Nuevos escenarios en la educación en Bibliotecología, Documentación y Archivología

Abstract

Education in the field of library sciences, documentation and archival science faces different challenges according to the country in which it is developed. The information society is based on the use, management and generation of information, which is the axis of production that gives strength to the economic development of society. Information professionals regain importance because they are in charge of selecting, preserving, organizing and disseminating pertinent, relevant, academically valid and usable information. Two relevant facts are added: the first one is related to the indiscriminate generation of digital documents of all sciences, activities and subjects of free access; on the other hand, the fact that information professionals must teach users to select relevant information for their purposes. The trainers of professionals and researchers in the education of this field face a series of challenges with different visions and actions that are presented in this work, with the contribution of teachers and researchers from Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Spain, Cuba, Costa Rica, among other countries
