Lectores, desarrollo tecnológico y bibliotecarios: ¿preparados para el cambio?

Abstract

This article has as its main purpose to present the current state of the question related with the challenges and opportunities imposed to the library sector by a changing technological environment. The analysis of the literature focuses on three key elements for the development of libraries today: the readers -the reason for the existence of libraries-, librarians -as mediators and facilitators of information and educational processes- and technologies -which foster the development of new services and products. Librarians must clearly recognize their role today, so that their work remains relevant.
