Triangulating the research resulted in recommendations based on the analysis, which will allow for a better approach. Inclusion criteria were used based on a critical evaluation. Results and Discussion: Called to ensure the quality of their services, specific contexts are still called to the application of the ISO 90001 standard. Knowledge management needs to be improved in all key sectors of library services. Other perspectives are pointed out from information management, with open data, the benefits and impact of implementing new technologies in the library environment from the representation of users, staff, and the public, assuming challenges and challenges. Conclusion: In libraries, processes are mainstreamed with the technological input and expertise provided by knowledge and the commitment to training information professionals.
