Technological scenarios for the new normality in latin american academic libraries (Survey Results)

The study began by defining the research question: How did information technologies impact Latin American academic libraries during the period of social isolation? The tool consists of questions related to technologies, services, users, training of librarians, and finally, questions about their future perspectives. QuestionPro was chosen as the software for information processing. After a final review of the instrument, a pilot test was carried out resulting in fifteen questionnaires that are being completed by librarians from seven Latin American countries. After asking and developing some more detailed questions, a final version was structured and distributed to a community of librarians who participated in a web seminar called "From Automation to Discovery": Information Technologies in the Academic Library" by the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México A total of 1638 participants began the survey of which 1144 were able to complete it. Of these, only the information of 749 participants who are within the category of university academic libraries was analyzed.本研究首先明确了研究问题：社会隔离时期，信息技术对拉丁美洲学术图书馆产生了何种影响？调研工具涵盖与技术、服务、用户群体、图书馆员培训相关的问题，以及关于未来发展展望的相关问题。本次研究选用QuestionPro作为信息处理软件。在对调研工具完成终稿审核后，开展了预测试，共回收15份由7个拉丁美洲国家图书馆员填写的有效问卷。后续补充设计若干细化问题后，形成最终版调研工具，并分发至参与由墨西哥国立自治大学（Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México）举办的主题为“从自动化到发现：学术图书馆中的信息技术”网络研讨会的图书馆员社群。本次调研共有1638名参与者启动问卷填写，其中1144人完成全部问卷内容。在完成问卷的参与者中，仅对隶属于大学学术图书馆类别的749名参与者的信息展开了分析。
