RUIZ GOMEZ, Janett  and  MIRELES CARDENAS, Celia. Informative profile of women attending Al-anon. Investig. bibl [online]. 2022, vol.36, n.91, pp.13-31.  Epub Nov 15, 2022. ISSN 2448-8321.  https://doi.org/10.22201/iibi.24488321xe.2022.91.58547.

This work presents an analysis of the informational profile of women who attended Al-anon Family Groups. It details the needs, behaviors and satisfaction of the information, as well as their conception of the library. Since the approach is exploratory and mixed, they used the survey instruments and a structured interview. Participated in it twenty-one women who attended the Al-anon group in Tuxtla Gutiérrez, Chiapas, and therefore it is not a probabilistic study. The informational needs were found to be: self-improvement (90%), acceptance (80%), happiness (71%), spirituality (71%) and grief (67%). The informative behavior is the use of printed books (86%), internet (66%), newscasts (42%) and television (42%). Regarding the satisfaction of the information, they are very pleased with the Al-anon literature. It was also found that 71% of them, do not attend the public library, so implementation of information literacy workshops aimed at older adults is recommended, as well as their incorporation of Al-anon literature to the library.

Keywords : Information Users; Satisfaction of Information; Informative Profile of Women.
