- After providing an overall context of higher education in Mexico we present an overview of the automation of academic libraries in five states of the Mexican Republic, particularly as they relate to the concept of a Integrated Library Systems – ILS. Through the use of a questionnaire and observation we give an account of the systems used, migration processes, use times, methods of acquisition, modules implemented, levels of knowledge and operation, and degree of satisfaction. We found that most libraries have a ILS, the most commonly used being SIABUC, ALEPH and LOGICAT. However, it appears that the degree of implementation is low, mainly due to a lack of personnel training. In many instances only a limited level of automation was achieved because of the high cost of both the system and its maintenance. Furthermore, very few libraries had installed an open source, which indicates ignorance about such alternatives.
