The eastern Antioquia region of Colombia's central mountain range, is characterize by steep altitudinal gradients and rich hydrological resources, with the majority of the drainage flowing into the middle Magdalena River. To compile a taxonomic list of the fish of eastern Antioquia, three sources of information were used: i) the revision of unpublished literature available in regional libraries, ii) revision icthyological collections with vouchers of the region, and iii) specific field work in unstudied aquatic systems. A total of 103 species belonging to eight orders and 25 families were found. The majority of the species found belonged to the families Characidae, Astroblepidae, Loricariidae and Trichomycteridae. Of the species collected, 32 are new records for the region and four are apparently new to science. Eight exotics species are introduced, now established in natural systems. With this study the total for the region increased considerably above the 49 species that had been previously reported in literature, much of which is from the 1980's. It is important to increase collecting efforts in the eastern Antioquia region, due to the underestimation of it's fish biodiversity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

An assessment of the impact of Latin American electronic journals included in international databases is offered, with the aim of evaluating the performance of these journals in the international literature. The Latin American journals selected are analyzed and preserved in the Latin American Journal Collection (Hemeroteca Latinoamericana) of the General Libraries Directorate of the National University of Mexico (UNAM); are available on line and included in two databases, namely PERIODICA and CLASE, were used for this work. The journal titles were searched in the most important international databases of each discipline with the aim of detect their presence in this databases their coverage and actual status. The obtained data were analyzed and interpreted. A diagnosis on the performance of these journals at an international level was realized. Finally, these journals were searched in the Journal Citation Report, just to know their impact factor. Results showed that the Latin American journals are not included in the most important international databases, and also that the most developed countries have a higher presence in these databases, and that the most outstanding discipline is biomedicine.

ICT is seen as the electricity of the information age and its access to library and information science education as a key to the process of development. The modern library has changed its traditional face and functioning in a more innovative way in this age of information. A library as we know it today is the organized collection of books, periodicals, newspapers, manuscripts, films, maps, prints, documents, microforms, CDs, cassettes, videotapes, DVDs, Blu-ray Discs, ebooks, audiobooks, databases and other formats. This paper highlights the phenomenal changes happened due to the advent of ICT in the functions of libraries. ICT has drastically changed the way information services are provided, so much that with the Internet, a library can access and organize information and information resources as much as necessary while library and information providers have been able to serve patrons not only face to face but also virtually. Thus, technology has changed and allowed ever new ways of generating, storing, organizing and disseminating information. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
