          Abstract

          El presente artículo analiza la adopción y los principales usos de la plataforma Facebook por parte de las bibliotecas de tres universidades en Argentina. Luego de una revisión bibliográfica sobre la temática, se exponen los procedimientos metodológicos empleados para identificar, en primer lugar, las instituciones que cuentan con esta herramienta de comunicación en la actualidad y, en segundo término, los usos que se hace de ella a partir de una serie de variables, entre las que caben consignar: el momento de inicio, los vínculos con otros medios de comunicación administrados por la institución (webs y redes sociales), el número de seguidores, el empleo de las imágenes, la frecuencia y el tipo de posteos y, por último, la cantidad y la calidad de los comentarios. En los resultados se trabaja la información recabada procurando un análisis cuantitativo y otro cualitativo en la construcción de un panorama global. En las conclusiones se destaca la paulatina adopción de la plataforma por parte de las bibliotecas universitarias, aunque con usos limitados respecto de su potencial. Se sugieren otras posibilidades.

          Translated abstract

          The present article analyses the adoption and the main uses of the Facebook platform by three library universities in Argentina. After a bibliographic review on the topic, the methodological procedures used are showed primarily to identify the institutions that have this communication tool at present and, secondly, its uses depending on several variables, amongst them the starting moment, the links with other mass media managed by the institution (webs and social networks), the number of followers, the use of images, the frequency and the type of posts, and, finally, the quantity and the quality of the comments. In the results the obtained information is used to try to make a quantitative and a qualitative analysis of the construction of a global outlook. The conclusion shows the gradual adoption of the platform by university libraries, although with limited uses in relation to its potential. Other possibilities are suggested.

          Checking Out Facebook.com: The Impact of a Digital Trend on Academic Libraries

          While the burgeoning trend in online social networks has gained much attention from the media, few studies in library science have yet to address the topic in depth. This article reports on a survey of 126 academic librarians concerning their perspectives toward Facebook.com, an online network for students. Findings suggest that librarians are overwhelmingly aware of the “Facebook phenomenon.” Those who are most enthusiastic about the potential of online social networking suggested ideas for using Facebook to promote library services and events. Few individuals reported problems or distractions as a result of patrons accessing Facebook in the library. When problems have arisen, strict regulation of access to the site seems unfavorable. While some librarians were excited about the possibilities of Facebook, the majority surveyed appeared to consider Facebook outside the purview of professional librarianship.
