    El carácter emprendedor y social en la profesión bibliotecaria
    (2007) Gómez-Hernández, José-Antonio; Información y Documentación
    Some recent examples of initiatives of libraries and librarians are described to explain how the professional role of librarians is changing in relation with the changing social context. This change would be consequence of the necessity to justify themselves through the social utility of its services, as well as to improve their image in society and to promote their libraries, in a context of the large range of informative, educative and cultural offers available.

    La función educativa de bibliotecas y bibliotecarios en el contexto de las tecnologías participativas de la web social
    (Instituto de Ciência da Informação da UFBA, 2008) Gómez-Hernández, José-Antonio; Información y Documentación
    We describe the possibilities of some cooperative tools of Web 2.0 for improving the educational role and function of libraries and librarian. In particular, blogs, wikis and social networks are considered ways to produce and publish information that contribute to acquire information literacy. We also explain how Web 2.0 modifies some practices and principles of librarianship, and because of these changes we consider that librarian should be educator in the Internet context, using a new Spanish word, entrenauta, with which we synthesized this proposed role.

    Wikipedias y biblioteca pública. Participar en la información local digital a través de localpedias
    (EPI SCP, Barcelona, Spain, 2011-05) Gómez-Hernández, José-Antonio; Saorín, Tomás; Información y Documentación
    This paper justifies participation by public libraries in designing and publishing in localpedias as a way to promote collaboration in the creation of local content. For this purpose, the “localpedia” concept is explained and some of the main Spanish localpedia experiences described. Finally, some difficulties in consolidating this way of creating and sharing local knowledge are discussed.
