The library of the Instituto Gemológico de Madrid began operating with the Colibrí SIGB. It is the first library in Spain to adopt a system of this nature and to have entrusted its development and promotion, opting for a comprehensive automation plan that encompasses the cataloging, identification, shelving, and primary classification of its bibliographic holdings.
