¿Enseñamos "acceso abierto"? Análisis de los contenidos de las asignaturas de las carreras de Bibliotecología y Ciencia de la Información de la Universidad Nacional de La Plata (2004-2012)

In this paper, we analyze the syllabi for careers of Library and Information Science from the National University of La Plata, from 2004 until the second half of 2012, in order to detect the presence of contents that are directly or indirectly related to the Open Access movement (AA). The working hypothesis is that the development of two research projects around the theme has influenced his inclusion in the curriculum through the transfer of teachers who make up the team. To test this idea, we define and measure a set of indicators from the contents found in the 117 programs. We found that: a) 29.7% of the teachers of the Department participate/participated in projects linked to AA; b) 44% of the analyzed programs have directly or indirectly related content; c) 56.5% of the subjects include topics AA d) 84.6% of the subjects are/were treated by members of the research team. We conclude that: there transfer and it is important to repeat the study in other universities to see if this is due to the intervention group or a regional-global trend. Finally, we suggest aspects to be included in the programs of racing Library to promote open access to scientific knowledge.
