- The open data initiatives have spread around the world since 2009 when the USA’s government promoted the Paradigm of Open Government and its values such as transparency, citizen participation and collaboration. Now, more than 78 countries, including South America, are members of the Open Government Partnership (OGP), an organization that embraced this movement to improve the relationship between government and people. In this context, open data accessibility is the key to reuse it and create public value. Libraries that belong to administration and receive public funds should be involved in this trend by publishing their own datasets. The objectives of this article are to examine open government data portals in South American countries that are members of OGP, establish the level of libraries dataset inclusion in those websites, analyze what kind of data is published, the type of data, the used format, and libraries responsibility in this process. The methodology combines quantitative and qualitative analysis. The results show that Brazil and Colombia share the leadership in publishing datasets about libraries in government portals. The main challenge is to heighten the library role in the open government paradigm.
