What is Latin American? Literary perspectives for reflecting on our identity
We published with Dr. Iram Evangelista, Dr. Erbey Mendoza Negrete and myself, an analysis of six Latin American identity traits from the perspective of four contemporary writers.
Abstract: This article presents certain Latin American traits from the works of four prestigious and contemporary Latin American writers: Gioconda Belli, Gonzalo Rojas, Augusto Monterroso y Juan José Arreola. The traits discussed include politics, the religious cult, the messianic vision, family, couples and the father figure. We argue that it is very important for people to understand their own culture and identity, to explore and not abandon the conversations about their countries’ literary works, as they reflect, report and critique them.

Users’ Voice for Public Libraries Strategic Planning Using Quality Function Deployment (QFD)
Abstract: Given that strategic planning has traditionally worked by listening only to the voice of managers, in addition to studying their environments and functional processes, this initiative considers it fundamental to listen to the voice of the user, considering that they are the ones who truly face the conditions of the quality of library services. Therefore, the results of a user study are taken as a reference, where the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) tool was applied in public libraries in the municipality of Chihuahua, Mexico, which allowed identifying that the planning Strategic of libraries in an integral administrative system, can be sustained in the management of the quality and in the table of indicators of performance, whose implantation could be developed undera cycle of design, control, improvement and innovation to reach harmonic and systematic objectives.
