This time we are informing you of the creation of a new Spanish blog, Bibliotecas Interculturales y Accesibles (Intercultural and Accesible Libraries).
The blog, in Spanish, aims to be a useful tool for librarians, gathering and disseminating not only the work of the Group itself, but all types of resources, documents, papers, conferences, etc. regarding these two themes.
It is created and written by the Working Group of Interculturalism and Accesibility in Libraries, that belongs to the Spanish Council for Library Cooperation. You can read more about its objectives in the links aforementioned (translated into English).
