Watch the VIDEO here. Presenter - Frédéric Brodkom.The ARES-CCD (formerly CUD) is the French-speaking universities and high-school of Belgium Commission for the Cooperation to Development. With an annual budget of 31 M€ fully dedicated to the academic development of actually 19 universities of North and Central Africa, South-East Asia, Western South America and Greater Antilles, this commission brings together volunteers of the academic, scientific and administrative staffs of our universities. Since 2000, librarians are strongly involved in this project with the aim to develop the partner’s libraries, to improve their infrastructures and operations, to facilitate their access to documentary resources and to strengthen their librarians' skills.Given the important documentary needs of students and researchers in the South and the lack of financial resources, the promotion of Open Science is more than an obvious. We will show that, in addition to our activities of purchasing books or materials, basic training or library renovation, we develop, in close partnership with our colleagues, the Open Science culture in six fields:(1) The installation and support of open-source ILS (mainly KOHA and PMB), including the learning of IT teams(2) The harvesting and promotion of OA resources via our Web Portal, including subscription to official resources of international organization(3) The development of policies to develop local institutional repositories for new and archived (printed) publications and thesis (DSpace support, purchase of scanner, etc)(4) The support to the development of university presses to reduce/abolish the excessive cost of printed course materials for students(5) Training and awareness-raising of library trainers for academic social networks, data exchange platforms, community-based researchers' sites, OA use, etc.(6) Promote the obligation to deposit in our university repositories the scientific papers financed by the ARES-CCD cooperation and co-signed by Belgian researchers and partners of developing countries (academic and doctorate students).Concrete case studies of our 17 years of experience in the South from Haiti to Vietnam will illustrate these actions. Perspectives on future projects will also be discussed, such as a week, jointly with all our partners, of exchange and work in Belgium in 2018 (as already done in 2016) on the topic of the practical implementation of Open Access in their universities.

Since the paper of Given & Leckie (Libr. Infor. Sci. Res. 2003) about the use of ethnographic methods in libraries to define how students make use of their (!) spaces in libraries, few experiences have been published in Europe. A contact with a Canadian team having applied this kind of end‐user survey to map the social activities in libraries (9th Northumbria Conf., May & Swabey 2011) was our starting point to experiment the “sweeping” method of analysis in the Library of science and technology (UCL). As a relocation project of our old library of the seventies has been planned into a new building for 2015, the survey was also an opportunity to rethink the spaces and the services of our library. What are the habits and the activities of our users, mainly digital natives? What is their use of the spaces? What are they doing with our reading tablets available? And when and how? The responses given by the survey will improve our efficiency to plan changes, to argument our discussions with architects, to select furniture and equipments and, why not, to invent new services. Our methodology to “sweeping the seats” consists to realise a 30’ tour of the library and to record for each user his profile (student, staff …), his location (rooms for groups, reading table, information desk …) and his activity (studying alone or working in groups, with or without our books! browsing the web, with or without Facebook! eating or sleeping …). The survey is conducted by a young and discreet librarian who records this information on a check‐list with 10 different spaces and 25 different activities. The project, conducted between September 2011 and June 2012, consist to repeat this short 30’ survey at 60representative moments of the academic calendar. After 5 months and 1.295 records, the trends reflected for the period are already significant: 28% of users are studying alone without our books, only 5% are not students, 22% are in small rooms for groups, 18% are on the Web but not in the library databases, etc. The communication at the 2012 Liber Conference will present the methods and check‐lists, the final results, the statistical analysis and, of course, the lessons learned from this survey in parallel to our LibQUAL+ results.

Facing this unavoidable need in instructions, the UCL libraries created a transversal team. Seven librarian instructors from each faculty library compose this team. The main goal of this team is to determine the need for instructions and to implement the policy that will allow to respond them. This group also constitutes the interface between the users and the designers of the OPAC. One of the first tasks of the team has been the realization of the on-line help of the libraries'catalogue. It also ensures its upgrade every time the OPAC changes. In 2001, by means of an inquiry towards the librarian instructors, the group has established an inventory of all the existing instructions offers among the different libraries, as well as the intended public.

Little is known about the cleavage–fold relationships in the Lower Palaeozoic Brabant Massif, primarily because of the scarcity of suitable exposures. Moreover, to date, folds have only been described in the Ordovician and Silurian sequences along the southern extremity of the basement. However, excavation works for the construction of the TGV(railway)-track south of Brussels created an opportunity to study cleavage–fold relationships in the Lower Cambrian terrigenous series (Tubize Group) in a more central part of the Brabant Massif. The structural features observed seemed inconsistent with the suspected regional trends. Primarily, a divergent cleavage fan was observed in a region thought to have a regular cleavage attitude. The symmetrical but divergent disposition of the cleavage with regard to the fold hinges is explained by flexural folding of a pre-existing bedding-parallel compaction fabric. Cleavage development and folding are considered synchronous. The divergent cleavage fan reflects local strain variations. Also the steeply plunging hinge lines of the open, subangular folds are seemingly inconsistent with the regional trend characterized by subhorizontal fold hinges. Taking into account the structural position of the fold assemblage in the subvertical limb of a large-scale, upright, isoclinal fold structure, the fold assemblage is interpreted as an incongruous parasitic feature. The steeply plunging hinge lines are considered to be caused by fold hinge rotation during progressive coaxial deformation. Although this incongruous fold assemblage with its divergent cleavage fan is localized, it provides important information on both local and regional deformation circumstances in this part of the Anglo-Brabant Fold Belt.

The aim of this paper is to present a key of analysis and some results of our research on the tectonic behaviour (folding and shearing) and role of Waulsortian mudmounds in various sedimentary and tectonic settings of Western Europe, and particularly in Belgium, Brittany and Southern Ireland.

Des analyses paragenetiques et structurales des filons mineralises d'âge tertiaire de San Matias et Capillani (Potosi, Bolivie) ont ete menees afin de preciser les liens entre mineralisations (Zn-Pb-Ag) et les deformations tectoniques. Dans ce secteur sud de la Cordillere andine orientale, l'evolution orogenique a permis la rotation progressive de l'axe de contrainte responsable des failles et cisaillements par lesquels les fluides hydrothermaux ont circule a faibles T°. Deux phases majeures de deformation et mineralisation ont ete identifiees : (1) un cisaillement dextre durant lequel la sphalerite et la gangue de quartz-siderite ont cristallise a la faveur de failles NE-SW a NNE-SSW en reouverture, et (2) un cisaillement senestre durant lequel la galene s'est deposee a la faveur de caissons prismatiques en ouverture suivant des fractures NNE-SSW prises en relais par des segments N-S. Enfin, il a ete reconnu une troisieme phase de mineralisation, surtout argentifere, et des structures post-mineralisations comme des decrochements senestres N-S.

This thesis will present a key analysis and the results of our researchs on the tectonic behaviour, mainly by folding and shearing, and role, during Variscan deformation, of Waulsortian mudmounds in various sedimentary and tectonic settings of Western Europe, and particularly in Belgium, Brittany and Southern Ireland. In oder to modelise this behaviour and role, seven structural lithofacies from lenticular mudmounds to well-stratified calcareous-shaley series have been defined. By this way, our detailled maping and inventory of structures of deformation - included strain measurements of the elliptically deformed crinoidal osscicles in limestones and shales - in the ductile, brittle or shearing conditions of the Variscan deformations have allowed to define five principles of mechanical relations between these lithofacies. Two models of Waulsortian domain structuration, during the Asturian and Sudetian-II orgonenic phases, have been carried out following these principles. In both models, folding is the essential mode of tectonic structuration, eventually accompanied by shear zones and brittle structures of regional importance or due to local effects of the lithofacies anisotropies.

Une même séquence de déformation a été établie pour deux complexes waulsortiens du Bassin de Laval (la carrière du Jars à Bouère et celle de Feux-Vilaine à St-Pierre-La-Cour). Lors du plissement, la lentille du Jars n’a pas été basculée mais son enveloppe calcschisteuse a été une zone privilégiée de glissement. À Feux-Vilaine, la compression N-S a provoqué le basculement et la fracturation ainsi que le boudinage d’un fin banc crinoïdique. Dans les deux cas, des stries sont dirigées vers l’Est ; elles expriment soit un glissement des couches sous la lentille à Bouère, soit un rejeu tectonique des structures planaires à St-Pierre-La-Cour. Enfin, une phase de déformation cassante provoqua failles, diaclases et veines.
