100 Years of the founding of UNAM: a brief history of its library system

Abstract

To mark the 100 years of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, this paper presents a tour of its history, from the Royal University of Mexico, its founding in 1910 and for different times, such as when it received its autonomy, the creation of the University City and beyond, to 2010. In this context, the brief history of the unam Library System is inserted. The creation of the General Directorate of Libraries marks a new development period for academic libraries that will be particularly highlighted by the work and initiatives of each of the directors who have been leading it, as well as its library staff.
