Abstract
LABORDA BARRIOS, Yalily and ROMERO MORALES, Yosimary. Historical-cultural notes on library extensions in health libraries. Rev Hum Med [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.2, pp. 405-416. ISSN 1727-8120.
The Library Extension Service is the appropriate method a library has to expand into the community in a way that users who don’t visit it use its services and documents. However, just a few people know its history and development through time. A bibliographic review is shown along with the current state of this service. The elements included in it cover regular publications, web sites and electronic journals published from the XVIII century to the present time. The paper expects to provide a historical approach to the library extension service in libraries.
