Information dissemination: the library informs the community about the documentation received through:
Difusión de información: La Biblioteca informa a la comunidad, acerca de la documentación recibida mediante:
- Information Alert: massive dissemination of recently acquired bibliographic material, through traditional means such as bulletins, newspapers, photocopies, exhibition of the material and tables of contents; and by means of computer technologies such as the website or e-mail.
- Selective Dissemination of Information (D.S.I.): a program aimed at informing researchers and people involved in special projects about new bibliographic material received on topics of their interest. The library selects, evaluates, retrieves and organizes the information for each user, according to a previously established profile.
