Baja California Library Association (ABIBAC) and its participation in the education of the librarians from Baja California between 2003 and 2009

Abstract

The beginning of the Baja California Library Association (ABIBAC) dates back with a series of academic events which took place in this state since 1989, such as: Training Workshops in Library Science, Certified Course on Electronic Systems and Processes applied to Information Management in Libraries; the courses on Evaluation of Scientific Journals and Theory and Methods of Information and Reference Services, as well as courses on Planning and Organization of Library Services; the latter taught by Lic. César Augusto Ramírez Velázquez, who as a final paper asked for a project titled “Project on Training and Updating for the Library Staff in Baja California”, which allowed for scheduling a series of meetings that ended up with the formal constitution of ABIBAC on March 19th, 2003.
