Between July and August 2012 a survey was sent via email to graduates who had graduated between 1999 and 2011. Information was sought about the skills and competencies they use every day in their jobs, their opinion about their potencial performance in non-traditional jobs, and their perception of the social image of the librarian. It was observed that even when respondents have a positive impression on their potential as information professionals, most work in libraries, information centers and archives, performing tasks related to pragmatic and historical aspects of their profession. El artículo presenta los resultados de una investigación orientada a describir cuáles son las principales tendencias en materia de inserción laboral de los bibliotecólogos egresados de la Licenciatura en Bibliotecología y Ciencia de la Información de la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad de Buenos Aires. Entre los meses de julio y agosto de 2012 se envió una encuesta, vía correo electrónico, a licenciados que habían egresado entre 1999 y 2011. Se recabó información acerca de las habilidades y competencias profesionales que utilizan a diario en sus trabajos, la opinión de los mismos acerca de su potencial desempeño en puestos no tradicionales de gestión de la información, y su percepción de la imagen social del bibliotecario. Se observó que, aún cuando los encuestados tienen una impresión positiva acerca de su potencial como profesionales de la información, la mayoría trabaja en bibliotecas, centros de información y archivos, realizando tareas vinculadas a aspectos pragmáticos e históricos de la profesión. application/pdf https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/675 10.34096/ics.i29.675 spa Universidad de Buenos Aires, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/675/653 Información, cultura y sociedad; No. 29 (2013); 49-76 Información, cultura y sociedad; Núm. 29 (2013); 49-76 1851-1740 1514-8327 Bibliotecología y Ciencia de la Información Profesionales de la información Inserción laboral Bibliotecarios Competencias profesionales Library and Information Science Information professional Work placement Librarians Professional skill The librarian as an Information Professional: Employment Horizons Beyond the Library El bibliotecario como profesional de la información: Horizontes laborales más allá de la biblioteca info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=biblioinfo&d=675_oai
