First, we present the problems that arise in the professional practice and generate us dilemmas: The tension between the right of access to information and intellectual property; our imaginary on open access and the way in which we disseminate it into the academic community, facing the rules of the scientific field that researchers must follow to progress in their careers; and the relationship with commercial providers in front of our convictions about the way forward to achieve the democratization of access to scientific knowledge. After the debate on these dilemmas, where we brought to the dialogue our own experiences and those of colleagues, as well as those found in the consulted literature, we discuss some aspects to rethink our role in the academy, putting the focus of attention on our social function. En este ensayo nos proponemos reflexionar acerca del rol del bibliotecario universitario como agente difusor y proveedor de acceso a la información científica en Argentina. Para ello, exponemos una serie de problemáticas que se plantean en la práctica profesional y que nos generan dilemas: la tensión entre el derecho de acceso a la información y la propiedad intelectual; nuestro imaginario sobre el acceso abierto y la forma en que lo difundimos ante la comunidad académica, frente a las reglas del campo científico que deben seguir los investigadores para progresar en sus carreras; y la vinculación con los proveedores comerciales frente a nuestras convicciones acerca del camino a seguir para alcanzar la democratización del acceso al conocimiento científico. Luego de los planteos y discusiones sobre estos dilemas, trayendo al diálogo experiencias propias y de colegas, así como halladas en la literatura consultada, finalizamos recapitulando algunos aspectos para repensar nuestro rol en la academia, poniendo el foco de atención en nuestra función social.
