English abstract
The results of an information technology adoption survey are presented in this paper. The population, studied through a written questionnaire and when needed, through a telephone interview, was all the 40 Mexican state university library systems. The study was focused on the use of technology for information management and promotion of library services. It included four main aspects: 1) Library management software, 2) Virtual information services, that is search engines, electronic resources management, virtual reference services and digital document repositories; 3) Computer staff and computers for library users; and 4) Use of social networks as collaborative and communication tools for library services promotion. An analysis of performance indicators based on university size identifies strengths and weaknesses in these four components.
