This work was carried out based on the type of quantitative research with application of
questionnaires for the execution of surveys to the heads and managers of the informational
area and archive of fifteen institutions located in the Portoviejo parish of the same city. The
respective collection of theoretical data referring to conceptualizations that cover topics such as
librarianship, the librarian's performance in technical areas and as information manager, file,
types and computer systems was performed. This work was carried out in order to know the
professional role played by those in charge of archiving and information of the institutions and to
specify the way in which files are handled by the employees in charge of this area; In this
section we found results that reveal that none of the institutions visited have hired professional
staff in the branch of librarianship and archives, however in these jobs there are people who
have other professional titles.
