La biblioteca como escaparate: una experiencia de colaboración entre una biblioteca universitaria y una librería de facultad

We want to show the relation between the selection and dissemination of a book, when performed by the university library, and its usage. With this aim, we have gone beyond the usual parameter of the number of borrowings and we have taken account of its impact in facebook and twitter and the book sales in the faculty’s bookshop. We intend to highlight the librarian’s role as an agent specialized in the dissemination of printed materials within an information flow circuit that encompasses also the traditional paper book. Our work should open new ways for cooperation between the library and the bookshops in the university range
