Video Promo for Biblionet

A short video promo for Biblionet is up on my Vimeo page. The program, which is funded by a grant from The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation through Washington, D.C. based NGO IREX, is building a modern library system across Romania by training librarians in new technologies and delivering computers and the internet to rural villages.

The IDC Photo Blog Featured Me

Bruce Dorn of IDC Photo Video in Arizona makes great HD DSLR rigs and follow focusing units. He featured me on his blog a few days ago. The shoot was for the US based NGO IREX (International Research and Exchanges Board) which has a grant from The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to build a modern library system across Romania.

Multimedia for NGO IREX in Romania

A subtitled English version will be available soon.

Biblionet is a program that is helping to build a modern public library network in Romania. It is supported by the Washington, D.C. based NGO IREX (International Research and Exchanges Board) with a grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation. Through the delivery of new computers to more than 1500 libraries, Biblionet is fostering free access to information across Romania. As part of the program, librarians are trained in the new technology and how to teach and introduce it in their communities.

Librarian Gabi Tintea from the village of Poiana Marului attended a regional training seminar in the Transylvanian city of Brasov with nine other librarians before IREX delivered the new computers to her library.
