Resumen:
An identity for the finite sum $sum_1^N rac{z^n}{q^n-r}$ is given. Related sums (or series) were studied  by Scherk, Clausen, Ramanujan, Shanks, Andrews and others. We use such identity  to give  new   formulas for $sum_1^infty rac{z^n}{q^n-r}$, the Riemann zeta function and Euler-Mascheroni constant. An  irrationality result is also proved.
