Meneses Tello, Felipe Bibliotecas públicas Mercadotecnia bibliotecaria Usuarios Clientes Public libraries Librarian marketing Users Clients Two ideas are compared and contrasted in the practice and theory of Library science: 1] libraries at the service of the public, and 2] libraries at the service of the clients. This duality is explained based on two key concepts found in the discipline’s literature: users and clients. It is a social and political dichotomy that places at risk both the concept of library public service and public library service. In this perspective, the loan of public property serving the public is contrasted with thebuying-selling of products and services to clients as an element of marketing. Se comparan dos ideas que se contraponen en la práctica y teoría de la bibliotecología: 1) las bibliotecas al servicio del público y 2) las bibliotecas al servicio del cliente. Esta dualidad se explica con base en dos conceptos esenciales que se hallan en la literatura referente a esa disciplina: usuarios y clientes. Es una dicotomía social y política que coloca en riesgo tanto la noción de servicio público de biblioteca como de servicio de biblioteca pública. En esta perspectiva, se contrasta el préstamo de bienes de dominio público para servir a la comunidad con la compraventa de productos y servicios para la clientela como un elemento del mercado.
