Abstract
El presente trabajo determina los niveles de ruido ambiental en una biblioteca universitaria. Se consideraron 10 puntos estratégicos en el interior de las instalaciones y en tres periodos diferentes del calendario escolar. La medición utilizó un sonómetro cesva 160. Se obtuvieron registros por encima de los 60 decibeles y máximos cercanos a los 70, valores que resultaron fuera del intervalo recomendado por la Organización Mundial de la Salud. Las áreas de mayor ruido fueron la Sala de lectura y el área del mostrador de Circulación. Las principales fuentes de ruido identificadas fueron los usuarios, aviones, teléfonos celulares y equipos de cómputo. Se señala como factor crítico el dise- ño arquitectónico del edificio, en virtud del efecto de reverberación que genera, el cual determina la pobre calidad acústica de las instalaciones. Se concluye que el profesional de la información debe participar en el diseño arquitectónico y que hay que fomentar la cultura bibliotecaria, además de generar y aplicar normas y estándares pertinentes.
Abstract
This paper examines ambient noise levels in a university library, taking measurements at ten key locations with in the library installation over three periods of the school calendar, using a cesva 160 sound level meter. Decibel levels above 60 and several touching 70 were recorded, the latter of which surpasses World Health Organization recommendations. The reading room and the checkout desk were the areas exhibiting the highest noise levels. The main sources of noise identified were users, passing aircraft, mobile telephones and computer equipment. A critical factor in these noise levels is the inadequate acoustic design of the library building provoking excessive reverberation. Researchers conclude that information and library professionals should participate in the design of buildings to be used as libraries. Moreover, pertinent stakeholders should promote library culture through the issuance of and enforcement of standards.
