ARELLANO RODRIGUEZ, J. Alberto  y  MIRELES CARDENAS, Celia. Challenges of Public University Libraries in Mexico. Reflections for the Future. Rev. Interam. Bibliot [online]. 2018, vol.41, n.2, pp.195-203. ISSN 0120-0976.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.rib.v41n2a07.

In a context marked by the accelerated technological development and by the constant generation, renewal and obsolescence of knowledge, library institutions require the permanent analysis of their environment to carry out their current and future functions in a relevant and quality manner. Based on researches carried out by the Consejo Nacional para Asuntos Bibliotecarios A. C. [National Council for Library Affairs A. C.] (CONPAB - IES) 2015, and on the analysis of current literature that refers to the future of the university library in the world, this article analyzes the situation and prospective of the library systems affiliated with the Council, in order to provide a model of the educational, technological, locative and economic changes that libraries have gone through and, therefore, to induce reflection for the implementation of strategies that allow the library institution to position itself effectively in its current and future environment.

Palabras clave : University libraries; libraries of higher education institutions; university libraries in Mexico.
