La síntesis crítica del conocimiento bibliotecológico: su valor para la Investigación en Bibliotecología

THE ELABORATION OF CRITICAL SYNTHESES IS PROPOSED -AUTHORIZED AT THE ACADEMIC LEVEL- WITH THE OBJETIVE OF REVALUATING AND RESTATING THE PROCEDUES OF LIBRARY RE SEARCH, ABOVE ALL THOSE ORIENTED TOWARD RE SEARCH ITSELF, THAT DO NOT RESPOND TO UTILITARIAN GOALS BUT THE SEARCH FOR THE EXPANSION OF KNOWLEDGE. ITS AIMS ARE NOT DIRECTED AT SHORT- TERMACHIE VEMENTS OR AT TECHNOLOGICAL AT TEMPTS FOR IMPROVING A PROCESS OR SERVICE. THE INTENTION IS TO SUMMARIZE INFORMATION RELATIVE TO THE BASIC COMPONENTS OF THE LIBRARY AND ITS LINKS WITH SOCIOCULTURAL DYNAMICS. THIS SHOULD MAKE CLEAR AND RELIABLE THE BONDS BETWEEN DIVERS FACTORS THAT EFFECT LIBRARY LIFE IN ORDER TO OBTAIN A COHERENT EXPLANATION OF THE SE LINKS AND THUS FACILITATE THE ORDERING OF LIBRARY RE SEARCH AND THE COMPREHENSION OF LIBRARY PHENOMENA.
