The objective is to analyze the interventions of editors in the Argentine cultural press in relation to the changes in the publishing market at the end of the twentieth century. Between 1988 and 1998, editors wrote in literary magazines in regular sections for the same target audience of the books they launched into the market. Unlike earlier publications, when editors wrote for their peers, in the late 1980s editors became visible to the public. The editors' publications in Babel magazine and the interviews in La Gandhi Argentina were read from the perspective of history and cultural sociology. The editors in the act of taking the floor situated their practice in comparison with the recent past and marked the tension between the different economic logics of cultural goods. The figure of the editor appeared in the press as he lost space in editorial management and decisions were taken by the commercial and marketing area. In a country without publishing archives or national bibliography, the writings and interviews with publishers serve to reconstruct fragments of their work and the absent catalog, at least until the implementation of the ISBN.

The socio-technological phenomena are characterized by integrating social, technical, and technological aspects. This type of phenomena are composed of people who intend to achieve a series of objectives through technological tools. To understand the dynamic behavior of these phenomena, it is necessary to carry out modeling and simulation processes that integrate the multiple elements and relationships that compose them. The objective of this document is to explain the theoretical field of modeling and the simulation of sociotechnological phenomena from a systematic literature review process, the application of UNE 166006: 2011 technology monitoring methodology, and data mining using Vantage software. Point. As one of the conclusions identified, it is mentioned that this field is open to research that can be done from Colombia and Latin America.

Prospero Calderón (1862-1934) will be the first Costa Rican to devote himself to the profession of editor; Likewise he will be photographer, teacher, designer and precursor of the graphic arts in the country.

Eugene Garfield developed a theory about using the article’s bibliographic citations as an information retrieval procedure more efficient than those in use during 1950s. He undertook the development of a complete citation index to show the propagation of the scientific thought. He founded the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI). There he created Current Contents, the SCI and other products now collected in the Web of Science, the Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and the Impact Factor. Garfield theory corresponds, in the era of Internet, to the development of information retrieval algorithms such as Pagerank, of Google, that uses structured citation between websites through hyperlinks. Garfield revolutionized the world of scientific research and science evaluation

This paper comes out of a bibliographic research performed through the University of Pisa catalogue carried out by the authors and Mrs. Elena Longoni. Its scope and purpose was to draw out from the catalogue all records about gender studies and equal opportunities. The issue has been the editing of a pertinent bibliography published in March 2008 by SEU (University Editorial Service) and freely available online http://eprints.adm.unipi.it/464/. Based on this experience, in this article are suggested some evaluations on these aspects of our catalogue: semantic research functionalities and semantic access quantity and quality. Nowadays it is possible to observe in OPAC a misconnection between power of indexing languages of library science (subjecting and classification) and tools for information retrieval. In most of the OPACs the semantic access quantity is never complete for the existence of many rules and different choices. A lot of efforts faced to improve semantic access quality and homogeneity have been done over last years. Despite that, mainly in Italy where “Nuovo Soggettario” (the new controlled vocabulary) has been put in place, it’s still possible to come across many mistakes and incongruences.

Standardization is essential for proper transfer, storage and recovery of information. Standardization affects all aspects of information usage, and not only for professionals in information processing. The most prominent aspectsof professional practice in this field are adressed, including the IraLIS solution for citing Spanish authors with multiple surnames. There is a need for Spanish scientific authors to be aware that taking these actions will improve the visibility of their work in international citation resources.

The accumulation of individual, institutional and intellectual knowledge is the most basic and important instrument in the determination of the progress and conditions of any branch of science and/or profession. The librarians who have qualifications and responsibilities in every stage of the process extending from publication to the accession of knowledge, are at the same time responsible for providing necessary instruments and environments. In Turkey librarians started to create effective instruments and conditions necessary for the accession to the individual, institutional and intellectual accumulation of knowledge. A new project has been set up in 2006 under the leadership of University and Research Librarians’ Association. The objective of this project is to provide accession to the individual, institutional and intellectual accumulation of knowledge in electronic form in the field of librarianship, and therefore,in the same year a new project called “Who is Who in Librarianship in Turkey” has come into being in electronic form. From 2007, onwards “The Directory of Information Centers in Turkey is being prepared in electronic form. In the third stage of the project, the reports, papers, etc. related to librarianship will be also available for accession in electronic form.

Mate Ujević, Croatian writer, lexicographer and encyclopaedist contributed significantly to the development of bibliographical work in Croatia. As his role as a meritorious Croatian bibliographer has not been worthily evaluated, on the occasion of his birth's centenary the author intended to investigate the available published and other sources and attempt to evaluate his main bibliographic achievements and merits. In the field of bibliography Ujević acted as a moving force, organiser, performer of activities and educator, especially during his riper years. He encountered the necessity of recreating the missing Croatian retrospective bibliographies as a young man in his late thirties, while preparing the edition of the Croatian Encyclopaedia. Then he immediately pleaded for the organizing of a systematic compilation of retrospective and current bibliographies of printed books. Although during a shorter period he himself actively took part in the preparation of the Croatian retrospective bibliography of books and the current bibliography of articles in Croatian periodicals, his main bibliographic work is the great retrospective "Bibliography of studies, articles and literary works of the Lexicographic Institute" which he founded and edited from 1951 to his death in 1967. This rich retrospective bibliography of articles published in the South Slavic serial publications from the end of the 18th century to 1945 is, due to a wide selection of serial titles and its excellent indexes, almost unique in the world. In its realisation Ujević managed to accumulate an outstanding quantity of high quality bibliographic material. As an excellent organiser he distributed the collection of data in major libraries in Zagreb, Ljubljana, Belgrade, Dubrovnik, Split, Zadar, Rijeka, Pula, Sarajevo, Subotica, Novi Sad and Skopje. The main editor's office was in Zagreb, and the two additional major co-ordinating centres in Ljubljana and Belgrade. The published 15 volumes of the Bibliography include to this day: literature (7 vols.), history (4 vols.), fine arts (1 vol.) and music (2 vols.) and are irreplaceable sources of bibliographic data to numerous researchers in Croatia and abroad. 1n the last decade of his life Ujević was engaged in teaching bibliography within the postgraduate programme in library and information studies of the University of Zagreb. With this activity he rounded up his prolific activity and contribution to the field of Croatian bibliography.

This job is based on an article in which definitions of Bibliography have been registered and have been analyzed qualitatively; the results show the parameters which these definitions contain. Following this, the results are studied by means of statistical and network analysis with the computer program R and Ucinet. The analysis of the network studies the connections between them, understanding as a connection, when the two parameters appear together in a definition. The results lead to the conclusion that it is a symmetrical network, which although presenting structural holes does not contain subgroups and for this reason all the parameters are reachable. Finally this method is proposed as a very useful tool when it comes to managing concepts, at times so difficult to define, as is the case with Bibliography.

The view that María Moliner wrote the Dictionary without any knowledge of lexicography is widespread. The aim of this essay is to demonstrate that the exercise of her profession as a librarian and, more concretely, the management of the alphabetical subject catalogue, granted her ample lexicographical experience. The management of an alphabetical subject catalogue requires the creation and management by the librarian of a true lexicon, aimed at establishing an informative dialogue with the user of the catalogue. No doubt, this practice proved decisive, not only for the process of creation of the Dictionary, but also for the designing of the model itself.

Information science is an interdisciplinary area of study which has strong links with a wide range of subjects. As a consequence of these interactions, a couple of branches have been emerged in information science during the past few decades. For example, development of bioinformatics is the result of collaborative research on common grounds between biologists and information science experts. Similarly, Chemoinformatics is an area of research and practice which has roots in chemistry and information science. This report is the direct transcription of an interview with Professor Peter Willett in March 7, 2006 and seeks to illustrate some general issues in chemoinformatics and its linkage with the related areas. Professor Willett is the head of Department of Information Studies at the University of Sheffield and is one of the well-known researchers in information retrieval (IR) in general and chemoinformatics in particular. The interview consists of two parts. The first part is related to Professor Willett’s specific research area and its relation to the World Wide Web. In the second part he addresses some general issues about his personal experience of using the Web as an end-user rather than an expert in IR.

When one glances through the endless book of history and reads about the lives and actions of persons with great merits for their perseverance and dedication, the luminous trail they leave behind causes pleasant admiration. Thera are plenty of examples of human beings, who, in the course of time, have made unforgettable achievements with which they have conquered the glory.
