Associations
The Transborder Library Forum/FORO Transfronterizo de Bibliotecas
share many of the aims of ISTEC’s Library Linkages initiative.
Their meetings have been held annually since 1991, when a group
of librarians from Arizona and Sonora gathered to work on ways
to improve communications relating to border issues and to foster
professional networking among librarians from Mexico and the United
States. Since those beginnings, FORO attendance has grown
to over 300 professionals and, recently, Canadians also interested
in NAFTA and border issues, began to have a presence. At the 10th
Transborder Library FORO held in Albuquerque, New Mexico in March
23-25, 2000, several representatives from Latin American libraries
attended.
In order to facilitate communications and ensure that
all attendees have the opportunity to participate in the sessions,
simultaneous Spanish/English and English/Spanish interpretation
has been provided over the years. The theme chosen for the 2000
meeting was “Beyond our borders: Interconnections”. It reflects
a broadly defined direction that emphasizes the importance of
overcoming traditional barriers and work on collaborative programs
and exchanges to benefit all citizens in an electronic environment
that is quickly becoming “borderless” (see http://www.unm.
edu/~foro/).
FORO objectives include:
- strengthening links between librarians interested in building information bridges along international borders
- planning and implementing cooperative projects between libraries across geographic borders
- facilitating the development of resource networks beyond library borders
- introducing librarians to the most recent commercial library products and services
- sharing cultural heritage
Primary National and Regional Information Resources and
Repositories
Below are a list of repositories of primary sources for Latin
America and the Caribbean from the University of Idaho website
at http://www.uidaho.edu/special-collections/mexico.html#ar.
All of these collections are fertile ground for digitization projects
such as the projects described in Chapters 6 & 8.
