Abstract
A partir de una exhaustiva revisión de la literatura, el estudio propone un modelo que
explica la relación de la biblioteca académica y la Universidad a partir de la Teoría de
Cambio, centrando el análisis de la contribución desde la perspectiva de valor social. Se
identifican 4 dimensiones de valor de la Universidad en la que la biblioteca tiene una
contribución clave: Enseñanza-Aprendizaje, Investigación de Calidad, Función Social y
Prestigio Institucional. Así mismo, el estudio identifica variables que la literatura señala
como relevantes para las dimensiones de valor y se recogen ejemplos de servicios de
la biblioteca que evidencian su contribución a las dimensiones de valor seleccionadas.
Usando el caso de una universidad privada peruana, el estudio concluye que, si bien el
marco analítico es útil para hacer una descripción cualitativa de la contribución, se
necesita un instrumento más simple que permita a la biblioteca realizar un
autodiagnóstico, recoger, ordenar y centralizar evidencias y luego facilitar un diálogo
informado con los actores clave. Recién entonces es posible utilizar el marco para
interpretar los hallazgos y formular narrativas y recoger historias de cambio significativo
que ilustren la contribución de la biblioteca académica a la universidad.
Based on an exhaustive literature review, the study proposes a model that explains the relationship between the academic library and the University based on the Theory of Change, focusing the analysis of the contribution from the perspective of social value. Four dimensions of University value in which the library has a key contribution are identified: Teaching-Learning, Quality Research, Social Function and Institutional Prestige. Likewise, the study identify variables that the literature identified as relevant for these value dimensions and collect examples of library services that demonstrate library contribution to the selected university value dimensions. Using the case of a Peruvian private university, the study concludes that, although the analytical framework is useful to make a qualitative description of the contribution, a simpler instrument is needed that allows the library to perform a self-diagnosis, collect, organize and centralize evidence and then facilitate an informed dialogue with key actors. Only then is it possible to use the framework to interpret the findings, formulate narratives, and collect stories of significant change that illustrate the contribution of the academic library to the university.
