Confinement: an experience of self-improvement and an opportunity for the workers of the Americanist Library of Seville to get closer to the world.

Abstract

Those of us who work at the Americanist Library of Seville (BAS) have not stopped doing so since March 13 when we were told that we had to stay at home until further notice. The four people who currently make up the human group working in this library, there is a fifth colleague who is not active, we established, almost without realizing it, a weekly dynamic of video calls every two days, so that every week we have reported the progress, the difficulties and above all, we have given each other encouragement and encouragement when we saw that the confinement was prolonged. The human part of our work team has been fundamental to be able to continue our day to day in a lively way, alone, but not in solitude, and to continue being productive.
