La transformación de espacios bibliotecarios bajo el paradigma de la digitalización

With the title La transformación de espacios librtecarios bajo el paradigma de la digitalización (The transformation of library spaces under the paradigm of digitalization), this paper's main objective is to establish four transversal aspects to be taken into account in any transformation and modification of the physical spaces of libraries, of any type of library. The paper starts from the observation of the paradox that the greater the digitization, and therefore the less need for physical spaces, the opposite is happening: namely, that the physical spaces of libraries are used more and more. Secondly, three theories are presented (some might even seem like a future trend) about the use and compartmentalization of physical library spaces. Finally, thirdly, these four transversal and global aspects are raised, which should always be kept in mind when facing a spatial transformation in any library; these points would be: light, comfort, circulation and people.
