The Library Question or “The Human Factor”
Abstract
The author reflects, prospectively, to some of the characteristics of "new episteme" that reconfigures the Library & Information Science, from the introduction of the computer world in the discipline. Among the topics included, he claims creative and provoking disorder in libraries, with the help of some digital devices. Also meditates about new ways to interact with users through virtual reality. Finally, it emphasizes the unavoidable impact of the human factor between reader and librarian, and calls for direct contact between people.Downloads
