Resumen

Las bibliotecas universitarias emplean apps para la difusión de sus colecciones y servicios. La Universidad de Salamanca (USAL) lanzó en 2011 la primera aplicación de bibliotecas en el ámbito hispanohablante. Se analizan los datos de uso de la app BiblioUSAL (2011-2015) y se comparan con los datos de acceso a la versión móvil de su sitio web. El estudio determina la preferencia del usuario por las versiones web adaptadas y la necesidad de ofrecer apps de nueva generación que aporten servicios no disponibles en la web.
