Socio-metamorphosis of the academic library
Socio-metamorphosis of the academic library

Summary/Abstract: This article is a contribution to the debate on the reform of the library and the new roles it must embrace. Our point of view is that this reform process could be greatly facilitated by creating more means of communication, both epistemic and practical, between sociology and disciplines surrounding librarianship. The main thesis we sustain in the pages of this paper is that the reconfiguration of the library, starting from the user, considered as the first focal point, cannot be accomplished without a very rigorous use of sociological instruments.
