We Celebrate National Librarian Day: A Day of Learning, Innovation, and Recognition

On July 18th, as part of National Librarian Day, a significant day of activities took place in the Rector's Hall on South Campus, led by the Library team. This space became a meeting point for reflection on the transformative role of libraries in university life.

The day began with a welcome message from Alma E. Cázares Ruiz, Library Director, who highlighted the importance of these spaces as pillars in the academic, personal, and professional development of our students. Her message underscored the value of the library as a place where critical thinking, research, and the construction of shared knowledge are fostered.

As part of the program, Dr. Rafael E. Alcaraz Rodríguez, PhD in Economics and Business Management from Deusto Business School, led the workshop "Immersive Learning Experiences." Through group dynamics and outdoor exercises, participants enjoyed experiences focused on leadership, teamwork, and experiential learning—fundamental values in Anáhuac's comprehensive education.

In a second presentation, Professor Rosalía Bueno Cantinca, Coordinator of Information Organization, presented two strategic initiatives: "Library for Researchers" and the "Catalog of Authorities," aimed at strengthening access to and organization of academic knowledge for the benefit of our university community.

Subsequently, Professor José Manuel Santiago Muñoz, Director of Technology Operations, and Juan Pablo Granados Carmona, Designer of Innovation and Educational Development Experiences, shared the progress of the project for the future "Virtual Reality Collaborative Room." This proposal, focused on the integration of immersive technologies, seeks to enrich the teaching-learning processes from an interdisciplinary and innovative perspective.

The day concluded with a moving message of recognition from Professor José Manuel Santiago Muñoz. Cázares, who thanked and praised the commitment, dedication, and dedication to service of each member of the Library team. Their daily work strengthens the academic and human spirit that characterizes our University.
