FRIAS GUZMAN, Maylín. Doctor Jorge Aguayo y de Castro: A pioneer of the modern library in Cuba . ACIMED [online]. 2006, vol.14, n.1. ISSN 1024-9435.

The ideas of this eminent professor and precursor of the librarian movement gestated in Cuba in the first half of the 20th century, Jorge Aguayo y de Castro, are exposed.  The image he had of the library context in which he lived is presented, and a part of our library tradition, as well as the position assumed by our ancestors at that time are broadly illustrated. The analysis is inserted in the historical, social, and library development worldwide. .
