Publishing novelties
Trea Publishing keeps on offering new interesting titles for librarians.In the last weeks they have published Las bibliotecas nacionales: un estado de la cuestión (The national libraries: state of the art), by Juan José Fuentes, professor in the University of A Coruña, with a great professional background in the field of public libraries. In this complete work he analyses the concept of national library, besides offering the evolution of the most important national libraries and study other issues such as the colections in the national libraries, their buildings and physical facilities and the strategic plannification of this kind of institutions. On the other hand, Trea has published Nuevos horizontes en el análisis de los registros y la normativa catalográfica, by Ana Belén Ríos Hilario, professor in the University of Salamanca. In this second title she examinates the concept of bibliographic record and its conceptual structure; but the most important thing of this work is that it faces the file about functional requirements of IFLA, taking it as the basis of this new title, that fills a gap in the Spanish professional bibliography.
