María Teresa Chávez Campomanes (1 August 1890, Puebla de los Ángeles, Mexico - 24 February 1981) was a Mexican librarian and library science educator.
She was named Teacher Emeritus of the Secretariat of Education and is known as one of the most respected and influential women of México, partially because of the cataloging tools she created.
Chávez continued her education doing postgraduate work in Detroit, Michigan and Columbia, focusing on library science.
[3] In 1953, Chávez received her doctorate in Literature after writing her thesis on books that later became classics at the National University of Mexico.
She later returned to México and studied Spanish literature at the National University in the department of Philosophy and Letters.
