Abstract
El edificio de una biblioteca constituye la primera imagen que el público se forma con relación a los servicios que puede esperar de ella y llega a representar un símbolo del nivel cultural, económico y social de una institución, ciudad o país, por lo que estudiar los elementos que influyen en su edificación, y por ende en la prestación de servicios de información, se constituye en una labor que no puede ser postergada en las sociedades actuales marcadas, entre otros factores, por el impacto del desarrollo tecnológico, el cambio climá- tico, la globalización cultural, la seguridad social, así como el cambio de valores y costumbres que guían el comportamiento del ser humano. En México es poca la literatura que refiere al número y características con que cuentan estos edificios, por lo que el presente documento describe la normativa mexicana que trata sobre la construcción de bibliotecas a partir de la identificación de la legislación, políticas, actores e instituciones que han abordado el tema, de tal forma que al final se presenta la problemática detectada como un primer acercamiento para la elaboración de propuestas viables, en beneficio de una mejor oferta de servicios de información.
Abstract
The building housing a library is the first image the public grasps concerning what he can expect to receive inside. Moreover, the library building is a symbol of the cultural, economic, and social development of an institution, city or country. Gaining a better awareness of the influences involved in library construction and, consequently, the information services it provides should not be put off by societies impacted by technological development, climate change, cultural globalization, social security, as well as shifting values and customs informing the behavior of human beings. Mexico has scant literature addressing the features library buildings. This study, therefore, analyzes Mexican library construction regulations, identifying current law, policies, and agencies and institutions holding stakes in this field. Finally, these issues are discussed terms of how information services might feasibly be improved.
