Abstract

[Spanish abstract]

Conferencia impartida a los estudiantes y profesores del Colegio de Bibliotecología de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad Autónoma de Nuevo León a la invitación de la catedrática Maestra María del Rosario Banda Martínez (de quien el autor está muy agradecido por dicha invitación). La conferencian giró sobre estos 5 ejes que se le presentan al bibliotecario como problemas éticos en lo político y social donde dicha realidad le demanda asumir sus consecuentes responsabilidades: 1)Problemas Sociales, 2) Causas de la Falta de Compromiso Social y Político, 3) Consecuencias de la Falta de Compromiso Social y Político, 4) Desafíos Sociales y Políticos, 5) Recomendaciones a los Bibliotecarios. Sobre todo se destaca el adoptar una ética basada en la realidad, la materialidad, y naturaleza física de las bibliotecas y sus usuarios, con pensamiento crítico, analítico, escéptico y laico por encima de los posibles dogmatismos religiosos, mitológicos o fantásticos de cualesquiera índoles.

[English abstract]

Presentation (which title is: "Social and Political Responsibilities of Librarians") given to the students and professors, lecturers, readers and faculty body of the College of Library and Information Science (LIS) of the School of Philosophy and Letters at the Autonomous University of Nuevo Leon, Mexico, thanks to the invitation of Mrs. Maria del Rosario Banda Martínez, lecturer and MLS of that program (to whom the author is very thankful for such invitation). The presentation covered around these 5 themes which appear to librarians as ethical problems on the political and social scenarios where such reality expects that they assume their consequent responsibilities: 1)Social problems, 2) Lack of a social and political compromise, 3) causes of the lack of social and political compromise, 4) social and political challenges, 5) recommendations to librarians. It is noteworthy the remark that librarians should adopt ethical principles based on the reality, the materiality, and physical nature where libraries and users exist. They should embrace a critical, analitical, eskeptical and secular thought above all of their possible religious, mythological, or fantastical dogmatisms or of any other kind they may have as personal beliefs.
