English abstract
Thanks to current national investigations, research applied to libraries in Italy has an unprecedented amount of data from which are emerging new complex issues and some worrying contradictions. In this framework lies the need to design structured in-depth investigations using innovative interpretative tools. Following an interdisciplinary approach, the article therefore proposes a methodological reflection on the opportunities offered by the integration between geographical knowledge and librarianship. Starting from the comparison between the main application purposes of GIS technology (Geographic Information System) adopted so far, both nationally and internationally, with some new experiments conducted in recent years, the contribution intends to present the potential of a method geographical gis-based for the interpretation of the relationships that link libraries to their context of action.
Italian abstract
Grazie alle attuali indagini a carattere nazionale, la ricerca applicata alle biblioteche in Italia dispone di un’inedita quantità di dati da cui stanno emergendo nuove complesse questioni e alcune preoccupanti contraddizioni. In questo scenario si colloca l’esigenza di progettare indagini di approfondimento strutturate ricorrendo a strumenti interpretativi innovativi. Seguendo un approccio interdisciplinare, l’articolo propone pertanto una riflessione metodologica sulle opportunità offerte dall’integrazione tra il sapere geografico e la biblioteconomia. A partire dal confronto tra i principali scopi applicativi della tecnologia GIS (Geographic Information System) adottati finora, sia in ambito nazionale che internazionale, con alcune nuove sperimentazioni condotte negli ultimi anni, il contributo intende presentare le potenzialità di un metodo geografico gis-based per l’interpretazione delle relazioni che legano le biblioteche al proprio contesto d’azione.
