Resumen

El objetivo de este estudio es examinar la percepción y la concienciación sobre la relevancia de adoptar la tecnología blockchain para la gestión de archivos digitales en el contexto de la quinta revolución industrial (5IR). Diez bibliotecarios de sistemas, seleccionados de entre cinco bibliotecas académicas distintas de la zona geopolítica del suroeste de Nigeria, constituyen la muestra del estudio. Se utilizó una encuesta abierta para recopilar datos para el estudio, que adoptó un enfoque estrictamente cualitativo. Según los resultados, los bibliotecarios del sistema son conscientes de la adopción de la tecnología blockchain y de sus beneficios para la gestión de archivos digitales en bibliotecas académicas. La adopción de la tecnología blockchain se percibe de forma positiva, ya que puede ayudar a los archivos digitales a recopilar, conservar y difundir información fidedigna en un entorno distribuido. También puede ayudar a los archivos digitales a crear un registro único y verificable, accesible para todos y digno de respeto. Sin embargo, la adopción de la tecnología blockchain se enfrenta a una serie de obstáculos, entre los que se incluyen la dificultad de instalación, la escalabilidad, los costes de mantenimiento, la integración, la protección de datos, la gobernanza, la adopción por parte de los usuarios, el consumo de energía, la viabilidad a largo plazo y cuestiones legales y éticas.
