles colecciones que ofrece la LOC parece no tener límites. También nos ofrece la colección</span> <a href="http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/index.html">American Memory</a> <span style="color: #888888;">(Memoria Americana), que contiene recursos primarios de una amplia gama de temas. Si usted está en DC también se puede visitar su</span> <a href="http://www.loc.gov/rr/genealogy/">Historia Local y sala de lectura Genealogía</a><span style="color: #888888;">, dándole acceso a muchas fuentes de genealogía.</span></p>
<p>Dr. Billington has been at this post since 1987, and has now served under 5 different presidents! He is only the 13th man who has held this post. He is also in charge of overseeing the <a href="http://www.copyright.gov/">US Copyright Office</a>, and appointing the <a href="http://www.loc.gov/poetry/about_laureate.html">US poet laureate</a>.</p>

<p>A little while ago I discovered this amazing list of free technical services webinars! They cover a wide range of topics, and best of all they are free! Some of the topics covered include RDA for the Non-Cataloger, how to use specific Library of Congress Classification schedules, Disaster planning, and book repair, among many other. They even have a couple of webinars on how to preserve your personal photographs and digital memories!</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">¡Hace poco descubrí una asombrosa lista de webinars de servicios técnicos totalmente gratuitos! Cubren una amplia gama de temas, y lo mejor de todo es que son gratis! Algunos de los temas cubiertos incluyen la RDA para el no catalogador, cómo utilizar ciertos esquemas de clasificación de la Biblioteca del Congreso, planificación de desastres, y reparación de libros, entre muchos otros. ¡Incluso tienen un par de webinars sobre la preservación digital de fotografías y recuerdos personales!</span></p>
<p>Working in a small library, I&#8217;m constantly looking for new resources to learn new skills, and discover new tools, so I already know I&#8217;ll be spending a good amount of time with this collection.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Como trabajo en una pequeña biblioteca, estoy constantemente buscando nuevos recursos para aprender nuevas habilidades y descubrir nuevas herramientas, así que ya sé que voy a pasar una buena cantidad de tiempo con esta colección.</span> También tienen un canal de Youtube.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the <a href="http://www.ala.org/alcts/confevents/past/webinar">full archive</a>. They also have a <a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/alctsce/">Youtube channel</a>.</p>

<p>Back in early November I got an email from someone wishing to use my photograph of the <a href="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/2010/02/21/paradero-para-libros-para-parques/">Paradero Para Libros Para Parques</a> taken in Bogotá, Colombia, almost three years ago, for a book exhibit in Moscow. I was obviously interested in learning more about this project. Maria send me a few links about the &#8220;<a href="http://www.knigivparkah.ru/">Books in Parks</a>&#8221; projects being promoted by the government, and which wishes to showcase the idea of reading in public as a social experience. I just love seeing small libraries pop up all around the world, and seeing people respond so positively to these initiatives.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">A principios de noviembre recibí un correo electrónico de alguien que desee utilizar mi fotografía de <a href="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/2010/02/21/paradero-para-libros-para-parques/"><span style="color: #888888;">Paradero Para Libros Para Parques</span></a> tomada en Bogotá, Colombia, hace casi tres años, para una exposición de libros en Moscú. Claramente me interesaba aprender más acerca de este proyecto. María me envió algunos enlaces sobre los &#8220;<a href="http://www.knigivparkah.ru/"><span style="color: #888888;">Libros en Parques</span></a>,&#8221; un proyectos que impulsa el gobierno y que desea resaltar la idea de leer en público como una experiencia social. Me encanta ver tantas pequeñas bibliotecas apareciendo alrededor del mundo, y como la gente responde de una manera tan positiva a estas iniciativas.</span></p>
<p>Maria recently send me some pictures of the exhibit&#8217;s opening event, and I have to admire the Muscovites who braves what looks like very cold weather to attend.

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://beta.congress.gov/"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-7652" title="Sept_Congressdotgov_carousel" src="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Sept_Congressdotgov_carousel.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="210" /></a><a href="http://beta.congress.gov/">Congress.gov</a> was launched this Wednesday, offering us a new tool to research USA federal legislation information. The site will eventually replace <a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/home/thomas.php">THOMAS.gov</a>, which after years of service has started showing its age. Congress.gov contains legislation from the 107th Congress (2001) to the present, member of Congress profiles from the 93rd Congress (1973) to the present, and selected member profiles from the 80th through the 92nd Congresses (1947 to 1972).</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;"><a href="http://beta.congress.gov/">Congress.gov</a> se puso en marcha este miércoles, y nos ofrece una nueva herramienta para la búsqueda de información sobre legislación federal de EE.UU. El sitio eventualmente reemplazará <a href="http://thomas.loc.gov/home/thomas.php">THOMAS.gov</a>, que después de muchos años de servicio ha comenzado a mostrar su edad. Congress.gov contiene legislación del Congreso 107 (2001) hasta el presente, los perfiles de miembros del Congreso 93o (1973) hasta la actualidad, y perfiles miembros seleccionados del Congresso 80a hasta el 92a (1947 a 1972).</span></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a <a href="http://beta.congress.gov/help/coverage-dates/">chart</a> showing the difference between the two tools. At the moment the only thing Congress.gov has, that THOMAS.gov doesn&#8217;t have are member profiles for the 93rd Congress (1973), plus some members from 80th to 92nd Congresses (1947 to 1972). Still, over the next few years Congress.gov will include much more than what is available on THOMAS.gov, including committee reports, nominations, treaties, Senate executive communications, House executive communications, and the Congressional Record!</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Aquí hay una <a href="http://beta.congress.gov/help/coverage-dates/">tabla</a> que muestra la diferencia entre las dos herramientas. Por el momento lo único que tiene Congress.gov, que THOMAS.gov no tiene son perfiles de los miembros del Congreso 93o (1973), además de algunos miembros de 80a-92a Congresos (1947 a 1972). Aún así, en los próximos años Congress.gov incluirá mucho más que lo que está disponible en THOMAS.gov, incluyendo informes de las comisiones, nombramientos, tratados, comunicaciones ejecutivas del Senado, comunicationes ejecutivas de la casa de representantes, y el Registro del Congreso!</span></p>
<p>Congress.gov also include a number of useful <a href="http://beta.congress.gov/legislative-process">lessons on the legislative process</a>, including information about <a href="http://beta.congress.gov/legislative-process/introduction-and-referral-of-bills">Introduction and Referral of Bills</a>, <a href="http://beta.congress.gov/legislative-process/bicameral-resolution">Bicameral Resolution</a>,  and <a href="http://beta.congress.gov/legislative-process/presidential-action">Presidential Actions</a> among others.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Congress.gov también incluyen una serie de <a href="http://beta.congress.gov/legislative-process">lecciones prácticas</a> sobre el proceso legislativo, incluyendo información sobre <a href="http://beta.congress.gov/legislative-process/introduction-and-referral-of-bills">introducción y referencias de proyectos de ley</a>, <a href="http://beta.congress.gov/legislative-process/bicameral-resolution">resoluciones bicamerales</a>, y <a href="http://beta.congress.gov/legislative-process/presidential-action">acciones presidenciales</a>, entre otros.</span></p>
<p>I&#8217;m looking forward to all the additional information that will be added to Congress.gov over the next few years, and I&#8217;ll certainly be using it regularly at work.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Estaré esperando toda la información adicional que se añadirá a Congress.gov en los próximos años, y sin duda lo estaré utilizando con regularidad en el trabajo.</span></p>

Just as we thought there was no efficient way to resolve this issue, I attended a session at  <a href="http://www.aallnet.org/">AALL</a> on Google Scholar and discovered <a href="scholar.google.com/citations">My Citations</a>, a new tool which aims to create the equivalent of an authority files for an individual author. My Citations prompts the user to create a profile using their Google account which will gather all of their citations together, thus helping the average users find every publication by a single author while conducting searches on the web.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Desde hace algún tiempo <a href="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/2012/08/19/disambiguating-a-name-caicedo-estela-andres-1951-1977-2/">mi padre y yo hemos estado discutiendo la desambiguación de un nombre</a> y las búsquedas en <a href="http://scholar.google.com/">Google Scholar</a> para reunir todas las publicaciones de un solo autor. Cuando empezabamos a pensar que no había manera eficiente de resolver este problema, asistí a una reunión en la <a href="http://www.aallnet.org/">AALL</a> sobre Google Scholar y descubrió <a href="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-admin/scholar.google.com/citations">My Citations</a> (mis citas), una nueva herramienta que pretende crear el equivalente de un fichero de autoridad para un autor individual. My Citations le pide al usuario crear un perfil utilizando su cuenta de Google que reunirá a todas sus citas, ayudando así a cualquier persona a encontrar todas las publicación de un solo autor mientras realiza búsquedas en la web.</span></p>
<p>At the presentation we saw the profile of <a href="http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=WbYQGjcAAAAJ&amp;hl=en">Hal Varian</a>, Google&#8217;s Chief Economist. His profile offered some very basic information about him, and a list of all his publications, and if you run a search for &#8220;Hal Varian&#8221; in Google Scholar, this profile should be your first hit.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">En la presentación hemos visto el perfil de <a href="http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=WbYQGjcAAAAJ&amp;hl=en">Hal Varian</a>, economista jefe de Google. Su perfil ofrece información muy básica sobre él, junto con una lista de todas sus publicaciones. Si busca &#8220;Hal Varian&#8221; en Google Scholar este perfil debe ser su primer hit.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://scholar.google.com/citations?user=WbYQGjcAAAAJ&amp;hl=en"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-7568" title="Hal Varian My Citations" src="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Hal-Varian-My-Citations.jpg" alt="" width="620" height="411" /></a></p>
<p>I told my father about this and gave him some tips for setting up his own profile. Here was his response;</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Le conte a mi padre acerca My Citations y le dio algunos consejos para crear su propio perfil. Esta fue respuesta;</span></p>
<blockquote><p>I had a rather frustrating experience in an initial attempt to open a &#8220;Citations&#8221; account on Google Scholar. Everything was going fine: They produced an amazing list of 139 publications &#8212; all mine &#8212; including obscure CIAT Annual Report citations, a seminar I gave in about 1980, and even my MS thesis from 1971! I deleted several items that did not look like actual publications, and then when I thought I was accepting the rest, the list was suddenly reduced to only 38 publications. I was unable to discover where the other nearly 100 others disappeared to. Nor was I able to figure out how to recover the original list of 139. I could add back all the relevant publications, but am not really enthusiastic about doing it &#8220;by hand&#8221;, publication by publication, and (for each publication) adding title, authors, journal, volume, etc., etc. separately.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Tuve una experiencia bastante frustrante en un intento inicial para abrir una cuenta con &#8220;citas&#8221; en Google Scholar. Todo iba bien: Se produjo una asombrosa lista de 139 publicaciones &#8211; todas mías &#8211; incluyendo citas oscuras del Informe Anual del CIAT, un seminario que di alrededor de 1980, e incluso mi tesis de maestría de 1971! He eliminado algunos elementos que no parecen publicaciones actuales, y luego, cuando pensé que estaba aceptando el resto, la lista se redujo de repente a tan sólo 38 publicaciones. No he podido descubrir dónde están las otras casi 100 que desaparecieron. Tampoco fui capaz de encontrar la manera de recuperar la lista original de 139. Podría agregar de nuevo todas las publicaciones relevantes, pero no estoy realmente entusiasmado con hacerlo &#8220;a mano&#8221;, publicación por publicación, y (para todas las publicaciones) la adición de título, autores, revista, volumen, etc, etc por separado.</span></p></blockquote>
<p>The Google engineer who showed us this tool did say it is still quite new, and hopefully they will iron out some of these issues soon. But if you have the time to create a complete profile with My Citations, you can help others find all of your publications easily. It seems this might be a way to help index the web in a meaningful way.</p>
<p>If you are able to successfully set up one of these profiles, do share your experience, and/or profile!</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">¡Si usted logra configurar correctamente uno de estos perfiles, comparta su experiencia, y / o perfil!</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://fundacionurbanarte.blogspot.com/2010/05/literatura-andres-caicedo_515.html"><img class="wp-image-7587 alignleft" title="ANDRÉS CAICEDO 1" alt="" src="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/ANDRÉS-CAICEDO-1.jpg" width="363" height="482" /></a>A while back my father started asking about name disambiguationbecause he wanted to be able to run a search in, say, <a href="http://scholar.google.com/">Google Scholar</a> and come up with ONLY the publications of a single author.  Our conversations brought up a lot of interesting issues, and many more questions from him. I figured this exchange could be interesting and informative to others, so here are the highlights and some key examples.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Hace un tiempo mi padre empezó a preguntar sobre la desambiguación de un nombre, porque quería poder hacer una búsqueda por ejemplo en <a href="http://scholar.google.com/">Google Scholar</a> y encontrar sólo las publicaciones de un solo autor. De nuestras conversaciones salieron un montón de temas interesantes, y muchas más preguntas suyas. Pensé que este intercambio podría ser interesante e informativo a otros, así que aquí están los aspectos más destacados y algunos ejemplos clave.</span></p>
<p>In the USA the main entity that works towards disambiguating published authors/creators is the <a href="http://www.loc.gov/index.html">Library of Congress</a> (LOC), which makes complete sense since they need to be able to keep track of and distinguish the millions of authors found in their OPAC (Online Public Access Catalog). Basically the LOC needs to be able to distinguish multiple authors with the same name, or similar names. It also needs to be able to identify authors who publish under different name. To do this, the LOC established its <a href="http://authorities.loc.gov/">Name Authority File</a> where new names are added all the time.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">En los EE.UU. la principal entidad que trabaja para desambiguar autores publicados es la <a href="http://www.loc.gov/index.html">Biblioteca del Congreso</a> (LOC), cosa que tiene mucho sentido ya que deben poder hacer seguimiento y distinguir los millones de autores que se encuentran en su OPAC (Catálogo en Línea). Básicamente la LOC necesita poder de distinguir varios autores con el mismo nombre, o nombres similares. También debe ser capaz de identificar autores que publican bajo un nombre diferente. Para ello la LOC estableció su <a href="http://authorities.loc.gov/">Archivo de Autoridad de Nombre</a>, donde nuevos nombres se añaden todo el tiempo.</span></p>
<p>To have your name included in the Library of Congress Name Authority File you need to have published something, and a librarian needs to realize that you have a common enough name to create confusion in the catalog, and problems with the index. The librarian will then create (or ask the LOC to create) an authority file for the author, including some basic bibliographic information on the publication where the librarian is taking the information from. The librarian will also try to include any other information available. (example from LOC authority)</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Para que su nombre sea incluido en el archivo Autoridades de Nombres de la Biblioteca del Congreso necesita haber publicado algo, y un bibliotecario tiene que darse cuenta de que su nombre es lo suficientemente común para crear confusión en el catálogo, y puede crear problemas con el índice. El bibliotecario creará (o le pedirá a la LOC que cree) una ficha de autoridad de autor, incluyendo algunos datos bibliográficos básicos de la publicación de donde el bibliotecario haya tomando la información. El bibliotecario también tratará de incluir cualquier otra información disponible.</span></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the name authority file for Andrés Caicedo, a Caleño author whose name has enough variations to illustrate this point without becoming overwhelming (try <a href="http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n78095332.html" target="_blank">Shakespeare</a>!). Using the LOC&#8217;s brand new <a href="http://id.loc.gov/">Linked Data Service</a>, <a href="http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n84101860.html" target="_blank">here is Caicedo&#8217;s file</a>. You can see that there are five variations to his name, in addition to the authorized version, and if the cataloging librarian has done his or her work correctly, you could search for any of these variations, and realize the &#8220;authorized&#8221; version of his name is &#8220;Caicedo Estela, Andrés, 1951-1977&#8243;, and search by that.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Aquí está el archivo de autoridad de de Andrés Caicedo, un autor caleño, cuyo nombre tiene variaciones suficientes para ilustrar este punto, sin llegar a ser abrumador (vea la ficha de Shakespeare!). Usando <a href="http://id.loc.gov/">Linked Data Service</a>, una nueva herramienta de la LOC, aqui esta la ficha de Caicedo. Aquí puede ver que hay cinco variaciones de su nombre, además de la versión autorizada, y si el bibliotecario de catalogación ha hecho su trabajo correctamente, usted puede buscar cualquiera de estas variaciones y darse cuenta de que la versión &#8220;autorizada&#8221; de su nombre es &#8220;Caicedo Estela, Andrés, 1951-1977&#8243;, y buscar por este.</span></p>
<ul>
<li>Caicedo Stella, Andrés, 1951-1977</li>
<li>Stella, Andrés Caicedo, 1951-1977</li>
<li>Caicedo, Andrés</li>
<li>Estela, Andrés Caicedo, 1951-1977</li>
<li>Caicedo, Andrés, 1951-1977</li>
</ul>
<p>Do keep in mind that the Name Authority File is a living, breathing creature, and these files will change over time. Do note that his maternal last name (Estela) has been misspelled, plus there is the common confusion seen with Latin names in Anglo name files. (We tend to use two last names, the paternal and the maternal, but we should be filed under the paternal last name.) At some point this name file probably included only a birth date, and was later updated to include a death date.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Tenga en cuenta que cualquier archivo de autoridad de nombre es una entidad viviente y estos archivos cambian con el tiempo. Dese cuenta de que anteriormente su apellido materno (Estela) ha sido mal escrito. Además vemos el error común, y la confusión con los nombres latinos en archivos de nombres anglosajones. (Tenemos la tendencia a utilizar dos apellidos, el paterno y materno, y se nos debe clasificar bajo el apellido paterno.) En algún momento este nombre de archivo probablemente incluía sólo una fecha de nacimiento, y fue actualizado posteriormente para incluir su fecha de muerte.</span></p>
<p>Now to the Google Scholar search issue. Unlike the OPAC at your local library, the web is not currently indexed, nor subject to any kind of authority control, and because of this it is nearly impossible to run a simple search and find everything about only <em>one</em> specific author. Until someone forces some order and authority control on the web, there are a couple tricks that might help improve searching on the web.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Ahora con el tema de búsqueda en Google Scholar. A diferencia del catálogo público de su biblioteca local, la web no se encuentra indexada, ni se somete a ningún tipo de control de autoridades y debido a esto es casi imposible realizar una búsqueda simple y encontrar todo sobre un solo autor específico. Hasta que alguien obliga a un cierto orden y control de autoridades en la web, hay algunos trucos con los que quizá ayuden a mejorar la búsqueda en la web.</span></p>
<p>First of all, most library OPACs are open to the public, and while this won&#8217;t give you access to their shelves or databases, it will allow you to consult them and discover interesting material. Two great places to start are the <a href="http://catalog.loc.gov/" target="_blank">LOC&#8217;s OPAC</a> and <a href="http://www.worldcat.org/" target="_blank">WorldCat</a>. You&#8217;ll notice that while WorldCat doesn&#8217;t publicly include the authorized version of the author&#8217;s name, it does link out to the correct bibliographic record in the corresponding OPAC.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">En primer lugar, la mayoría de los catálogos públicos de cualquier biblioteca están abiertos al público, y mientras esto no le dará acceso a sus estantes o bases de datos, si le permitan consultarlos y descubrir material interesante. Dos buenos lugares para comenzar son el catálogo de la LOC y WorldCat. Se dará cuenta de que, aunque WorldCat no incluye la versión autorizada del nombre del autor públicamente , si lo vincula al registro bibliográfico correcto en el OPAC correspondiente.</span></p>
<p>The book&#8217;s entry in WorldCat / <span style="color: #888888;">La ficha del libro en WorldCat</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.worldcat.org/title/angelitos-empantanados-o-historias-para-jovencitos/oclc/319941598&amp;referer=brief_results"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7890" alt="Caicedo WorldCat" src="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/Caicedo-WorldCat-580x186.jpg" width="580" height="186" /></a></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>And in the Pittsburgh OPAC / <span style="color: #888888;">Y en el catálogo de Pittsburgh</span></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://pittcat.pitt.edu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?BBID=5950163"><img class="aligncenter" title="Caicedo Estela, Andres" alt="" src="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/Caicedo-Estela-Andres.jpg" width="632" height="192" /></a></p>
<p>So it seems that until someone forces some order and authority control on the web, there is no simple solution for this type of search. After writing the first draft of this entry I attended <a href="http://www.aallnet.org/">AALL</a> and discovered Google is working on a tool to resolve this problem, <a href="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/2012/08/19/my-citations-by-google-scholar/">My Citations</a>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Así que parece que hasta que alguien force un poco de orden y control de la autoridad sobre la web no hay una solución simple para este tipo de búsqueda. Después de escribir el primer borrador de esta entrada asistí <a href="http://www.aallnet.org/">AALL</a> y descubrió que Google está trabajando en una herramienta para resolver este problema, <a href="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/2012/08/19/my-citations-by-google-scholar/">My Citations</a> (mis citas).</span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-7468 alignright" title="tt1" src="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/tt1.jpg" alt="" width="432" height="576" />Earlier this month I was in Trinidad and Tobago for this year&#8217;s SALALM conference, and I stopped by to visit the <a href="http://www2.nalis.gov.tt/Home/tabid/37/Default.aspx">National Library and Information System Authority</a> (NALIS). I arrived here on my own and wandered around the library&#8217;s public areas, which include a children&#8217;s section, the general collection, and their Heritage Library.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">A principios de este mes estuve en Trinidad y Tobago para la conferencia anual de SALALM , y me detuve a visitar la <a href="http://www2.nalis.gov.tt/Home/tabid/37/Default.aspx">Biblioteca Nacional y la Autoridad de Información del Sistema</a> (NALIS). Llegué aquí por mi cuenta y vagaba por las zonas públicas de la biblioteca, que incluye una sección para niños, la colección general, y su biblioteca de la Humanidad.</span></p>
<p>The library moved to it&#8217;s current downtown location in 2003, and is right across from the Red House, where Parliament used to meet (the building is currently being renovated). The building is designed to look like a sail boat, with the Library occupying the first 4 floors. The top floors belong to the Ministry of Information. The various spaces in the library are full of computer terminals, reading and study areas. They also regularly schedule activities, such as &#8220;teen talks&#8221; where they invite musicians, artists, and other presenters who will attract broad attendance, and get people into the library.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">La biblioteca se trasladó a su ubicación actual en el 2003, y están justo en frente de la Casa Roja, donde se reunía el Parlamento (el edificio está en proceso de remodelación). El edificio está diseñado para parecerse a un barco de vela, con la Biblioteca ocupando los primeros 4 pisos. Los pisos superiores pertenecen al Ministerio de Información. Los diferentes espacios de la biblioteca están llenos de terminales de computadores, y áreas de estudio y lectura. Regularmente también programar la actividades como &#8220;conversaciones para adolescentes&#8221;, donde se invitan músicos, artistas, presentadores y otros personajes que atraen amplia asistencia, y atraen visitantes a la biblioteca.</span></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-7486" title="tt2" src="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/tt2.jpg" alt="" width="524" height="646" /></p>
<p>As I was getting ready to leave, I ran into the Library of Congress folks, who were there on an official visit coordinated by the USA embassy, so I joined them and got to see all the behind the scenes. With this group I saw the library&#8217;s technical services area, where acquisitions decisions are made for the entire library system, purchasing about 50k items a year. This area also houses an ISBN center, but not a copyright center.  All of this work is managed by 4 professional librarians, and a number of library assistants.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Cuando estaba a punto de irme, me encontré con un grupo de bibliotecarios de la la Biblioteca del Congreso de EE.UU. quienes estaba allí para una visita oficial coordinada por la embajada. Me uní a ellos y así realmente vi toda la biblioteca, incluyendo la secciones que no están abiertas al público. Con este grupo vi el área de servicios técnicos de la biblioteca, donde deciden y coordinan las adquisiciones para todo el sistema biblioteca a lo largo de las dos islas. Aqui se compran alrededor de 50 mil unidades al año. Esta zona también alberga un centro de ISBN, pero no un centro de derechos de autor. Todo este trabajo está dirigido por 4 bibliotecarios profesionales, y un número de auxiliares de biblioteca.</span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><img class="size-full wp-image-7491 aligncenter" title="tt3" src="http://www.bilinguallibrarian.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/tt3.jpg" alt="" width="539" height="651" />We also got to see their closed stacks, and special collections, including sketches for carnival costumes by Wayne Berkeley, and the front page of their local newspaper dated August 31, 1962, their first day as an independent nation. Their T&amp;T collection is divided into an Hindu Centric, and an Afro Centric collections. The library also houses the Constantine Collection, which gathers material about <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learie_Constantine">Learie Constantine</a>, a famous cricketer, and which is part of UNESCO&#8217;s <a href="http://www.unesco.org/new/en/communication-and-information/flagship-project-activities/memory-of-the-world/homepage/">Memory of the World</a> Register (<a href="http://www.unesco-ci.org/photos/showgallery.php/cat/999">photo gallery</a>). There is also a large <a href="http://www2.nalis.gov.tt/Libraries/HeritageLibrary/tabid/62/Default.aspx">Heritage Library</a>.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">También vimos sus depósitos cerrados, y colecciones especiales, incluyendo bocetos de trajes para carnaval de Wayne en Berkeley, y la primera página de su periódico fechada al 31 de agosto de 1962, su primer día como nación independiente. Su colección sobre T &amp; T se divide en una céntrica hindú, y otra colecciones centradas en su población afro. La biblioteca alberga también la colección de Constantino, que reúne material sobre <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learie_Constantine">Learie Constantino</a>, famosos jugadores de cricket, y que forma parte del <a href="http://www.unesco.org/new/en/communication-and-information/flagship-project-activities/memory-of-the-world/homepage/">Registro Mundial de la Memoria</a> de UNESCO (<a href="http://www.unesco-ci.org/photos/showgallery.php/cat/999">galería de fotos</a>). También hay una colección grande de Patrimonio.</span></p>
<p>Our visit was guided by two amazing, and very knowledgeable library assistants, since most of the professional librarians were across town attending the SALALM conference. Many thanks to these great ladies! And if you are ever in Port of Spain, do go visit the library.</p>
<p><span style="color: #888888;">Nuestra visita fue guiada por dos auxiliares de biblioteca increíbles, ya que la mayoría de los bibliotecarios profesionales estaban al otro lado de la ciudad asistiendo a la conferencia de SALALM. Muchas gracias a las dos! Si alguna vez estás en Puerto de España vayan a visitar la biblioteca.</span></p>
