El impacto de los contenidos digitales en los espacios físicos: el proyecto Nubeteca y la recuperación de la biblioteca como lugar de encuentro

Abstract

Libraries have played a fundamental role in the dissemination of knowledge for centuries, assuming conservation, dissemination and revitalization functions among society. The emergence of digital publishing technologies, caused a change of model in the patterns of reader consumption and raised the debate of the usefulness of libraries.Given this perspective, the Nubeteca project arises, sponsored by the Germán Sánchez Ruipérez Foundation and the Badajoz Provincial Council, as a model of the physical and digital integration system, to turn libraries into the meeting point of two converging ecosystems. The objective of this article is the description of this research project, articulating a proposal for future development.
