I develop my activities, generally teaching, both face-to-face and virtually, using all the distance education technologies currently available.

I work around most of the topics that make up conventional librarianship (i.e., those taught in a standard university curriculum). Additionally, I cover the social aspects of the profession (critical and trench librarianship, libraries "on the margins"), memory-related activities (orality, traditional knowledge), areas of contact between library/information and the biological and environmental sciences, and the world of data management.

Among the potential activities to be developed (courses, workshops and/or seminars) I offer the series "Librarianship for non-librarians" (with a wide selection of contents, from acquisition to cataloguing and classification, including policy design and reading promotion), the series "Trench Librarianship" (for non-conventional libraries or those working in complex spaces), the "Decolonizing libraries" series (approaching library work from Southern Epistemologies and decolonization), the "Libraries and biosphere" series (addressing citizen science, sustainability, degrowth, "green libraries" and the Agenda 2030), and the "Libraries from scratch" series (for those librarians who want to start a library). I also work with ontology and thesaurus construction, metadata design, knowledge classification, data management, and semantic web.

Lastly, I offer courses, workshops and/or seminars on the collection and management of oral tradition and endangered sounds (languages and music, especially indigenous) and on the organization of library services for indigenous societies and minority populations.

Interested organizations and institutions can contact me for more information, to consult the possibility of carrying out activities not included here, and to set timetables and conditions.
