Abstract
Una de las primeras batallas luchadas y ganadas desde el seno de la biblioteconomía fue cuando la LGTB Task Force, un grupo activista dentro de la American Library Associaction (ALA), consiguió que la Library of Congress cambiara en su lista de materias la forma en la que se nombraba a esa comunidad. Era el año 1972 y su acción tuvo como consecuencia que todas las bibliotecas de los Estados Unidos de América se adaptaran a esa realidad.
La LGTB Task Force planteó que una parte de la población se convertía en una minoría oprimida, afectada desde la infancia por una heteronormatividad y una homofobia institucionalizadas que provocaban exclusión.
Desde entonces a acá es constante el ir y volver de las bibliotecas en el estado español planteando qué hacer, cómo hacerlo y en qué medida es posible hacer algo.
Sería necesario dejarnos influir y que las personas LGTBIQ+, sus necesidades y deseos, afecten a cómo adquirimos, catalogamos, clasificamos, ordenamos y mostramos. También a cómo programamos las actividades de manera que contemplen esas necesidades y esas realidades diversas. Sin duda lo primero sería acudir a las asociaciones y colectivos que operan en nuestro entorno.
One of the first battles fought and won from within the librarianship was when the LGTB Task Force, an activist group within the American Library Association (ALA), got the Library of Congress to change the way that this community was named in her List of Subject Headings. It was the year 1972 and its action had as a consequence that all libraries in the United States of America adapted to that reality. The LGTB Task Force stated that a part of the population became an oppressed minority, affected since childhood by an institutionalized heteronormativity and homophobia that caused exclusion. From then until now it is constant to go back and forth from the libraries in the Spanish state, asking what to do, how to do it and to what extent it is possible to do something. It would be necessary to let ourselves be influenced and that LGTBIQ + people, their needs and desires, affect how we acquire, catalog, classify, order and show. Also to how we program the activities so that they contemplate those needs and those diverse realities. No doubt the first thing would be to go to the LGTBIQ+ associations and groups that operate in our environment.
