Abstract

This ethnographic study explores the concept of Environmental Culture that the CRAI users of Santo Tomás University, Bucaramanga, have formed and intends to find their perceptions about the role of the Center in the promotion of the Environmental Culture. With the help of their knowledge, the study presents the potential that the CRAI has to assume its environmental role in the University. Part of the research findings reveal that, according to the users, the CRAI already carries out this work in the present; and for the future they proposed that the Center manage the creation of scenarios for disciplinary interaction through an agenda of cultural activities that cultivate environmental rationality; some users highlight the role of the CRAI as a promoter of reading and many others recognize it as a manager of environmental knowledge through the acquisition, promotion and dissemination of information. As a result, by combining the perceptions of users with the Center's experience, the Plan for the Promotion of Environmental Culture was formulated from the Resource Center for Learning and Research.
