Young minds and old books: innovation for teaching bibliographic heritage

Abstract

“Quid est liber: proyecto de innovación para la docencia en libro antiguo y patrimonio bibliográfico” of the UCM is an initiative that arose in 2020 with the aim of transmitting the values and importance of bibliographic heritage to generations a priori alien to the modes of expression of the antiquarian book. The project seeks to develop quality resources, by and for students, through contact with properly directed fieldwork, the selection and preparation of relevant information and the presentation of the results in a dynamic and accessible way, without forgetting scientific accuracy.
