| Sumario: | The present work explores the socio-technical dynamics linked to the automation of the libraries of the National University of Córdoba (UNC) and its Library and Information System (SISBI) from 1985 to 1996. The SISBI promoted the automation of library processes such as centralized purchasing of journals and the implementation of CDS/Isis (Microisis) software. It was also in charge of the administration of undergraduate scholarships for library science students, which in many cases contributed to the automation of library catalogs. During this decade, dynamics of technological innovation were generated in the field of libraries, which had consequences not only within the UNC, but also spread to other Argentine public universities through the National Network of University Libraries. Within these new cooperation networks, library coordination and cooperation teams, the Microisis software and the construction of union catalogs were promoted. The analysis of the socio-technical dynamics in the UNC libraries allows us to understand the accions that generated and sustained complex innovation processes as well as to analyze the factors that contributed to the erosion of some developments and their subsequent abandonment. |
