English abstract

School libraries have been widely studied in Colombia from infrastructure capacities to their importance in educational institutions. However, these studies have failed to illustrate librarians’ perceptions of technologies, their adoption and how students use technologies within their schools. This research presents a new approach to school libraries in Colombia by identifying technology adoption, use and use of open source materials within public school libraries using a mixed-methods approach. Results reveal low technology adoption among school librarians and high use for students in social media and mobile devices.

Spanish abstract

Las bibliotecas escolares han sido ampliamente estudiadas en Colombia desde las capacidades de infraestructura hasta su importancia en las instituciones educativas. Sin embargo, estos estudios no han logrado ilustrar las percepciones de los bibliotecarios sobre las tecnologías, su adopción y cómo los estudiantes usan las tecnologías dentro de sus escuelas. Esta investigación presenta un nuevo enfoque para las bibliotecas escolares en Colombia al identificar la adopción de tecnología, el uso y el uso de materiales de código abierto dentro de las bibliotecas escolares públicas utilizando un enfoque de métodos mixtos. Los resultados revelan una baja adopción de tecnología entre los bibliotecarios escolares y un alto uso por parte de los estudiantes en las redes sociales y dispositivos móviles.
