Hot Spots That End In Brusing



The London Book Fair 2009, presented the Espresso Book Machine, a book vending machine. But we can not see in meters, in which there is an offer of ten books, in these you can choose from a range of more than 500,000 books and apparatus at the time you print it. It takes an average of between 5 and 10 minutes. A speed of 100 pages per minute and another for the binding.

The machine costs a whopping EUR 130000. There were already some models installed in museums in the U.S., Canada and the very library of Alexandria. Its creator is a state editor Unidense Eptein named Jason, owner of the company's On Demand Book "the distributor of the machine. Blackwell bookstore chain in England has bought the first machine EBM in Europe and may soon all have a large surface.

So far has only books that have prescribed the rights of the author, the prices are about the same as that of the books in any bookstore. Quality as those who have tested the machine say it is good, the paper is glossy white and somewhat sticky but the style sheet with pictures. It is estimated that by the end of the year, double the number of available titles and print speed. The model presented at the fair was 1.5 and is expected to end this year 2.0.

other hand part of the magic of this invention are the possibilities of printing the print books, old printed books or their own works of writers. We could say that is quite a reinvention of the printing press Gutenber recreating a revolution within the world of culture. Equally we can print just one of many of Leonardo Da Vinci as a novel written by ourselves and so see it finished as a book either.

Expresso Book Machine World Digital Library

Earlier days, March 21, 2009, UNESCO in collaboration with 32 states over launched the World Digital Library (WDL) . On this website we have free access to the funds of major international libraries.

The collection of the library started with books, prints, sound recordings, documents, maps, photographs, scores, etc ... The page is in just seven languages \u200b\u200bfor now but soon were increased (English, English, French, Russian, Chinese, Arabic and Portuguese).

Its shelves will find documents of all kinds as a recording of the Lumiere brothers in Holy Week Seville more than a century, newspapers large as Magellan or written characters which do calligraphy as old as China, Persian or Egyptian.

Ultimately a new tool that will allow us to conduct research from home chair in front of the computer. Prior to document or just check out sources that we had was our source library and then move to it, sometimes simply approach our local library and other posing a trip where trick or cajole a friend or relative. For all that is over. Is still at an early stage but already has enough interesting material and promise to continue growing to the point of having the collaboration of libraries in over 60 countries by the end of 2009.

It is okay so confused at this time of globalization will lead to something more than to mergers and takeovers. I think a perfect example of citizenship to try to combine the knowledge of the different cultures of the world to see if we understand a little better.
