Abstract

The reference guide for online database management and library catalogs at the School of Public Health – ESPOCH, in Riobamba, aims to contribute the training of skills and abilities in the use and management of bibliographic resources and documentaries available to the library, for the search and retrieval of information. In order to know the demand of the service, a field investigation was carried out by means of the application of surveys to the students from different careers at the faculty. The design of the reference guide will be a tool that can be used in academic research in the teaching – learning process at higher level. This service will offer a first-rate information tool such as the bibliographic databases and catalog through which users will be able to know the editorial production (books and articles) on any area of knowledge. The virtual library is available through the following option: http://bibliotecas.espoch.edu.ec/
