A partir de un conjunto de documentos, se estudian los sentidos de la técnica y la tecnología en relación con: a) los procedimientos de representación de la información y el poder de coordinación del trabajo bibliotecario; b) la aparatología, lo maquinal y los diferentes soportes documentales; c) la idea de progreso efectivo y esperable; d) las dudas y los temores de los autores del campo. El objetivo que se plantea es comprender los significados que se expresan bajo estos cuatro aspectos, y relacionarlos con la cultura de época que los vio aparecer. Entre otras conclusiones, se observa que los y las bibliotecarias asociaron la técnica con las posibilidades de acceder a un futuro promisorio para la profesión.  ARK CAICYT: https://id.caicyt.gov.ar/ark:/s18511740/nf51jwyn5   Universidad de Buenos Aires, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras 2025-06-08 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf text/html http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/16412 10.34096/ics.i52.16412 Información, cultura y sociedad; Núm. 52 (2025): Junio; 35-52 Información, cultura y sociedad; No 52 (2025): Junio; 35-52 1851-1740 1514-8327 spa http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/16412/14744 http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/16412/14745 Derechos de autor 2025 Javier Planas https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0
