Terra, Ana LúciaRodríguez García, Ariel Alejandro2015-04-232015-04-232013978-972-36-1339-1http://hdl.handle.net/10400.22/5820This paper addresses the issue of restructuring the information professional in the global economy. This restructuring is justified by a tripartite explanation: the redesign understood as innovation and disciplinary change, the reorganization of institutions conditioned by the development of information technology and economic deflation interpreted as eliminating jobs. To understand this restructuring scenario multigenerational work contexts information services are also addressed. These work contexts represent a search for understanding and to overcome common referential differences, by baby boomer practitioners and digital natives. The issue of tension and challenge between the specific technical skills and flexibility to adapt to ever-changing organizations is another topic for reflection and serves to point out new paths for the restructuring of the information professional.This paper addresses the issue of restructuring the information professional in the global economy.
