URIBE TIRADO, Alejandro. Los bibliotecólogos colombianos y la adquisición de competencias: Énfasis y tendencias en la actual formación en Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación. Rev. Interam. Bibliot [online]. 2007, vol.30, n.1, pp.135-166. ISSN 0120-0976.

This paper discusses ideas and proposals relating to the knowledge, skills, and attitudes (competencies) in technology as an aid to the information and management training required of Colombian librarians in light of the challenges of today’s society, and how our universities can integrate technology into their undergraduate, postgraduate, and continuing education. Three fields of action are considered in the area of information and knowledge management: (1) organizations that facilitate access to information and knowledge supported in TIC (modern information units, or U.I.); (2) organizations in the information sector in which the TICs are both a product and a medium of operation, and (3) organizations of whatever sector that need to manage information and knowledge supported in TIC. Two key library functions are related to such management: (1) organization, standardization, and transfer, and (2) user education (public, clients, and/or readers), whether internal, mixed, or external— in any of these three fields of action mentioned above

Keywords : Technology skills; Information skills; Professional competences; Technical competences; Information management; Knowledge management; Library curricula; Library education.
