Todo el mundo pensará que Oodi es la biblioteca más importante de Helsinki, pero puede que no... Pasila es una biblioteca más antigua y con menos espacios sociales para la gente. Peeeero… ahí se guarda el archivo de toda la red de bibliotecas de Helsinki! Igual, ojo, no tengo fotos porque varias áreas estaban en uso, pero tiene salas de reuniones, makerspace, estudios de grabación y una colección enorme de CDs y vinilos. #bibliotecas #libraries #turismoDeBibliotecas #libraryTourism #publiclibraries

Have been working here today, such a fab spot. Plenty of space. And you don’t have to get there at the crack of the dawn to get a desk like the British Library too. It’s now got its own subway as well! #Melbourne #libraries #statelibraryvic #Australia #work

Floppy disks were introduced in the early 1970s and in the two decades before they became obsolete, tens of billions were produced, most of which ended up in landfills, long-forgotten storage, or libraries. Archivist Leontien Talboom has been working for the past few years to preserve the floppy disks in the Cambridge University Library, collaborating with retro-computing enthusiasts. She talked to @PopularScience@flipboard.com about the project. https://flip.it/Hg8Swi #Technology #Tech #RetroComputing #LIbraries
