VOUTSSAS LARA, Jennifer A.. Information Policies in National Libraries: Methodologies for a Comparative Study. Bibliographica [online]. 2024, vol.7, n.1, pp.265-292. Epub 14-Jul-2024. ISSN 2594-178X. https://doi.org/10.22201/iib.2594178xe.2024.1.482.
Along with technological advancements and information overproduction, information policies (IP) have become an essential instrument to arrange and monitor the information circulating within and outside of institutions. IP formation is based on legal and administrative agreements among member institutions. Particularly in public institutions, there is a series of external factors that are closely related to politics and cultural context, both of which influence the flux of information and its processes, such as use, management, processing, storage, disposal, etc. This research defines information policies and offers some distinctions and similarities with other associated terms. It also presents methodologies that allow the analysis of IP, and finally, the application of an analysis of IP values in national libraries from Latin America and the Caribbean, to compare the policies of these institutions.
