#AVAFDocumentation
Granada. – June 1, 2023

The Documentation Service of the Valencian Anti-Fraud Agency participated last June 2023 in the Spanish Information and Documentation Conference 2023 held in Granada.

María Teresa López Ferrer, head of the Documentation and Reports Service, and Francisco Xavier Saá Úbeda, head of the Agency’s Documentation Support department, presented a poster at the conference about the AVAF Library and Documentation Center.

It was highlighted, first of all, that article 29 of the AVAF Regulation establishes that “the Agency will have a specialized documentary fund in the prevention and fight against fraud and corruption, and in the promotion of integrity and good practices in the administration, with the aim of building a reference documentation center (…) that is at the service of citizens”.

Starting from this legal imperative, the Agency’s library and documentation center, as explained in the panel, was created to contribute to the creation of a social culture of rejection of corruption.

In this way, the Agency puts qualified information at the service of citizens both to be able to defend their fundamental rights against fraud and corruption, and to have access to information, education and culture in general.

Power in your hands: libraries, archives, museums was the motto of the conference. The motto was intended to highlight the power and transformation capacity of these cultural institutions for guaranteeing democratic access to information, leisure and culture.
