Lic. Emilia Tressi, Librarian, will always be dearly remembered.
It was a privilege for our institution to have her invaluable contribution for 45 years (1970-2015). She made her contribution from the Department of Documentation and Library Services; she was a member of several advisory committees aiding the Council (administrative matters, school building, communication, among other things). She also organized and contributed to many academic, union, social and solidarity events.
She played a fundamental role in the dissemination of knowledge, both in print and through open access means, with the creation and maintenance of the Dentistry Virtual Library (Biblioteca Virtual en Odontología-BVS).
We have been able to appreciate her administrative discipline, her clear institutional objectives and those of the library, her honest and straightforward attitude towards students, teachers and administrative staff, as well as her capacity for work and service vocation which only compare to her human qualities and amazing generosity.
She always strove to strengthen institutional bonds by leading an exchange system for materials with over 100 universities in Latin America.
Though we must resign ourselves to losing her, the example she set reminds us of our commitment to being members of this university in a broad sense, whereby serving the community is a mandatory and imperative objective.
Her principles and actions will always guide our path and make her part of all our future projects.
