Users from libraries of Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos

Abstract

Specialized literature defines the user as: "the individual who needs information to carry out the activities". This concept is related to the demand for information, which is defined as "the express formulation of a desire, or in other words, what an individual requests from a Documentation Centre and/or Library. Today, research libraries are already sharing some elements related to their objectives with other important partners on campus: the computer and telecommunications centres that maintain the university's circulatory system and are the key providers of infrastructure and technological support.
