The Constitution, in Article 149.1.28 , gives the state exclusive jurisdiction over the libraries of ownership, without prejudice to their management by the Autonomous Communities.
For his part, Article 61.3 of Law 16/1985 of June 25, the English Historical Heritage provides that the State Administration promote communication and coordination of all existing state-owned libraries in the English territory . The law provided that for such purpose could be to collect all information considered appropriate, and inspect its operation and take measures to better achieve its objectives, in terms, if any, have management agreements with communities autonomous. These forecasts were moved
the Royal Decree 582/1989 of 19 May, approving the Regulation of Public Libraries and State Library System English.
The set of libraries belonging to the Central Government and public entities connected with or under the same reality are wide and enormous wealth. To reverse this wealth more effectively in society as a whole, the management of these libraries must be standardized and coordinated manner. These libraries should be preferably in the service of the institutions in which they are inserted, and should play the primary role as an instrument of support for the study, analysis and basis of decisions by the organs in which they are framed, as evidenced by Articles 15.1, 17.1 and 20.1 of the Law 6 / 1997 of 14 April, the organization and operation of the General Administration State.
But regardless of the designated primary role for these libraries in the Central Government, the fact is that some of the enormous amount of resources invested in its creation, provision and promotion must be passed on the whole society through greater and easier access by citizens to all the bibliographic and the valuable information they contain. To
support both functions, support for the organs where fall and service to society, is necessary for technical cooperation among the libraries of the Central Government. The information technology and communication will help achieve these objectives by making it easier to combine the interest of citizens to access a greater knowledge and the institutions they serve, to be able to have a tool for better performance the aims which they are responsible.
addition, these goals can only be achieved by promoting the development of these libraries through a proper and adequate provision of financial resources material and human. One of the objectives of this Royal Decree is precisely to promote the gradual increase in this budget by creating, for this, the coordination structures that allow efficient allocation and management of resources.
In view of all these considerations, Article 14.3 d) of the Law 10/2007 of June 22, reading, books and libraries , renews and extends the mandate of Article 61.3 of the Act 16/1985, which states that the Ministry of Culture has developed, among other things, the "normalization and coordination of the activities of libraries and related units that are owned General Administration of State and public bodies', establishing that, by regulation, "the mechanisms of such normalization." This royal decree giving effect to this mandate, in turn, constitutes the specific legal authorization.
Finally, Article 14.2 a) of that Law 10/2007 states that "the state-owned libraries are part of the English Library System." In this framework, all library systems dependent on the different public administrations and institutions cooperating with each other in order to achieve the development of libraries and to promote equal access to its services. Indeed, one of these systems is formed by the libraries belonging to the Central Government and its agencies.
