The eighteenth century books from the collection of the old digital library of the Library University Seville are analyzed to locate the parts made with decorated papers, in order to classify and describe them according to the proposals of specialized literature. For this, the records included in the repository of the digital collection are recovered, the digital reproductions of the books are visualized, the parts with decorated papers are identified and described following the decorated papers classification model, previously elaborated, based on the research of Professor Carpallo Bautista. The model is made up of 6 techniques and their variants. Of the more than 6.700 records from the 18th century in the collection of the digital ancient collection, 511 include decorated papers in their bindings. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper shows how Plan S arises and works, the impact it can have on the subscriptions of the scientific and academic journals of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), as well as the first approaches of some publishers who see in this University and Latin America an opportunity to implement this new publication model. The way of publishing has changed due to the use of technologies that have brought with it the emergence of the Open Access (OA) movement derived from the Budapest Open Access initiative proposed by the Open Society Institute in 2001. Plan S is an initiative that arises in 2018 to accelerate the transition to Open Access, which will allow research results to have greater visibility and citation. Plan S includes transformative agreements that can be established between publishers and libraries, since it is intended to change the payment for subscription to journals for the Read and Publish model, where the publisher receives a payment to read and a payment to publish in a single contract, while under the Publish & Read model the editor only receives payment for the publication of articles by authors from an institution and the reading of journals is included at no additional cost, precisely at this point, the library plays a relevant role among the initiative and its academic community. Therefore, we agree that Plan S, the cOAlition S initiative and the transformative agreements are a great support for open access publishing, since they directly lower the costs of the Article Processing Charges (APC) and offer researchers various options for publish their findings or advances.

Due to the increase in neurodivergent students in higher education and the strengthening of the neurodiversity paradigm as a social movement, academic libraries must consider these users. The objective of the present study was to identify - through a systematic literature review - the actions that academic libraries have implemented in collections and services to address the need to include neurodivergence, focusing especially on diagnoses of dyslexia, attention deficit and hyperactivity, and autism spectrum disorder. A bibliographic search was conducted in the databases Web of Science, Scopus, Taylor & Francis, E-LIS, EBSCO, Jstor, Wiley, Network of Latin American Repositories, Web of Science, Scopus, SpringerLink y and Emerald. Out of the 799 initial results, 36 final papers were selected to review. It may be concluded that the actions carried out by academic libraries are diverse and heterogeneous, both in their conception and in their execution, and vary widely depending on the institution in which the library is framed. Services have been the elements most adapted to neurodivergent users, while collections are the least considered when taking inclusion actions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article examines the presence of students from the National University among the readers of the National Library during the first half of the 1870s. Although some contemporary observers considered the library to be inoperative, the institution was an active agent in the circulation of books in Bogotá: a space of student sociability and a place of university knowledge. Methodology: First, the paper examines the institutional relationship between the library and the university. Then, it characterizes the students and their readings at the library. Finally, it analyzes the recorded readings in relation to the programs of courses taught at the National University, the academic performance of students, the presentation of public speeches, and library attendance by students from regions other than Bogotá and its surroundings. Originality: In a scenario of educational reforms promoted by liberal governments during the 1870s, the National Library was described as “anachronistic” and “useless” by the agents themselves of the nineteenth century. These critical judgments have become a commonplace in historiography. The analysis of new documents, especially library reader records—an unpublished source—, enriches the field of reading appropriation and offers empirical elements that vindicate the institution’s centrality at a time of political and ideological struggles. Conclusions: The article demonstrates that young students at the National University used books from the public repository in academic spaces of professional training, which calls into question the idea of its inoperative character as well as the reasons that originated this liberal criticism.

The findings from a paper-based review of the joint participation of professors and librarians in the development of informational skills of university students are described in this paper. Likewise, the differences regarding how both of them recognize the concept of "informational competencies" are presented. For such research, a comprehensive review of the related literature was carried out and the retrieved documents published in relation to previously established topics, especially in Mexico and Latin America, were analyzed too. The literature highlights the collaboration professor-librarian and its impact in student's learning, nonetheless, one factor stands out in the results of the research, the papers published by faculty members reporting their experiences on the topic are minimum, librarians are the big contributors. This study is framed in a research carried out for obtaining a Ph.D. degree. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper addresses the issue of risk management in relation to a specific type of library, the university library. A bibliographic review is carried out from different fields and connects it with the reality of this kind of institutions. Also, an analysis of the interviews with the libraries' directors of the Universidad Nacional de La Plata, Argentina, is presented. These interviews included different axes such as policies and procedures, the interest of the authorities about the topic, staff and users training, measures adopted, risk factors, among others. The results show that although some specific implementations have been developed in this sense, there is still a pending account in issues related to the implementation of risk management in Universidad Nacional de La Plata university libraries.

The paper focus on a critical analysis of a discursive formation in Spanish academic libraries: social responsibility and sustainability. The concepts that make up the discourse are historically contextualized in order to clarify their origin and social affiliation. Although the enunciation of social responsibility and sustainability content is formulated ambiguously, its articulation as a discursive practice within the framework of the new corporate management university libraries leads us to infer bias in their rhetorical formulation. We consider that, from a fuzzy concept and its integration into technocratic practices, the discourse can be used as a tool for legitimizing the deregulation of public educational institutions.
