| Sumario: | This article analyses the meanings attributed to technology between 1940 and 1960 by librarians. Based on a set of documents, the meanings of technique and technology are studied in relation to: a) the procedures for representing information and the power to coordinate work; b) equipment, machinery and the different documentary supports; c) the idea of effective and expected progress; d) the apprehensions and fears of the authors. The aim is to understand the meanings expressed under these four aspects, and to relate them to the culture of the era in which they emerged. Among other conclusions, it is observed that the librarians associated the technique with the possibilities of accessing a promising future for the profession.
