La biblioteca como gestora y creadora de productos para el control y acceso a la información del Instituto de Ciencias Nucleares, UNAM

Abstract

The project of the Library and Information Unit (UIB) of the Institute of Nuclear Sciences (ICN) of the UNAM to develop an integrated information management system, called SIGI, for auditing its academic resources and production is presented. As the basis of the automation project, the library took the annual activity report drawn up by the academics of the institution. The processes of change and design, and the resulting activities and information products are described, in particular, the generation of institutional bibliometric indicators, the academic directory and the institutional repository. The library has evolved from a traditional role to a new one in which it has become a scientific information management unit.
