It explains how the dissemination strategies were designed and implemented by creating of different experiential activities on the daily tasks of the professional person in library science, the generation of graphic and audiovisual material on the career and the preparation of resources to support the exposed discourse. Likewise, the strategies and resources used are evaluated both with the collaborating staff and with the student community that visited the event.

Centurio senex is an iconic bat characterized by a facial morphology deviating far from all other New World Leaf Nosed Bats (Phyllostomidae). The species has a bizarrely wrinkled face and lacks the characteristic nose leaf. Throughout its distribution from Mexico to Northern South America the species is most of the time rarely captured and only scarce information on its behavior and natural history is available. Centurio senex is frugivorous and one of the few bats documented to consume also hard seeds. Interestingly, the species shows a distinct sexual dimorphism: Adult males have more pronounced facial wrinkles than females and a fold of skin under the chin that can be raised in style of a face mask. We report the first observations on echolocation and mating behavior of Centurio senex, including synchronized audio and video recordings from an aggregation of males in Costa Rica. Over a period of 6 weeks we located a total of 53 perches, where during the first half of the night males were hanging with raised facial masks at a mean height of 2.35 m. Most of the time, the males moved just their wing tips, and spontaneously vocalized in the ultrasound range. Approaches of other individuals resulted in the perching male beating its wings and emitting a very loud, low frequency whistling call. Following such an encounter we recorded a copulation event. The observed aggregation of adult C. senex males is consistent with lek courtship, a behavior described from only few other bat species.

Resumen El artículo aborda la importancia que tiene la imagen en la cognición del ser humano y mediante esa reflexión identifica a la fotografía como un recurso que puede utilizarse con gran potencial no solo en la colección de la biblioteca, sino, también, en la digitalización de documentos, la promoción de servicios, la gestión cultural, la alfabetización informacional, la animación lectora y la preservación de información. En este último tema se aborda una propuesta sobre las utilidades que puede tener en bibliotecas el uso de una de las técnicas fotográficas recientes: la fotografía esférica 360. Además, para llevar a la práctica estas aplicaciones de la fotografía, el documento propone una serie de características idóneas para el perfil de la persona profesional en Bibliotecología.
Abstract The article addresses the importance of the image in the cognition of the human being and through this reflection identifies photography as a resource that can be used with great potential not only in the collection of the library, but also in the digitalization of documents, the promotion of services, cultural management, information literacy, reading animation and the preservation of information. In this last subject a proposal is approached on the utilities that can have in libraries the use of one of the recent photographic techniques: the spherical photography 360. In addition, to carry out these applications of the photography the document proposes a series of characteristics ideal for the profile of the professional in librarianship.

Resumen Se expone, en detalle, el proceso de implementación de dos servicios de referencia en la Biblioteca de la Corte Interamericana de Derechos Humanos, mediante el uso de dispositivos y aplicaciones móviles. Los servicios implementados son la atención de consultas por mensaje de texto (SMS) y el envío de alertas informativas a través de Whatsapp. Se abordan detalles de la instalación, las pruebas del servicio y las políticas de implementación. Se concluye que las nuevas tecnologías móviles están brindando a las bibliotecas modernas posibilidades de ofertar sus servicios, dando al usuario la capacidad de utilizar los recursos de la unidad de información sin desplazarse físicamente al edificio; estas posibilidades no necesariamente requieren de una alta inversión presupuestaria para llevarlas a cabo.

It is concluded that new mobile technologies are giving libraries new possibilities to offer their services, giving the user the ability to use the resources of the information unit without moving physically to the building. These new possibilities do not necessarily require a high budget investment to carry them out.
