In this paper the characteristics of literacy outlined in the institutions of information, treatment cognitive functions specialty of Library and Information Sciences, carrying a critical thought from the informational education and participation in the Library “user training” to current models of “information literacy”. a philosophical reflection of information literacy in both directions is performed: from the point of view of users as mastering a set of skills or skills to obtain, evaluate, use and communicate information through conventional and electronic means and from the view of librarians responsible for the service and activities to achieve the teaching and learning of the concepts, procedures and attitudes concerning access and use of information. In enhancing the educational use of libraries, lifelong learning is vital as a teacher librarian in terms of transmitting knowledge for the development of information skills. Information literacy has become an essential and contradictory concept in terms of its meaning for a large part of the library community belonging to university libraries, specialized in general. The experience of information literacy and library extension activity is exposed from a specialized library to teenage audiences. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The quality of the services provided by a library, as well as of any kind of service, depends on several factors: The user requirements (as defined in ISO), prior knowledge about the service, computer systems reliability, availability of resources, personnel qualifications, etc. But when providing the service, the willingness of the staff is essential, because they will be well motivated if the working conditions are adequate. The intent of this research is to investigate how staff perceives the implementation of a Quality Management System (QMS). To that end, two university libraries -one public and one private- that implemented QMS in the city of Cordoba between 2005 and 2013 were studied. The research asks whether the implementation process meant an adequate or excessive effort; how staff assesses the maintainability of the system in operation; if there is noticeable improvement in the quality of service, in the internal work of each library; if in general it is viewed as positive. This paper first presents a bibliographic inquiry on related work and then the application of a survey of the people involved in the implementation in both libraries. It is concluded that employees perceive the application of the Quality Management System as positive even if there were difficulties during the implementation face. Management however has a different view. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The sustained development of publishing of scientific journals has opened a field of analysis and application of specific knowledge for librarians. Working cooperatively with publishers enriches both players since, while librarians especially know the standardization and dissemination of journals, the editors focus on academic tasks, thematic relevance, relationship with authors and reviewers, peer review. The parameters of regional and international edition have strengthened themselves in recent decades from interinstitutional agreements and the publishers' acceptance, using methods of management and editing and formal criteria of evaluation of academic production. So publishers need a specialized and institutional support to accompany the process of scientific and technical development to get their magazines inserted in main core of scientific journals in each discipline. This paper examines the case of the Coordinación del Área de Publicaciones, of the Biblioteca de la Facultad de Humanidades y Ciencias de la Educación de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata, that currently publishes over 20 journals.
