English abstract

The implementation of an automated system in information units in countries involved in a process of library conversion, is usually carried out under the influence of different factors. These are defined as external or contextual, when they refer to the library environment conditions and as internal when they relate to the library structure and intrinsic functioning. This work intends to carry out a qualitative research on the basis of the categories mentioned above, from specific cases selected from the library literature. Its aim is to describe and assess the incidence levels of these factors in the automation of information units. In conclusion, the present analysis reveals the preminence of internal factors (technical and of library management and policy) over those identified as external. It also shows that instances associated with the project planning and human resources training, appear as the most relevant indicator in the stage of results evaluation.

Spanish abstract

La implementación de un sistema automatizado en unidades de información pertenecientes a países involucrados en un proceso de reconversión bibliotecaria se lleva a cabo bajo la influencia de diferentes factores. Estos se definen como externos o contextuales cuando se refieren a las condiciones del entorno en el cual se inserta la institución bibliotecaria y como internos o bibliotecológicos cuando se relacionan con la estructura y el funcionamiento intrínseco de la organización. El presente trabajo se propone realizar un estudio cualitativo sobre la base de dicha categorización, a partir de casos concretos relevados en la literatura bibliotecológica, con el objetivo de describir y evaluar los niveles de incidencia de los citados factores en la informatización de las unidades. En conclusión, el análisis efectuado pone de manifiesto la preeminencia de los factores internos (técnico-bibliotecológicos y de gestión y política bibliotecaria) sobre aquellos identificados como externos; como así también, revela que las instancias asociadas con la planificación del proyecto y la formación de recursos humanos surgen como indicadores de mayor peso en la etapa de evaluación de resultados.
