Weaving Libraries into the Web
The year 1997 found the members of the OCLC (Online Computer Library Center) cooperative in an expansive mood. More than 1,000 library leaders attended the OCLC President’s Luncheon in San Francisco, where they celebrated OCLC’s 30th anniversary. There were more than 25,000 libraries participating in the cooperative, including nearly 3,000 libraries in 62 countries outside the U.S., and the WorldCat database contained more than 37 million bibliographic records. Over the next ten years, the global digital library would indeed emerge, but in a form that few could have predicted. Against a backdrop of continuous technological change and the rapid growth of the Internet, the OCLC cooperative’s WorldCat database continued to grow and was a central theme of the past decade. As the chapters in this book show, OCLC’s chartered objectives of furthering access to the world’s information and reducing the rate of rising library costs continue to resonate among libraries and librarians, as the OCLC cooperative enters its fifth decade. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Library Administration.

Libros, librerías y bibliotecas
A través de los años se ha destacado la idea de que los libros fueron vehículos del cambio intelectual. Es así que los libros fungen como vehículos de difusión en el proceso de secularización, a la vez que indican la pérdida del monopolio de la religión en la cultura y en la construcción del conocimiento y en la formación de subjetividades secularizadas. En esta obra, Melchor Campos García hace un recorrido de la historia del libro en su llegada a puertos yucatecos, la oferta y demanda de títulos en el mercado de Mérida y Campeche a partir de la publicidad de los anunciantes particulares, casas mercantiles y oficinas de imprentas. Además, evalúa el acceso a la lectura en bibliotecas públicas y la posesión de libros de autores españoles y extranjeros entre las clases políticas, elites culturales y grupos dominantes de Mérida y Campeche, destacando la biblioteca del malogrado juez Pedro Elizalde y Escudero. De esta forma el autor logra caracterizar el proceso de secularización que acompaña a las lecturas en tierras yucatecas.
