Library catalogs in any medium have always been the means par excellence of accessibility to the collection of said institutions and a possible way for the necessary control of authorities determined by the scientific-technical production of their authors, currently favored by the systems of search and retrieval of information provided by new technologies. This work presents solutions to the normalization problems that currently have some entries in the Library “Prof. Dr. José Arce ”from the School of Dentistry, University of Buenos Aires (hereinafter, UBA) in some personal names of dental authors, focusing more precisely on the sources of information necessary and used to help detect their correct normalization within the control of authorities, in order to boost technical services in Argentine libraries specialized in the subject and contribute to the necessary National Bibliographic Control through cooperation.

This paper reviews the study and use of the Wikipedia category system in the scientific research, adopting a systematic literature review approach, but considering the qualitative review of the content of a set of selected papers. Several types of work are identified, depending on the intrinsic study of the category system, or its use as a tool for the analysis of other documentary corpus other than Wikipedia. We conclude that the system of categories offers a valid classification scheme for different approaches and studies on the organization of knowledge in multiple contexts.

At the end of the 19th century, a small number of German-speaking Central European researchers began to show great interest in the study of Arab paper. Their investigations remain little known in Spain and Portugal because they are difficult to consult and because many have not been translated. The work of professors Julius Wiesner and Joseph von Karabacek, who published their discoveries according to analytic methods, stands out from among these studies. The results of their research constitute the fundamental pillar of scholarship in this field. The strategic geographical position of the Iberian Peninsula and the presence of Islam on her soil during the Middle Ages turned Iberia into a key reception point for papermaking techniques and ultimately into a center of production for this material, which was essential to the transmission of knowledge of Arab cultures to Medieval Europe. Hence our interest in expanding the knowledge of the scientific work of these two researchers in our language.

The aim of this paper is to provide a general framework about information sources on job vacancies for information managers. That is, a basic guide to an active and efficient job searches. As a final product, both description and classification of these resources, and some recommendations for their use are provided. To do this, different names of the information professional were analyzed. Then, by using these names, the Google search engine and previous knowledge, a number of online resources for searching job opportunities in the field of information and documentation were also analyzed and described. Some of them are well known by specialist workers as part of their educational and professional experience. After that, these resources were classified using various criteria, which facilitated a better understanding of them. By observing these resources, job offers, as well as how they were published on Internet, some observations regarding the operation and characteristics of the analyzed resources were shown. Finally, some recommendations on the use of these resources, which give preference to certain resources, notifications and alerts by e-mail, were shown. In this way, some tasks on job search could be automated, avoiding the overload of work and saving time for job seekers, gaining in efficiency.

The objective of the OpenGLAM movement is the publication, under free licenses, of digitized cultural material. Cultural institutions (museums, libraries and archives) are key actors for the access and dissemination of cultural heritage. This text explains the foundations, planning and activities carried out in the GLAMing Madrid project, in which Wikimedia Spain participated, together with the National Archaeological Museum, the Museum of Romanticism and the Costume Museum. Finally, the results obtained and the good practices identified are indicated.

The emergence of Google Scholar in 2004 revolutioned both the search process academic information and the scientific assessment (especially in the areas of Social sciences and Humanities) thanks to its huge database based on gathering any online academic document, despite the errors and inaccuracies in the correct citation assignment. This paper presents the development of different metric information products made from Google Scholar (H Index Scholar, Publishers Scholar Metrics, Journal Scholar Metrics, and the Spanish Librarianship according to Google Scholar Citations) in order to show the potential and usefulness of this database to be used by the different actors involved in the creation, dissemination and evaluation of scientific activity.

The International Standard Bibliographic Description (ISBD) area 0 was first included in the ISBD Consolidated Edition published in July 2011, replacing the General Material Designation. This paper describes briefly the background of area 0 and the reasons that led to its creation. Also, it details the structure, elements and usage examples, and analyses its compatibility with MARC format, with RDA vocabularies and with FRBR conceptual model. Finally, in relation to the creation of this new area and its application to the current variety of existing bibliographic resources, this paper reflects about the change of paradigm in cataloging and the challenges in teaching cataloging of non-book bibliographic materials.

One of the challenges of the BMC (Municipal Libraries of A Coruña) is to become " lifelong learning centers " and to be between the community they serve and the information resources. The BMC are conscious that they need to incorporate learning, or lifelong learning, as one of the main strategies of the Network, if they want to adapt the role of the public library to the demands of the digital age. In 2013 starts the volunteer program with four activities ("Coa Lingua de fóra", "Cybervolunteers," Easy reading "and" The hour of reading ") and eighteen volunteers. These programs are currently being maintained and a new adult literacy campaign has been created: "It is never late", in collaboration with Cáritas. Keywords: BMC, Bibliotecas municipales de A Coruña, biblioteca pública, public library, formación permanente, life-long learning, cibervoluntarios, cybervolunteers, lectura fácil, easy reading, alfabetización de adultos, adult literacy

Wikimedia Commons has become a reference repository for old photography, due to the development of projects to release digitized material by memory institutions. These materials can be used,modified and distributed freely, facilitating culture access and enjoyment, scientific research, and cultural creation. This work deals with the OpenGLAM notion and projects, the activities that are carried out in Wikimedia Commons, and the characteristics and problematic of the information and archival management of the material.

Librarianship and Information Science (hereinafter B / CI), is the science that studies the registration and flow of knowledge and information; as well as the social circulation of the media that contain it (eg, journals), to make possible its use and organization of the scientific literature, from different approaches. The subject of libraries in relation to the democratic dimension and the conformation of citizenship, is fundamental in the work carried out by public libraries, because in these approaches the subject is observed from the library institution, the need for the formation of citizens to exercise an active / conscious citizenship and the relation of the subject with the State, through Information and Knowledge, in the protection of the different types of objects of social memories (printed, electronic and virtual). The history of popular magazines, as a form of social memory, have stood out since the first Erbauliche Monaths-Unterredungen, appeared between 1663 and 1668, Le Mercure Galant, of 1672, The Tatler of 1709 to 1711, among others. In Argentina, magazines such as El Mosquito in 1863, Don Quijote, from 1884 to 1905, Caras y Caretas, published between 1898 and 1941, Martín Fierro in 1904, have marked their own history. Over time, the magazines were consolidated as a communication, community and specialized scientific system, and also as a social memory. Currently, it is one of the media, in its different media, more consulted by different types of users. This work proposes to question the lack of social memory of the printed Argentine magazines GLTTIBQ.

The arrival of the new digital environment has led to a revolution in the creation and the access to the information. One of the most remarkable consequences of this phenomenon is the Big Data, which refers to the huge amount of digitalized data that is used by distinct stakeholders for their analysis and use with different goals. This paper analyzes the consequences in the context of Personal Data Protection and lists the challenges and problems the Big Data implies in order to the legal principles that defend the privacy of the citizens.

In the current situation of economic crisis in Spain we discern two possible roads of exit to the crisis: the internationalisation and competitiveness. However, neither the business network, neither the companies can be effective in these fields without the concurrence of the Competitive Intelligence. Nowadays, in spite of the increase of the incorporation of this discipline to the business strategy of a lot of companies, still is not perceived in his just measure by the SMEs. Since the SMEs constitute a high percentage of the business network in this country, is to them to which it is necessary to do conscious of the importance of the Competitive Intelligence to the hour to detect new opportunities of business and niches of market. The Chambers of Commerce can be the most indicated actors to carry out this task of promotion, entitled by 125 years close working with the companies to create, consolidate and expand his business inside and out of the state field. It is this regional capillarity, consolidated bythe new Basic Law 4/2014 of the Official Cahmbers of Commerce, Industry, Services and Navigation, together with his paper as promoter of internationalisation and competitiveness plans, where the Competitive Intelligence can contribute to help the SMEs, and therefore to the business network, to surpass this disadvantageous economic situation.

Considered by citizens as trusted and safe places, libraries are continuously widening their role within their communities. Promoting digital empowerment (the capacity of using technology to introduce positive changes in the lives of individuals and groups) has become a key aspect in libraries’ role in supporting life-long learning. Between 2013 and 2016, the Instituto Cervantes Library in Athens organized several digital training iniciatives, such as “Safe and Connected Project”, in collaboration with Cibervoluntarios Foundation. Nowadays the Network of Instituto Cervantes Libraries faces the challenge of integrating this line of work within its main course of action, that is the promotion of the language and culture of Spanish speaking countries.

The integration of social web tools in the teaching and tearning processes has become common in higher education over the last decade. Instead, evaluation frameworks on the results it provides and the satisfaction of their users have evolved yet in a comparable manner. This paper describes the development of two faculty research projects in this field, and proposes that it is necessary to take into account the user's satisfaction regarding the processes of interaction with the platform.

In order to increase the number of sales and spread the company's brand among users, any company needs to have strong web presence. It will allow the company to get further dissemination of their products and engagement with its users. However, not all sectors conform equal to the social web. Specifically, the fashion industry (one of the most annual sales generated in Spain), it is a case of special interest due to its market characteristics. The main objective of this study is to analyse the web presence of the Spanish fashion companies, gathered by the “Fashion from Spain” directory (April 2015). Based on the 1,300 companies identified, it has been verified the existence of an official web presence through a website or any profile on the following social platforms: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Youtube and Google+.

Among the definitions of "observatory" the dictionary of the Royal Spanish Academy proposed as first meaning "place or position used to make observations." From the common connotation, an observatory, is a building or place where celestial and terrestrial phenomena are observed. These are installed in places that have a climate or appropriate conditions for the observation of that which is to study. It is an instrument of information with the aim of providing information of interest and social, scientific and technological relevance. Through a system of free, universal and free access, it provides information on a topic of importance and social need. (Adapted from ENRED The Information Society in the XXI century. Recognize that the concept of observatory is quite broad: a website or a study center can be renamed "observatory" for fashion, because it is running a project best understood with that denomination or because their aim is to analyze and produce information on a subject, activity, development or social, cultural or economic issue. An observatory of information must be recognized not only as a tool and source of social, scientific and technological but as a tool and object of research. Our research group is analyzing, from 2012, expansion and growing importance of observatories information in Argentina. We noticed in recent years greater role in disseminating information and as a source of investigation. We believe it is an interdisciplinary space in which the information professional, with special mention of the Librarian Documentalist must be present; further, we believe that they are an unavoidable performance space for information professionals.

Even if only a small part of the documentary heritage is digitalized it has been an increase of its presence on the Internet in the last few years. In addition to the preservation it’s also important that this documentation be accessible to everyone in the context of an open data policy that allows the reutilization of the digitalized heritage in other areas. In this regard it’s distinguished the public information sector which is subject to be seized in commercial and social activities from other stored content and collections sector which generate less commercial interest. In any case the conservation and diffusion of the digital heritage is a very expensive task that needs the collaboration of the private sector, that is contained in the Directive (2013/37/EU) of the European Parliament regarding the information of the public sector, and that also contains the collections drawn from archives, libraries and museums.

The Open Government initiatives are based on the principle of an administration that involves citizens, both in terms of transparency, as in participation in decision-making processes. In these processes, Open Data and Linked Open Data, have an always more significant place. Besides transparency and administration simplification concerning advantages, the usage of OD stimulates the society development from the social and economic perspective. To illustrate this, I'll pay attention on the Chilean reality and, particularly, on some experiences of the Smart Citizen Foundation.

Copyright daily practice shows that this legal topic doesn´t deals with general cases, but those that have to be analyzed from the perspective of its own particular circumstances. With this background, we will address the case of those information users who wish to obtain the fulltext of journal articles and are not able to do so given the lack of subscriptions or licenses. To address this point we will analyze the contractual arrangements between the author of the article and his employer, as well as the legal relationship between the author and his publisher. To narrow the jurisdiction under which the contents will be discussed, we will cite the Mexican law as well as the general principles dicated by international treaties on the matter.
