Abstract

The impact of the suppliers authorized by the Directorate General of libraries (DGB) of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) in the development of collections of the libraries of the subsystem of Humanities at the University is analysed through direct observation and the application of questionnaires both to the acquisition staff and the suppliers authorized by the DGB. Acquisitions managers claim the program has been very successful, but also that more than half of the list of providers do not cover the geographic area of study of the research projects carried out by the community of users, and occasionally the have to seek their materials outside this list. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to the list of providers that work with editorials that publish in the field of Humanities, so that more countries in Latin America are covered. It is recommended that each subsystem library commission considers a meeting with the DGB-authorized bibliographic providers to explain them the research projects of their users and reinforce the knowledge they have of the specialty of each library.
