CANOSA, Daniel. DOCUMENTAL PRODUCTION CIRCUIT FOR INDIGENOUS LIBRARIES: A WORK EXPERIENCE AT “QOMLLALAQPI LIBRARY”. Rev. Fuent. Cong. [online]. 2012, vol.6, n.19, pp. 5-16. ISSN 1997-4485.

Through this article we are trying to share out a work experience carried out at one indigenous library called “Qomllalaqpi Noyec Tounaxaqui (Sons of people) Library”, popularly known as “memory house” and located at Derqui Town, Province of Buenos Aires, Argentina. By means of this work, we are studying the production of any document real representative of the community culture and generated by an interdisciplinary work performed by some persons called “living books” and by librarians with some complementary contributions of anthropologists, linguists, teachers, ethnomusicologists and researchers. We are also analyzing, with a critical thought, different ways for an introduction to this matter, being always respectful of relevant aspects like ancestral world views, endogenous thought systems, oral knowledge transmission, bilingualism, memory and identity, all elements that give raise to oral archives formation. Thematic interviews to the community members, even including journalistic methods, could be used by the librarian researcher. A works description of the production, edition and spreading of documentary knowledge have been considered in this article. Finally, we can conclude that audio collections are very real representative documents of the indigenous genuine heritage, highlighting the social role of librarians into the documentary production process.
