A month ago I had the opportunity to attend a lecture at the Intercultural University of Mexico State (UIEM), and finally, before returning to Mexico, I went to meet his library, which occupies a temporary space in a prefabricated building. Approximately 80 meters you can see the building that will house, tentivamente from March 2011, the new library and other offices of the University. Up in the left photo we see the current library, and in the right, in the background, the new building is constructed. The UIEM began on 10 December 2003, although formally began operations in September 2004, to provide educational services to the population of 23 municipalities in the state of Mexico who speaks 
Mazahua nahnu, Matlazinca, Nahua and English Tlahuica. 30% of its school population speak English and others speak an indigenous language, but are usually bilingual. Its educational offer is four courses: Intercultural communication, sustainable development, language and culture and intercultural health.
is important to note that the notion of multiculturalism is continuing debate in the universities of this type, because although it is based on the concepts of difference and diversity, there is still heated debate on the scope, policies and ways of being intercultural.
was not until about six months ago that were addressed UIEM his books, which had been narrated as we embodegados, haphazardly. As were many and most were in crates in the prefabricated building that we saw before, in 2010 decided it was time to have a library.
One of the librarians was a student founder, and told me that the University never had a library before. Even when the lawyer was engaged in library Rosa Isela Avila Malpica, began an arduous task of opening boxes and sorting of many hundreds volumes that were already in bad shape or mold, then made a disposal of materials that do not retain any sense, as there are for any subject taught or a research topic. Discarded books were placed on a table outside the library for donation, and tell me that there was great merriment among students and teachers who did not leave a volume.
Currently, this library has three human resources (one is the boss, Rosa Isela). It has about eight thousand volumes, which are being cataloged and classified according to the Dewey Decimal System, but the thing is a bit slow. There is seating for 20 people, five of which serve to see the same number of Internet-ready computers for users. Other four computers are used for processes.
A part of the collection of indigenous languages \u200b\u200bis attending college. The library has a budget for purchasing books and subscriptions to journals and databases, but is small and there is a promise that the University in 2011 with the new building, everything will change. Purchases are made once a year by tender.
Anyone interested in knowing this library, you must move to San Felipe del Progreso, State of Mexico, where the University is in the Bypass Francisco Villa s / n, Colonia Centro. Their phone number is 01-712-123-5963. It arrives via Atlacomulco. The website of the University is http://uiem.no-io.info/uiem, but announced that it is under construction and information is missing. Visit this college and know your library is worth it.
