The Origin of Yölé
Knowledge in motion
Knowledge in motion
Yölé is a word of Cabécar origin, one of Costa Rica’s living Indigenous languages, associated with the meaning of “book” or source of knowledge. As such, it evokes the object that contains and transmits knowledge, memory, and learning over time.
In the context of the Digital Library of the College of Civil Engineers, Yölé represents much more than a book in its traditional sense. It is a gateway to technical information and knowledge, bringing together design standards, specialized documents, research, and educational resources for the benefit of the professional community.
Yölé symbolizes organized and reliable access to information that supports the practice of civil engineering, facilitating consultation, continuous learning, and informed decision-making. In essence, it is a space where knowledge is preserved, shared, and transformed into a tool for building a better future.
