Fund raising

Le contexte de crise économique et de réduction des financements publics oblige à penser de nouveaux recours pour que la bibliothèque continue d\u27assurer au mieux ses missions, notamment lorsqu\u27il s\u27agit, pour un établissement prestigieux, de la conservation et de la valorisation de fonds uniques. Mais l\u27appel à des fonds privés est aussi une opportunité pour renouveler la culture bibliothéconomiqu

electro mechanical endurance tests on smart fabrics under controlled axial and friction forces

Abstract The design, building and validation of machine for endurance tests on fabrics are described in this paper. The system is addressed to the reliability testing of smart fabrics with electrical conductivity. The development of e-textiles, in fact, requires innovative test benches for the evaluation of performances decay with load cycles accumulation; the proposed system is able to monitor the electro-mechanical parameters of fabric sample in the same time in order to support industrial development and predict failures on final applications

Private archives in the library. Types, acquisition, treatment and description

Libraries, especially since the nineteenth century, have included real private documents and archives among their special collections. The typologies are analyzed, also focusing on author libraries, where books, as they are often rich in manuscript interventions by the owners, take on the archival value. We also dwell on the often improper descriptive treatment that this material has undergone in libraries

La digitalizzazione della musica popolare italiana: la Rete degli archivi sonori di musiche di tradizione orale alla Biblioteca nazionale centrale di Roma

Grazie alla collaborazione con l’Associazione Altrosud, la Biblioteca nazionale centrale di Roma ha recentemente acquisito la base dati complessiva dell’archivio della Rete degli archivi sonori di musiche di tradizione orale. È stato così possibile fondere in un’unica e innovativa base dati gli archivi delle ricerche condotte in passato in Abruzzo, Basilicata, Campania, Marche, Puglia e Umbria. Tale progetto si inserisce in una politica più vasta della Biblioteca di valorizzazione della cultura popolare e della letteratura dialettale, che ha recentemente trovato attuazione anche nell’acquisizione della parte più cospicua della biblioteca di Tullio De Mauro, del fondo del poeta romanesco Mario Dell’Arco e della raccolta di volumi di letteratura dialettale del Centro di documentazione “Vincenzo Scarpellino”.Thanks to the collaboration with the Altrosud Association, the Central national library of Rome has recently acquired the overall database of the archive of the Sound archives network of oral tradition music. It was thus possible to merge the archives of research conducted in the past in Abruzzo, Basilicata, Campania, Marche, Puglia and Umbria in a single and innovative database. This project is part of a wider policy of the Library of enhancement of popular culture and dialectal literature that has recently been implemented also in the acquisition of the most conspicuous part of the library of Tullio De Mauro, of the fund of the Roman poet Mario Dell'Arco and of the collection of volumes of dialect literature from the “Vincenzo Scarellino” documentation center

From chaos to cosmos

Italian Central State Archive has recently created a system, called the Digital Library, for the management and access to all its databases, to all digital or digitized inventories, as well as to all digital collections, created as part of previous projects or in progress with important new digitization campaigns. The contribution illustrates its structure, functions and prospects
