Es necesario destacar la importancia de la biblioteca y el bibliotecólogo como principal gestor de la conservación y divulgación de tan importante tesoro.Un tesoro que educa y procura seres humanos con una visión de mundo más holística, progresista, autodidacta, con mayor sensibilidad ante el compromiso de la vida en sociedad.El libro como tecnología ha permitido a los pueblos elevar el bagaje cultural, conocer su historia, para comprender así su presente y proyectarse al futuro.Las diversas disciplinas científicas no lograrían ser lo que hoy son, sin el aporte valioso de estos diversos soportes en los que se ha almacenado tan vasto conocimiento y en los que tan sabiamente el bibliotecólogo ha procesado, almacenado y diseminado la información, para acercar al usuario a la gran explosión bibliográfica producida mayoritariamente en la sociedad de la información.El ideal de la sociedad de la información debe incluir desde las más tempranas edades escolares, hasta los científicos más destacados el acceso equitativo a esta preciada triada: la palabra, la escritura y el libro.

Classification of free software oriented at the integral automation of libraries according to the level of complexity of the library: simple libraries, libraries of medium complexity and libraries of high complexity
(2013-04-06 05:46:30) Fernández Morales, Mynor
This article presents a proposal to classify oriented software automation of libraries according to the following sublevels: a simple library, library of medium complexity or high complexity libraries. To classify a library in each of these sublevels, six variables are used to perform the appropriate sizing, which are: type of library, the collection size, type of materials handled, number and type of users served by the library, the level of expertise of human resources that handles the library, and finally the technical and economic capacity to take into the library. Besides classifying libraries also is classified the free software oriented automation of these as the following sublevels: simple software, software of medium complexity and high complexity software. For this second classification, used seven criteria including: the level of robustness of the database engine that supports the application, the level of parameterization, the platform on which the software is developed, the type of support provided to the computer application, the level of ease for the development of new requirements, software interoperability, and finally the management of international standards to import and export information. At the end is included a list-oriented software classified the automation of libraries.

Costa Rica and the challenge to the Information Society
(2013-04-06 05:46:30) Gómez Merayo, Matilde
The following article makes reference to public policies and their importance to include Costa Rica in the information society (IS). These policies allow creating the necessary conditions to sustain IS. Also, they are the operating framework that should permit to have a more inclusive, multicultural Costa Rican society that guarantees the democratic access to information, knowledge and ICT’s. In order to establish the Information Society (IS) in Costa Rica, and in any other country, it is required to develop an action plan based on the collaboration of the public and private sectors. On one side, the public sector in charge of the promotion, regulation of activities through public policies. On the other side, the private sector implementing those public policies and financing the information society in the creation of new services, products, jobs, and a competitive economy. In the search for the State’s efficiency and transparency, there are two types of relation: State – ICT’s and State – Information Society, both with the purpose of achieving a greater economic growth and citizen’s welfare. Unfortunately, Costa Rica lacks public policies that guarantee free access to public information and ICT’s. Additionally, the lack of politic will and politicians’ interests, these relations are impossible to establish and States’ efficiency and transparency are unattainable.
The purport of metadata in libraries
(2013-04-06 05:46:30) Rodríguez García, Ariel Alejandro
A lot of metadata structures for describing information resources created by humans to be used by them. For a pair of decades, the Semantic Web activity is focused on the representation of data through the creation of profiles that automatically pass information systems, allowing the filtering, selection and connection of different pieces of information. At the present time, guidelines for acquiring information, process and disseminate, conducive to professional librarians entering different markets will require greater knowledge and expertise. The purpose of this paper is to show how the metadata are being used to organize and control a wider range of information resources in the collections of digital libraries and institutional repositories. After reviewing the literature on the metadata, which relate to the way they are understanding the metadata in libraries, we conclude that the bibliographic traditions and metadata activity, substantive elements the third movement of cataloging, are proposed outside the course that had Bibliographic Control in standardizing and unifying the standards of description.
