English abstract
Research and academic libraries are the most developed information centers in Latin America. Their parent organizations are usually universities, government, and to a less extent private companies. Their library collections are therefore among the best. However, due to several factors, library collaboration and cooperation is limited, especially due to poor telecommunication links. Collections built by research and academic libraries evolve in isolation from one another, a factor that reduces their international cooperation potential. However, new information technologies and the integration of regional and national computer networks, together with their connection to Internet, have a great potential for increasing communication and cooperation among libraries in Latin America as well as improving ties with their North American counterparts.
