- This thesis presents the history of the Central Library of San Marcos University between the years 1923 and 1966. This period was chosen because 1923 is an important year in the history of the library, when under the direction of Pedro S. Zulen there is a significant improvement in services made to the public. Continuing forward 43 years, the history of the library is presented until the catastrophic earthquake of Oct.1966. This teluric movement required the transfer of students and teachers from the main building of the University (At that time in the Casona del Parque Universitario) to the new recently constructed "University City". Unfortunately, after the relocation the Library is unable to continue offering services because there was no physical space for it in the new campus. Ongoing development of the University library was then seriously limited by external and internal factors. The main external factor was the lack of autonomy of the university with regards to the ever changing government. In this sense, each 'golpe de estado' (coup), meant the resignation of the rector and in turn, the disruption of the institutional politics by a new administration. As to the internal factors, the Library lacked professional employees- librarians - with leadership abilities (with exceptions under the direction of Pedro Zulen and Jorge Basadre) and the absence of institutional support (including budget, salaries, physical space). The main conclusion that can be drawn is that the Central Library languished with a series of unfinished projects, resulting from the adverse institutional factors. Far from its users and in an urban environment deteriorating daily, the institution lost its role of central axis of librarian development of the university.
