BABINI, Dominique; GONZALEZ, Jessica; LOPEZ, Fernando y MEDICI, Flavia. Social Construction of Institutional repositories: The case of a Latin America and the Caribbean repository. Inf. cult. soc. [online]. 2010, n.23, pp.63-90. ISSN 1851-1740.
This article presents an analysis of institutional repositories -digital libraries and archives with collections of institutional academic and scientific output- from the "social construction of technology" perspective, which provides information on the relevant social groups whose needs must be taken into consideration when the design and implementation of institutional repositories takes place. The case of the Latin America and the Caribbean Social Science Council (CLACSO) 10 year old institutional repository is introduced from this perspective. A descripton of social groups involved in this case, mainly librarians, journal editors, academic and publishing sections of teaching and research institutions is included.
