In order to promote and disseminate the archival collections, safeguarding and preserving the original documents of use and excessive handling, the Municipal Archive of Ponte de Lima has been digitizing cultural heritage materials and made them available in full text - more than 193,000 images. In the actuality the Municipal Archive of Ponte de Lima has implemented a project entitled "Information Repository of Ponte de Lima Municipality (RIMPL)", which consists in providing a common interface research archive, Library and Municipal Museums, avoiding thus the need to access each system individually to obtain the desired information.

RBE enable the organazation of school libraries, wiche ensure the free acess to the learning resources and the development of users's literacies. For that, the PB, a qualified teacher is the basis of this structure. Their functions and the legal regulations require constasnt updating, that is, specialized and continuos training. In this context, this paper aims to reflect on PB' function, training and assessment. To do that, the research follows a qualitative analytical methodology, using a content analysis to the legislation. The cross-referencing categories in legislation semms to indicate that the determinations of one legal paper is not reflected in the other legal paper. Therefore, it is concluded that there are inconsistencies and a gap in the assessment of the PB, consequently, another evaluative model is needed.

In the context of contemporary research, research data ceases to be mere by-products of research activities and resurgence as protagonists in the search for new knowledge. This example is driven by the digital technologies that create conditions for the emergence of a large volume of data, the scientific process and the research process based on the collection, generation, processing and analysis of mass data of the databases. Researchers, academic institutions, policy makers, and development agencies initiate what research data is managed and the informational resources that can be shared and reused as input for further research. However, the data, different from the publications, are heterogeneous, diversified, generated for different purposes, by different technologies and in specific disciplinary domains. It is observed that there are terminological gaps that make information management difficult. From this point, the present paper accepts the challenge of evaluating the taxonomy for the classification of research data types, the anchoring in the theoretical-methodological approach of the Knowledge Organization.

Comics are informational resources that have been gaining prominence in cultural heritage institutions. Cataloging is able, through processes, instruments and products, to guarantee and expand the forms of retrieval and access to informational resources. This research, with a qualitative approach, theoretical and exploratory character, aims to analyze the metadata for cataloging comic books and discusses, in the results, the metadata identified from the literature mapping. It is concluded that the metadata standards turn to the data structure instead of the comic book content and that, in most cases, the fields described do not meet the particularities of the institutions.

An accurate representation of documents is fundamental for the effectiveness of information retrieval, being the subject analysis process a key step for it. In this sense, measuring the descriptors that represent scientific knowledge is quintessential to electronic journals. This paper analyzes the use of descriptors for the organization and retrieval of academic papers from 2013 published in two scientific journals: JASIST and Scientometrics. Following an exploratory-descriptive study with a mixed-method approach, data collected were recorded in a database developed in MS Access. Main findings showed that the amount of authors did not influence the number of descriptors found in articles, since several articles written by various authors did not present the allocation descriptors. Meanwhile, other articles with a single author had several descriptors. The study concludes that the two journals under study are relevant for the Information Science field; however, results noted the absence of criteria and rigor especially with regard to the compliance of the journals’ guidelines. Results suggest some negligence from authors with respect to their articles descriptors, which directly affects the retrieval and access of thematic content.

Recent studies have shown that Brazilian and international development agencies have included initiatives for funded research projects to present a scientific data management plan for open access sharing. In order to investigate this issue, research has been developed with the following objectives: a) to identify the main Brazilian research funders; b) to identify if there are institutional policies for open scientific data; c) to analyze policies regarding their character (mandatory or recommended), coverage and support. It is an exploratory-descriptive, qualitative study that is supported by bibliographic and documentary research. The data from the institutions that promote research in Brazil was recovered through the extraction of information from the Lattes Platform, using the scriptLattes tool . As a result, 15 national and 15 international agencies that promote research in Brazil were selected. Information on Open Data Policy or instruction was located in five of the national agencies. This information was found in nine of the international agencies. A criteria framework was used as a model analyzing UK funders coverage of open data policies, which was made available by the Digital Curation Centre (DCC) on its electronic portal. The model used in the applied study addressed characterization aspects of Agencies that promote research developed by Brazilian researchers. Its adaptation to different realities and/or objectives will depend on the introduction of other variables that act on the interactions according to the study's interest.

After 350 years of the discovery of scientific journals former, the area of scientific communication accompanied the global transformation of related information technology to periodicals, blunting considerably in public institutions such as universities. So you can see that the electronic journals alone already operate major changes in research environments, building a link between practice and theory in scientific articles referenced. This paper aims to present the criteria and methodological procedures that were used to build the Portal of Scientific Journals Electronics (PPEC) at the State University of Campinas (Unicamp) throughout the life of its 50 years of creation. In consonance of this implantation the PPEC had great results as the participation in the Brazilian Network of Digital Preservation Cariniana, being full partner network, acquisition of DOI for all journals linked to the Portal, and recognition as a portal for indexing by having the OAI -PMH, the freshmen publications of the University Portal.

The context of the paper is a PhD research in medieval history, focused on landscape and settlement in NW Portugal, from the 9th to the 11th century. To solve the problem of organizing a large volume of data and guarantee flexibility in analyzing it the tool chosen has been a relational database. This paper’s purpose is to discuss the process of designing such a database, present its results and draw some conclusions on the generality of the method. The organization of the information will be presented through the final design of the database model and by an explanation of its main constituents. Some details pertaining to the historical research needs will be highlighted. Besides the organization of the data, a significant effort has been devoted to find clear ways to communicate it. Some of the resulting interfaces will be shown, as well as some example statistics already obtained from the database. The territorial entities have been geo-referenced wherever possible so it has been possible to automatically feed the corresponding cartography. A final result is the integration of the database in an institutional data repository to make it openly available to the research community.

In the field of scientific production and sharing in the digital environment, both the scientific communication system and the peer review model have been the subject of a broad debate, providing new challenges, such as the development of alternatives for creation, evaluation and dissemination of scientific knowledge. The Open Science Movement, which promotes open access to scientific knowledge, contributed to the emergence of the Open Peer Review, which follows models characterized by the need to identify the reviewers and their revisions or by the need for parties' consent (authors and revisions) for the disclosure of their identities. The objective of this research is to identify and characterize the participation of Brazilian researchers in Health and Life Sciences in this format of peer review. This descriptive and exploratory research has as source of information the F1000Research platform that adopts the Open Peer Review model and is dedicated to the specific themes of Health and Life Sciences. In order to do so, a search in the platform with the term "Brazil" in the "Author Affiliation" and "Referee Affiliation" fields. Of the total of 1,660 documents indexed in the database at the date of the survey, only 1.8% documents (n = 30) consisted of at least one author of a Brazilian institution and 2.2% documents (n = 38) were reviewed by at least one researcher, thus establishing the corpus of this research. It was verified that although the Platform receives the submission of unconventional typologies published in scientific journals, such as slides, for example, 73.33% of the documents (n = 22) correspond to the category of articles. Regarding the institution of the Brazilian authors, the presence of educational institutions, companies, hospitals and federal agencies such as the Ministry of Health stands out, for example. The Southeastern region of the country is the most representative with 68% (n = 17) of the institutions. Some of the identified educational institutions are internationally recognized such as, for example, the University of São Paulo, the Federal University of São Paulo, the Federal University of São Carlos, the University of Campinas and the Federal University of Minas Gerais. As to authorship, 6.6% of the texts (n = 2) are single authored, 40% (n = 12) are shared authors with authors only related to Brazilian institutions and 53.4% (n = 16) are authored jointly with international authors. Analyzing the reviewers from Brazilian institutions, 38% (n = 19) are from the University of São Paulo. Although most revisions are single authored, some documents have also appeared in co-authorship in theirs reviews, which is a novelty in signing revisions. The F1000Research platform allows the complete monitoring of the publishing process, with access to the revision reports and modifications made in the original text, from the comments received. Another advantage of the platform is the possibility of training new reviewers. The low adhesion to the platform, however, compromises its representativeness for studies of scientific communication in the mainstream system, although it is an initiative that allows in-depth studies on adherence to this new alternative to the scientific communication process.

Brazilian journals in Information Science typically depend on semi-voluntary work, with scarce resources. The inclusion of some of these journals in reputable databases gives them status and attracts more and more submissions, without resource escalability. This article explores this context through a system dynamics model that represents article stocks and flows throughout the editorial process. We run four alternative scenarios, with different quantities of submissions, with or without interventions (closing for new submissions and sharp increase of desk rejections). In these scenarios, a 50% increase in submissions leads to a total evaluation time of about 19 months, regardless of interventions that alleviate the overhead only momentarily. Few overburdened editors support the continuity of the system.

Considering catalog as a communication channel between user and library collection, this paper aims to demonstrate the importance of authority control for objectives and functions of catalogs. The paper presents authority control and authority work definitions and introduces the objectives and functions of the catalog defined by Charles Ammi Cutter, Eva Verona, Ákos Domanovszky, Seymour Lubetzky and Elaine Svenonius, as well as those presented in Paris Principles, in Functional Requirements for Bibliographic Records (FRBR) and in Statement of International Cataloguing Principles. The findings expose that definitions of the objectives and functions of the catalog, elaborated and reviewed several times in history of cataloging, contain vestiges of finding and collocating objectives firstly defined by Charles Ammi Cutter, and such objectives requires authority control. This paper concludes that authority control is an important component for catalogs, since authority control assures the finding and collocating objectives achievement without the need of user knows about all names of entity sought. In the current digital information environments, studies on authority control obtain increasingly importance, because accuracy and disambiguation, characteristics enabled by authority control, are essentials. Studies on authority control transposed to the Web get a higher proportion becoming important contributions to the Web and, especially, to the Semantic Web efforts and projects.

Information is a major resource to the functioning and survival of organizations. Today, in the top of value creation we find the intangible assets based on information and knowledge. In the actual economy, richness is created based on value from knowledge and innovative ideas. Organizations need information to compete in the global environment, to innovate and obtain competitive advantages in their activities. There are about 350 academic research units financed by the Science and Technology Foundation (STF) of the Science, Technology and Superior Education. The grants depend on external evaluation. This work paper analyzes and characterizes the academic research centers with special focus on Science, Technology and Medicine. Those are the principal creators of scientific and technical knowledge in Portugal, pushing business creation and being engines of social and economical development. We checked the data regarding 2007 evaluation from the STF and developed a questionnaire to understand the information sources used in R&D in Portugal. We found that Internet and WWW became the principal platform to access information by researchers, except for technical books that continue to be preferred in paper format.

The operative concept of paradigm, in spite of its immoderate use and semantic worn out, is quite useful and necessary inside a comprehensive epistemology of the scientific field of Information/Documentation. And through this concept it is easy to understand the evolution of the professional practice and the concerning techniques, not only related to libraries, but also to archives and even to museums. But, for that, it is needed to fix the degree of semantic proximity of the concept relatively to the original conception of the north-American physician and science historian, Thomas Khun, once the interpretation of such conception is not consensual. In our field, we have Rafael Capurro’s proposal, elaborated exclusively from the perimeter of the Information Science, born after the World War II in the USA, which associates ‘paradigm’, quite directly, to theoretical production, as it is understood through the connotation of the designations chosen by the author – physical paradigm, cognitive paradigm, social paradigm and social-cognitive paradigm; and we have the proposal made by the authors of this paper, that operate with two paradigms (the custodial, cultural, historicist and technicist and the post-custodial, informational and scientific). In this paper, it is intended to characterize the two paradigms through the analysis of some important elements related to professional practice and other connected to higher education and the subsequent research activity. It is a theoretical approach, based mainly in the analysis and comparison, in the light of the starting presuppositions, more than an applied research work, through which it is possible to communicate results and formulate conclusions from an empirical study.

The Cannabis sativa plant has been used by humans for millennia. Scientific research has shown positively that cannabinoids can help the treatment of various diseases. This research aims to document the development of the Thematic Digital Library of Brazilian Academic-Scientific Publications on the Medicinal Use of Cannabis. The research can be justified for presenting a topic of interest to researchers due to its adherence to social, educational and health problems. Also because there are scientific-academic publications focused on the subject, as well as tools of Information Science to promote the organization, dissemination and access to such material. It is believed that the organization of this information can collaborate for the scientific dissemination on the subject, as well as to promote the visibility among researchers and the dissemination and access to the information to the interested public.

In Information Science, studies in the field of Organization and Information Representation link the relationship between documents and communities served by the information units. In this sense, considering the LGBTQ community, it is questioned what research has been developed on the subject in the area of Information Science. The research, with the objective of mapping the national and international academic and scientific production in Information Science on the LGBTQ + theme, is justified by the fact that they involve aspects inherent in representation and access to information, as well as those related to use studies and information users. In order to carry out this survey, four platforms were chosen: BENANCIB, BRAPCI, NDLTD and SciELO. Data were collected between September 2017 and July 2018. Key words were used in English, Portuguese and Spanish in order to broaden the reach of the search results. It is concluded that studies related to the subject are still scarce in the area (28 documents retrieved) and that, among the authors, stand out: Fabio Assis Pinho, Francisco Arrais Nascimento and José Augusto Chaves Guimarães.

Overview of academic book evaluation systems

In the last 20 years there have been big changes in the Portuguese academic libraries services as academic libraries over the world. These changes include the adoption of automatic catalogues and the electronic access to bibliographic data bases and scientific journals in full text. Nowadays physical and digital sources are together. Professors, students and researchers are able to access simultaneous to a great amount of quality information pay and open access. The Portuguese Government has been investing to improve the access to the production of knowledge so as to develop the country. It is important to know the return on the investments in university libraries. The purpose of this paper is to identify the impact of the electronic sources in the Portuguese academic libraries. This paper describes an ongoing project to assess: •The use of electronic scientific information and the correlation to the scientific production of the Portuguese academic community according to standard performance measures indicators and bibliometrics data. •The economic value of these library services. In order to estimate in monetary terms the value of these services for end-users we use the contingent valuation method (CVM).This study reports the results of a quantitative e-survey of academic community.

This paper is part of a research project running by the two authors about the general subject of The Epistemology of the Information Scince in dialogue and was preceded by another, more initiatory, presented in EDBIC III conducted in 2008 by the University of Salamanca. In this ongoing project objective to treat the main epistemological issues not only on Information Science, but also the area where it falls most directly - the information and communication sciences - and in more general level, the Applied Social Sciences. And objective is also to debate them with insights and ideas which differ in some central points, especially, among them, the defense established around the interdisciplinary profile of Inforation Science, in line with postmodernist and relativist placements rather generalized worldwide, particularly in Brazil, and its opposite, namely the assertion of a domestic and crossdisciplinary status for the Information Science, which has been postulated, supported and implemented in programs for graduate and post-graduate of the University of Porto. This paper will focus on the issue of paradigms, contrasting the four listed by Capurro to the two major paradigms proposed by Silva & Ribeiro, and in light of the proposed paradigm seek to show which of them are presented in post-graduate programs of Information Science taught in Brazil and Portugal through the analysis of objectives, theoretical basis and the exposed studies plan.

This paper reports a university project entitled Desenvolvimento de Competências Informacionais em Ambiente Virtual, which is conducted by the reference services at Central Library supported by the Department of Librarianship in the Federal University of Espírito Santo (UFES).

In an Europe where 20% of adult Europeans have no literacy skills, i.e., have low levels of reading and informational competences, what does the concept of Information Society and being a prosumer mean? And what role should information professionals play when faced with information management, organization and presentation issues? This paper aims at answering these questions, analysing the way the brain develops skills, competences, beliefs and behaviours. In that way, it is indicative of the importance of establishing the area of neuroinformation, within the scope of training and research in Information Sciences.

Keeping the presence across the medieval Trivium and maintaining the upward in the second millennium Anno Domini, the Aristotelian’s Poetics and Rhetoric always kept the organization of the literary texts, classical option that obliges the writer to accomplish three key steps: inventio, dispositio and elocutio. Another can on of those classical norms,the memoria, int he present time almost only realizes its purpose by ensuring the author skills in the gnosiologic universe, including the globalized information networks, and thus it is in the inventio that the modern framework of information science, with equivalent prominence in this post-custodial period, is organized by intertextual proposals intersect and interpenetrate by multiple disciplines, fulfilling an important operative task. In literature, and although in most cases the contact with the e-book does not exclude the traditional one, it becomes clear that the use of the virtual knowledge networks hosts a convenient, useful and diverse range of materials, also theoretical and critical. But this facility shapes the other face of Janus: it invites to the paraphrases constructing and particularly to the plagiarism practice, unscrupulous enough to kill the true author by the mere palimpsest of his name. Supported by suitable studies on the access to the shared networks information and on the referred practice of plagiarism, this paper aims to exhibit the existing research on knowledge representation based on the information provided by virtual communities, without the expertise assistance of the information science.

This paper presents the partial results of a study designed to promote a better understanding regarding teenagers (12-18 years) information behaviour related with the assessment of information sources credibility. A survey was applied to a sample of 195 students from one 3rd cycle school and one secondary school, in a municipality of Oporto district. Results on the students’ perception about the criteria to be applied in Internet information sources evaluation are presented and analyzed. The practices that young people claim to apply regarding the use of criteria such authorship, originality, structure, information update and comparison for web resources selection will be presented. In addition, these results will be discussed and compared with the perceptions that these respondents have demonstrated for the use of criteria to establish or assess these criteria. These results will be also discussed and compared with the perceptions that these respondents have demonstrated for the elements that make up each of these criteria. Data analysis is framed and supported by a literature review on the concept of credibility, applied to information resources available on the Internet. Some topics related to the inclusion of strategies for assessing digital information credibility in Big6 model, one of the models for the development of information literacy skills most known and used in Portuguese school libraries, are also presented.

This paper aims, through an ethnographic method in a grounded theory study, a textual analysis of the participative fruition operated by Antville online music video fan community of Charlotte Gainsbourg and Beck’s Heaven Can Wait (Schofield, 2009). The main results of the analysis are the framing of Antville members’ praxis in the «forensic» fandom practices, which produce a rather eloquent form of collective intelligence fomented by «drillable» producerly features of the music video text. This «drillability» can be conceptualized as a complement of the most common spreadable practices of diffusion on the social web (dissemination and propagation).

This paper aims to characterize the academic profile of the faculty of Postgraduate Programs in Information Science (PPGCI) and related areas in Brazil. It is a bibliographic and documental research carried out at the site of the National Association for Research and Postgraduate Studies in Information Science (ANCIB) in order to identify existing PPGCI. To establish the teacher`s names was held a survey on the websites of respective Programs. The survey allowed us to determine the presence of 218 teachers in the 15 PPGCI and 59 on the Programs of the related areas, working until December 31, 2012. CVs housed on CNPq Lattes Platform were analyzed to determine the academic training of teachers. To preserve the data integrity, the nomenclature used in the curriculum was maintained, although some variations on terminology for the same training were perceived.

The present paper aims to analyze quantitative and qualitative trends of research in Information Science in Portugal supported on 253 dissertations produced between 1999 and 2012, classified in different areas of Information Science research. For this, the author analysis the dissertations, projects and reports stage of the masters in Information Science of four Portuguese higher education institutions: University of Évora, Faculty of Arts (University of Lisboan), Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities (New University of Lisbon) and Faculty of Engineering (University of Oporto). The results obtained in this study corroborate other similar national and international investigations that examine the scientific literature in Information Science, having more adhesion areas related to information management in organizations. Simultaneously, more theoretical issues of Information Science are few in number, assuming the work, in most cases, the case study methodology, predominating a pragmatic and professional vision of the Information Science, that overstates the intervention attitude to research. Finally, the scientific output resulting from master dissertations is representative of the state of development of Information Science in Portugal, witnessing other issues, such as lack of Groups, programs and research projects in Information Science consolidated in different higher education institutions, the recent recognition and consolidation of Information Science, the existence of some difficulties in the definition of Information Science and its subject, as well as a recent experience of different master programs in Information Science.

It presents the Biblioteca Brasiliana Mindlin collection of the University of São Paulo (BBMUSP) and the need to establish criteria to constitute a policy for the development of collections, based on theoretical references. It is a discussion that raises the greatest challenges for the development of a collection development policy, taking into account the specificities, aspects, context and the role of BBMUSP in the University.

The scientific reduction to the individual or atom, typical of analytical, disciplinary science, earned the derogatory designation “reductionism” to denounce its inadequacy to deal with concrete, complex problems. Bunge's systemism is a worldview at variance with reductionism, but also with the “reduction to the whole” of holistic approaches that deny the possibility of explanation through analysis. This article presents the reduction to the system, a fundamental epistemic operation of systemism, with emphasis on its application to information science. We discuss the fundamentals of systemism, particularly its composition-environment-structure-mechanism, or CESM model, which frames systemist reduction. A graduate course on systemist research with CESM is presented, including a new modeling method, illustrated with students' models. We show how to explain systemic effects, even if counterintuitive, claiming that systemist research is in better conditions to do so than its rivals reductionism and holism.

This text aims to communicate the reflections undertaken by researchers from the School of Design and Research: Intergenerational workshops: knowledge and practice experience, linked to the Department of Science Ceca information - Uel. The goal of communication is to share investigative paths on digital environments and oral narratives, with the initial focus, developed software for focusing on the experiences of the participants of the project .For so, the paths that led to the structuring of the initial phase are described the research focused on the understanding of digital environments. We can state that the maintenance, preservation and encouraging socialization of narrative in digital media opens up new prospects for the generational and intergenerational sharing of experiences among different social groups, especially if understood from a transdisciplinary perspective.
