Usuarios, archivos y bibliotecas : servicios, teoría y práctica

Abstract

Traditionally, researches about users of information have been carried about in academic communities, but this has left aside the social ones, a matter that also impacts the studies of Library Science. This book, then, is a conjoint effort for finding out among different groups of users, in contexts which have not been previously studied. Here then, are reunited some works focused in certain groups such as taxi drivers, wine-makers, indigenous communities or those people which simply are not users of the information units. Also are here collected studies about archive users, another community which has not yet been sufficiently studied. The information gathered in these articles can contribute to shape the conformation of the necessary theoretical frames that would help us to better understand the complexity of information users.
