We present the results of a survey carried out in Spanish libraries. Its objective was to find out which systems of knowledge representation are used to normalize documents, and what changes have been noticed since the arrival of the digital age. The data compilation method was based on information requests. A questionnaire was sent out to the persons in charge of the various establishments that were polled. Among the results, we would highlight the low percentage of response that was obtained. On the one hand, we give an account of the data referring to the knowledge representation systems used at the various libraries. On the other hand, we present the aspects which, according to the respondents, have been affected by the advent of the digital age. The conclusions report noticeable changes related to the increasing use of digital documents. However, with regards to vocabulary control, most of the institutions show no evidence of any changes.
