ALFARO LOPEZ, Héctor Guillermo. The writing of reading. The testimonial discourse of readers. Investig. bibl [online]. 2006, vol.20, n.40, pp.187-202. ISSN 2448-8321.

Through testimonies on reading practice left as written record by readers, a scheme is formulated for a reader typology: factual and theoretical, as well as the categories of their testimonial discourse: fragmentary and organic. The purpose is that the scheme gives librarians a better understanding of reading practice and its individual and concrete dimensions, which simultaneously will allow them a humanistic vision of readers and their reading activity.
