RENDON ROJAS, Miguel Ángel. The construction of values in the library science paradigm. Inf. cult. soc. [online]. 2005, n.12, pp.9-33. ISSN 1514-8327.

The problem of the recreation of the axiological element of the Library Science paradigm is studied. A phylosophical analysis of the construction of values from ideas taken from several thinkers is carried out, concluding that values are manifestations of the being and historical constructions of the subject´s ontological game within the community. In the informative/document field, some Latin American professional ethic codes are analyzed and it is stated that the librarian community has built its values following an anthropologic and ontologic construction process of selfdevelopment and selfrevealing of the being. That is where its objetivity, necessity and basis come from. It is an individual task to include it into an existential project and to feel a member of the librarian community.

Palabras clave : Axiology and Library Science; Values and Library Science; Professional ethic codes.
