This paper intends to identify how organizacional development within digital libraries is done, with the purpose of improving the process and the service. The user’s attitudes and the variables working on this process are analyzed. The main user’s attitudes are resitance to change and strong motivation. The key process factors are the acceptance of the electronic formats, the availability of the system, and the way in which users employ them for the accomplishment of his academic activity. The research was carried out in the Area of Specialized Services of the Library of the Instituto de Investigaciones en Matemáticas Aplicadas y en Sistemas (IIMAS). In addition, some important points of organizacional development are evaluated: Is the user adapted easily to the changes? Are the necessities of information fulfilled by means of the use of the digital library? Digital library facilitates the obtaining of information. Supposing the answers are affirmative the questions are these: Do librarians and users accept the changes of structures? What motivates them or what stops them?Downloads
