El objetivo de este trabajo de investigación dar a conocer la historia de la humanidad se muestra ante nuestros ojos y nos posibilita el hecho de comenzar a entenderla y saber de ella en el preciso instante en que el primer dibujo hace su aparición en las pinturas rupestres de las Cuevas de Altamira (Santander, España).

El primer registro escrito que se conserva, en donde se pone de manifiesto la necesidad del conocimiento del dibujo por parte del técnico y el empleo de bosquejos previos a la ejecución de la obra, data del año 30 a.C., refiere a la obra ...

In the administration of academic knowledge, the trends towards which the Peruvian universities’ libraries are steering their ship to are identified. Starting from these, a reflection is made about the reason of being of each one of them and challenges are put forth that allow the libraries to evidence their contribution to the betterment of the teaching and learning processes, as well as the generation and diffusion of scientific knowledge. It begins from the hypothesis that establishes that Peruvian universities’ libraries are walking towards a Center of Resources for Learning and Investigation (CRLI) model, without stopping to offer the traditional services that they are normally assigned. To investigate this issue, the revision of Internet web pages is used as a resource, as well as the information published at QUELCAS, the web page for the Peruvian Libraries which corresp...
