Abstract

The problem of the recreation of the axiological element of the Library

Science paradigm is studied. A phylosophical analysis of the construction

of values from ideas taken from several thinkers is carried out, concluding that

values are manifestations of the being and historical constructions of the subject´s

ontological game within the community. In the informative/document field, some

Latin American professional ethic codes are analyzed and it is stated that the

librarian community has built its values following an anthropologic and ontologic construction process of selfdevelopment and selfrevealing of the being. That is

where its objetivity, necessity and basis come from. It is an individual task to

include it into an existential project and to feel a member of the librarian community.
