ABSTRACT
The IPK is an institution with a high scientific level, which develops teaching of excellence in doctorates, masters, residences and other trainings related to tropical diseases, their diagnosis and treatment. The library, a reference in this branch of medicine, has a documentary collection that is outdated, the documents that are part of its collection are old editions. It is necessary to establish a strategy for updating and managing information. An information search was carried out on the internet to have a vision on the tools and software used for the development of digital libraries. Among the tools consulted and tested, the Caliber e-book library manager was selected as the free software that best suited our needs. The literature was managed, readjusted and organized in digital format with the aim of establishing a strategy for updating information, in order to meet the needs of users.REFERENCES
