    "Beijing: the world's largest marketplace for art? March 11, 2013 By Sebastien Goulard | edit Vases on sale in a department store in Shanghai Vases on sale in a department store in Shanghai China has become the largest art market in the world. This could have important consequences for Chinese cities. The new urban upper class has rediscovered its heritage and has been exploring new artistic trends. Thanks to China's new passion for art, fresh talents have emerged and have been widely recognized. Chinese art lovers are flocking to the main international art market centres, where auction houses cater to the new clientele, offering Chinese language services. Since 2010, China has progressively come to dominate the art market. In 2011, China represented 41.4% of global fine art auction sales revenue, while the USA and the UK lagged far behind, with 23.6% and 19.4%, respectively1.

    "Depuis le jeudi 07 février 2013, un nouvel atelier est proposé à tous les lecteurs de la Bibliothèque nationale de France, les jeudis après-midi de 14h30 à 16h. Intitulé « Gallica et ressources électroniques », il est destiné à permettre aux usagers de la bibliothèque qui le souhaitent de se familiariser avec les collections numérisées et les ressources électroniques proposées par l'établissement. Outre la prise en main du moteur de recherche Gallica et des fonctionnalités qui en permettent un usage simplifié, le lecteur a aussi la possibilité de découvrir la richesse des collections mises à sa disposition : fonds manuscrit, imprimé mais également sonore ou iconographique. Par ailleurs, un panorama des différentes bases de données pour lesquelles la BnF a souscrit un abonnement est proposé au lecteur. En s'appuyant sur différents exemples (et, dans la mesure du possible, sur ceux proposés par le public), le formateur montre les différentes méthodes de recherche d'articles en ligne et de livres électroniques. Loin de s'apparenter à un cours magistral, ces séances de formation sont conçues comme de véritables travaux pratiques. Les lecteurs inscrits disposent ainsi chacun d'un ordinateur qui leur permet de s'exercer au maniement des outils de recherche documentaire présentés par le formateur au cours de la séance. "
