Post written by Anna Bohl.

IFLA’s Audiovisual and Multimedia Section (AVMS) together with IFLA’s New Professionals Special Interest Group (NPSIG) offered a special interactive workshop on the use of open source applications and programmes to help users create digital content. Participants learned how to create, use and share some of the multimedia outputs, such as posters, short animations and promotional videos. Also discussed were the spread of synthetic media applications used to manipulate audiovisual content—tools that are used to spread misinformation or disinformation and to create deep fakes—as well as how to develop skills used to evaluate and verify information.

International librarians’ flashmob – A tribute to Ulysses

The World Library and Information Congress (IFLA-WLIC) 2022 in Dublin, is an opportunity for librarians from many countries of the world to discover Ireland, Dublin, their culture and their literature.

In order to pay tribute to the importance of Irish literature in the world literature, IFLA New Professionals Special Interest Group and the Library Association of Ireland organize a short flashmob where librarians are invited to read out an excerpt of James Joyce’s Ulysses in their own language. We will have paper sheets with the text of an except but bring your own copy if you can! (because books are beautiful)

Feel welcome to come and participate on Monday July 24th at 10:45 on Library Square!

The performance will include 3 times :

1. Preparation

From 10:45 to 10:55, we will provide participants with instructions and with linguistic versions of an excerpt of Ulysses.

2. Walking

From 10:55 to 10:59, we will go to some corner of the square and wait until it’s 11:00.

3. Reading

From 11:00 to 11:05, participants will walk to the square and/or the lawn and read out an excerpt of Ulysses in English or in their own language while walking.
During that time, some designated members and some photographs or journalists may take pictures and film the reading.
