Libraries are educational spaces in which it is important to have novel information resources that invite users to delve into them, and consult physical learning resources in an efficient, novel and attractive way. New technologies have entered into different educational environments, which means that Augmented Reality allows the creation of new and attractive digital search environments that help the location of bibliographic material. The RA facilitates this geolocation, since it shows through a digital content the three-dimensional space of the environment, highlighting the categories and classifications of the physical references that are desired to consult, so that the user can locate them quickly and consequently. They can be directed in a relatively short time to the exact location in which the references are.
