To obtain results, methods were applied at the theoretical and empirical levels, fundamentally the documentary analysis. He highlighted the technique of social network analysis for the visualization of results. As main results, the associations of library professionals in Cuba from 1936 to te presenten were described. The principles of the Cuban Association of Librarians were established, an organization that currently brings together professionals in the sector.
