Abstract
The dynamic advancement of technological development and the importance of information and knowledge in modern-day society has determined that the principal competitive advantage of an organization is the capacity to adequately manage these resources. The abilities and knowledge that workers are capable of developing are transformed into a resource that modern organizations value in a growing way. Educational organizations, especially Universities, must take advantage of their competitive resources. That is to say, they must know how to make intensive use of their knowledge in order to improve: the process of formation and learning of their students, the generation of new knowledge produced by research and the transference of said knowledge by means of publication and technical assistance. The processes of management of knowledge, organizational learning and information are intimately linked. Therefore, significant improvements can only be obtained in organizations if synergies are generated between each one of these processes. The Ágora Model presented in this article, is about Universities’ Library Systems considered as places of knowledge gathering, documentation centers and active agents in the formation of abilities in respect to the use and transference of information necessary to generate new learning and knowledge. The Ágora Model characterize the management of information, knowledge and organizational learning in a Universities’ Libraries’ System, analysing its relationship and the way that these processes differ depending on variables such as department membership, the characteristics of users that rely on them, etc.
