     1.     "Knowledge Management for Biomedical Literature: The Function of Text-Mining Technologies in Life-Science Research".  INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF TECNOLOGY, EDUCATION AND DEVELOPMENT (IATED), 2008. http://www.iated.org/inted2008/

Descriptores: Knowledge Management (KM)

Resumen: Efficient information retrieval and extraction is a major challenge in life-science research. The Knowledge Management (KM) for biomedical literature aims to establish an environment, utilizing information technologies, to facilitate better acquisition, generation, codification, and transfer of knowledge. Knowledge Discovery in Text (KDT) is one of the goals in KM, so as to find hidden information in the literature by exploring the internal structure of knowledge network created by the textual information. Knowledge discovery could be major help in the discovery of indirect relationships, which might imply new scientific discoveries. Text-mining provides methods and technologies to retrieve and extract information contained in free-text automatically. Moreover, it enables analysis of large collections of unstructured documents for the purposes of extracting interesting and non-trivial patterns of knowledge. Biomedical text-mining is organized in stages classified into the following steps: identification of biological entities, identification of biological relations and classification of entity relations. Here, we discuss the challenges and function of biomedical text-mining in the KM for biomedical literature.

Descriptores: Open access

Resumen: Self-archiving was studied in 3,495 papers in 109 core journals that published 50% of Valencia's scientific production in biomedical and health sciences included in the 2000-2004 ISI databases. The effectiveness of self-archiving is analyzed with respect to the feasibility of launching open access institutional and subject-specific repositories. Data were obtained from the Sherpa/Romeo database. Self-archiving is favourable for the implementation of institutional repositories because 56.8% of papers could be immediately deposited, a percentage that increases to 72% after a period of embargo and to 87% when papers published in full text journals are included. The feasibility of establishing biomedical and health science repositories for the Valencian Community is questionable, due to the fact that most publishers will not grant permission for inclusion in a repository unless mandated by the research funding agency, a practice lacking in our country at present.


     4.    Abadal, E.,  "Politiche open access e repositori istituzionali in Europa".  E-LIS: E-Prints in Library and Information Science, 2009. http://eprints.rclis.org/16062/

Descriptores: institutional repositories

Resumen: The aim of this text is to describe a typology of intervention instruments which could be the base for an institutional policy for promoting open access. This typology has five main areas: establishment of technical infrastructures and services, information and dissemination actions, economic incentivation, institutional coordination, regulation (mandate), and inspection or control. Several instruments for each one of this areas and relevant international examples are indicated.

Descriptores: Google

Resumen:  In various contexts, a concern has been expressed, both implicitly and explicitly, that search engines in general, and Google in particular, may be using some system that obscures certain cultural content or emphasizes the Anglo-Saxon perspective, to the detriment of other cultures and languages. To put it in other terms, we present an exclusively theoretical approach to the idea that intensive use of search engines, which is so common now, represents a threat to cultural diversity. First, with the goal of putting our study in context, we present two previous debates on the dilemma of protectionism vs. the free flow of cultural products, and then analyse the most relevant characteristics of search engines (with a focus on Google) to determine whether they constitute a credible threat to cultural and linguistic diversity on the Web.

Descriptores: Hemeroteques digitals

Resumen: The study analyses the level of development of the press archives of the 12 Catalan newspapers with the largest digital circulations, according to a set of indicators of general features (name, temporal coverage, etc.), the query system (operators, search by fields, help, etc.), presentation of results (document fields, formats, etc.) and other features (visibility, accessibility and cost). The study finds that the level of development of digital press archives is not homogeneous and there is an important inequality between media whose origin is the print format and those that are born in internet.

Descriptores: revistas científicas

Resumen: A description of the current situation of scholarly journals from Spanish universities with the aim of highlighting certain actions to improve their dissemination. First, quantitative data is offered regarding the university scientific journals that originate from journal directories (essentially, Cindoc, Ulrich?s and Latindex). It then sets out a set of seven basic lines of action to improve their dissemination and impact: content digitalisation, inclusion on portals, free access dissemination, creation of multilingual versions, communication of new features, audience measuring and inclusion in databases. Finally, reference is made to the main agents that may carry out this type of action.

Descriptores: Administrative computing

Resumen: In order to obtain a degree, the final step for the student at the Industrial Engineering School of Barcelona (ETSEIB) of the Technical University of Catalonia (UPC) is the submission of his/her dissertation. Before implementing the ?Stock Exchange of Dissertations? the process of PFC was generally quite regulated and systematized, and with a good support of interaction through a web site, except in the initial part of the process, when the students have to choose the subject and the director for their future dissertation. Besides that, the academic staff did not have any tool to consult their current and past activity in this field. ETSEIB?s Library has created the ?Stock Exchange of Dissertations?, a system focused to manage the dissertation offers at the School in a very detailed and effective way.

Departament d'Innovació, Universitats i Empresa. Comissionat per a Universitats i Recerca, 2009, pp. 78-103. http://www.gencat.cat/diue/doc/doc_45814969_1.pdf

Descriptores: R&D&I

Resumen: The highly strategic research, development and innovation(R&D&I)cycle is fundamental to scientific knowledge and economic growth. For the cycle to function adequately, relevant R&D&I information has to be managed effectively. In recent years, the Institute of Catalan Studies (Institut d?Estudis Catalans, or IEC) has played an increasingly important role as a consultant to public bodies, primarily by preparing reports and expert opinions on strategic aspects of Catalan science policy. In 1995, the IEC was commissioned by the Autonomous Government of Catalonia (Generalitat) to produce the Reports de la Recerca a Catalunya (Catalan Research Reports), describing the state of Catalan research in specific knowledge fields. Two volumes have been published to date, covering the six-year period 1990-1995 (24 reports) and the seven-year period 1996-2002 (27 reports). In 2003, in order to support the work involved in producing the second volume, the IEC founded the Catalan Research Observatory. Since then, the Research Observatory has gradually compiled data on the R&D&I system from all the Catalan linguistic-cultural regions. In 2008 the web portal MERIDI+ was launched with the aim of serving as a useful and practical tool for a whole spectrum of users, ranging from researchers to interested members of the general public. Users are offered differing levels of access to the portal and its information, ranging from privileged access ?by special agreement? for institutions and bodies to basic access for the public. Rather than offer comparative analyses of bodies or researchers, MERIDI+ aims essentially to serve as a tool for transforming a large quantity of disperse and very different information on R&D&I activities in Catalonia into accessible knowledge.

Descriptores: European Higher Education Area

Resumen: The European Higher Education Area has revealed the need to change the teaching-learning process, and to adapt the librarian services to the new needs. In this context of change, the present communication tries to illustrate the importance of using the results of opinion surveys of library users to redesign the services offered in the library or to create new services adapted to their needs. As an example, we present the analysis of the opinion of students at the Universidad Complutense of Madrid about some aspects of the loan service and hours of libraries. The study was carried out in 2007, by means of the accomplishment of 2,208 personal interviews to students which were selected randomly among the different studies.

Descriptores: Social network sites

Resumen: Social network sites like MySpace, Facebook, LinkedIn or Hi5 have increased their popularity worldwide over the last years, and some libraries and librarians have found some possibilities using them. On this communication those possibilities are explored from two perspectives: users-centered and professionals-centered. Main social network sites are studied, as well as their main features, and several best practices examples are analyzed in order to discover new chances for our public libraries.

Descriptores: Web

Resumen: Mobility and access to web contents and services from any place having an Internet connection are both advantages of using mobile devices like mobile phones, PDAs, smartphones, ultra mobile PCs or ultra low cost PCs. But also new questions arise, mainly related to contents accessibility through that kind of devices: their characteristics, connections and the way people connect to the Internet in motion generate different requirements. Therefore we must question whether it is necessary to adapt web interfaces to such circumstances also in libraries, that find new possibilities to develop new services.

Descriptores: Alfabetización informacional

Resumen: The design of information literacy programs will be one of the fundamental cores of university libraries regarding the European Framework for Higher Education (EEES). The aim of the ALFIN policy will be for students to be able to continue their education throughout their lives, to promote electronic learning and digital literacy as well as to obtain more autonomy in the selection, assessment and transformation of information. Virtual information literacy requires a new professional profile that combines traditional knowledge with information about new technologies and teaching qualities. The development of new technologies such as learning management systems (Moodle, Sakai?), virtual classrooms (Webex, Adobe Connect), as well as Web 2.0 turn up as basic tools in the design of the future information literacy process.

Descriptores: Gestión de la ciencia

Resumen: The more structured is a scientific system and the greater the degree of integration of its entities the more efficient is its management. Curricula vitae (CV) of researchers are documents that collect data on individuals, institutions and works, and seen as a whole, are a potential source of inside information about the scientific activity of a country. But if they are not stored properly it is not possible to use this knowledge to conduct studies on them. Moreover, the absence of a single standardized CV requires the researchers to fill in multiple versions along their professional practice. The Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (Fecyt), together with the entities belonging to the Spanish system of science, technology and enterprises (Secte), have initiated the project Standard Curriculum Vitae. This article describes its operation and underlines the benefits of its implementation.

Descriptores: Open Access

Resumen: The concept of scholarly information and the importance of Open Access is analysed along with the importance that initiative is giving in the academic-scientific field and in society. The model of scholarly communication is studied, as well as, the concerns and problems that could arise. Two paths drive to Open Access: gold road, that suggests the publication of research in OA journals, and green road, whereby authors self archive their papers in repositories, which are other choices to traditional model of scientific dissemination.

Descriptores: Tecnologías de la información

Resumen: The relationship between information technologies and information professionals is becoming more complex in an environment in which, for the first time, standards and legislation are ahead of implementation and there are many hidden commercial interests. One example is the workshop on open document formats organized by the EU. Confrontation between ODF (ISO 26300) and Microsoft?s attempt to convert Ooxml into an open format through ISO was widely debated, but there was little discussion about practical solutions. Adobe?s strategy, opening its formats when free applications are in use, has proved successful.

Descriptores: Tecnologías de la información

Resumen: This is the second part of the analysis of the complex relationships between information technologies and information professionals in an environment in which, for the first time, standards and legislation are ahead of implementation. An example is the different interpretations on how to apply the Spanish ?Law on electronic access of citizens to public services? to electronic records management. The idea that digital signatures should be preserved indefinitely with the electronic records presents an unnecessary technological complexity, when other solutions exist.

Descriptores: Dipòsit digitals

Resumen: The PADICAT, project of the Library of Catalonia to archive the Catalan Web, works in three ways of performance (selective thematic captures, exhaustive captures, agreements with the producing agents), has obtained optimum results of implementation in the alliances from cooperation with 300 institutions and companies of Catalonia; in several thematic actions of selective captures; and in presence in international professional environments; also in several actions of capture systematized of digital resources published in Internet. Anyway, in the processes of exhaustive capture and especially in the search and visualization of the processed information we find the most evident lacks of a system that, all over the world, is not a consolidated reality. The National Library of Catalonia plots the foreseen actions in digital preservation of the web pages, as well as on to normalize that has to become an effective system of conservation of the digital heritage, which gives full guarantees to the producers of the digital resources of Catalonia.

Descriptores: Bibliometría

Resumen: Reference to previous work represents a conceptual association of recognized scientific ideas that are beneficial for the citing author. I.e., a reference is an express recognition of an intellectual compromise towards a previous source of information. After all, advancement of science is supported by previous research. At present, the way to know and to measure the importance of a published item comes through its posterior citations, circumstance that obliges scientific journals to control the pertinence and relevance of the cited work. Therefore, when submitting a manuscript for consideration to a scientific journal, it must be beard in mind that the included references will be examined.

Resumen: Nowadays, the importance of Internet in the librarian world cannot be denied. Each time the number of services offered by libraries in the web is bigger, and literacy promoting activities are one of the aspects which is suffering this increase. We have tried to analyze the presence in the web of book clubs in Spanish public libraries, with the aim of knowing how they are developping, and trying to know if at the present a virtual service can substitute a presencial one. This can seem in contradiction with the own nature of this activity, where a book is just a pretext to get in contact with other people. Taking all this into account, we have located and studied the web pages of public libraies, and we have found diferent realities: very active web pages and others with just testimonial information.

Resumen: The numbers of functions of web browser add-ons are increasing. Such add-ons included the recently launched LibX. This tool enables interaction between libraries? online public access computers (OPAC) and the Web. This paper examines the limitations of this tool, in terms of the automatic detection of data and the automation of tasks. A system (NextLib) is proposed that can overcome these limitations by using a combination of different applications. This system is made up of a semantic database (LibX), a programme for automatically detecting data (Data Detector) and a learning by example (LBE) programme. The integration of these tools may allow greater interaction between the user and a website, and between a website and an OPAC.

Descriptores: higher education

Resumen: This paper takes as general reference the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), whose creation endeavoured an educative approach of all European Union countries. A new educational model needs new skills. The informational skills constitute one of the most important requirements needed by university students in the information society context and they were effectively prioritized in the conception of the new educational models, consequently they should have an impact in the teaching-learning process. So, it is important to know and understand how these university students are prepared in terms of competences and skills, regarding the access, (re)production, use, and diffusion of the information gathered and applied in different contexts. It is also necessary to establish a connection between apprenticeship and the acquisition of informational skills prior to the university, during the university frequency period and at the end of the university degree. This configures a comprehensive approach that will consider the educational context, the student?s informational behaviour and his personal and social contexts and demands. In fact, those concerns and positioning are in the core of the ongoing research project that supports the present paper. It focuses on the issue of informational literacy in the actual Portuguese and European learning models and the determination of the competences contextually acquired and the intrinsic abilities to search and use (reference, assimilate and transform) any type of information. The informational behavior study in focus has two important aspects to consider: the education reforms introduced in the Portuguese pre-university schools; and the transformations introduced by the Bologna Process in the EHEA. This project also intents to contribute to the definition of a strategy that will support the effort of Portuguese universities on getting a good performance in the promotion of information competences. The theoretical-practical model that must be reached shows the importance of the information literacy theory which is clearly emphasized in this paper.

Resumen: Una vez descifrado la secuencia del genoma humano, el paradigma de investigación ha cambiado dando paso a la descripción de las funciones de los genes y a futuros avances en la lucha contra enfermedades. Este nuevo contexto ha despertado el interés de la Bioinformática, que combina métodos de las Ciencias de la Vida con las Ciencias de la Información haciendo posible el acceso a la gran cantidad de información biológica almacenada en las bases de datos, y de la Genómica, dedicada al estudio de las interacciones de los genes y su influencia en el desarrollo de enfermedades. En este contexto, la minería de textos surge como un instrumento emergente para el análisis de la literatura científica. Una tarea habitual de la minería de textos en Biología Molecular y Genómica es el reconocimiento de entidades biológicas, tales como genes, proteínas y enfermedades. El paso siguiente en el proceso de minería lo constituye la identificación entre entidades biológicas, tales como el tipo de interacción entre gengen, gen-enfermedad, gen-proteína, para interpretar funciones biológicas, o formular hipótesis de investigación. El objetivo de este trabajo es examinar el auge y las limitaciones la nueva generación de herramientas de análisis de la información en lenguaje natural, almacenada en bases de datos bibliográficas, como PubMed o MEDLINE.

Descriptores: Finite-State Transduces

Resumen: This chapter presents the different standardization methods of terms at the two basic approaches, non-linguistic and linguistic techniques, and to justify the application of processes based on Finite-State Transducers (FST). Standardization of terms is the procedure of matching and grouping together variants of the same term that are semantically equivalent. A term variant is a text occurrence that is conceptually related to an original term and can be used to search for information in text database. The uniterm and multiterm variants can be considered equivalent units for the purposes of automatic indexing. This chapter describes the computational and linguistic base of the finite-state approach, with emphasis on the influence of the formal language theory in the standardization process of uniterms and multiterms. The lemmatization and the use of syntactic pattern-matching, through equivalence relations represented in FST, are emerging methods for the standardization of terms.

Descriptores: Text-Mining

Resumen: Biomedical text-mining have great promise to improve the usefulness of genomic researchers. The goal of text-mining is analyzed large collections of unstructured documents for the purposes of extracting interesting and non-trivial patterns of knowledge. The analysis of biomedical texts and available databases, such as Medline and PubMed, can help to interpret a phenomenon, to detect gene relations, or to establish comparisons among similar genes in different specific databases. All these processes are crucial for making sense of the immense quantity of genomic information. In genomics, text-mining research refers basically to the creation of literature networks of related biological entities. Text data represent the genomics knowledge base and can be mined for relationships, literature networks, and new discoveries by literature relational chaining. However, text-mining is an emerging field without a clear definition in the genomics. This work presents some applications of text-mining to genome-based research, such as the genomic term identification in curation processes, the formulation of hypotheses about disease, the visualization of biological relationships, or the life-science domain mapping.

Descriptores: internship

Resumen: In degrees related to technical professions, cooperation between university ?teaching its theoretical foundations? and professional world, is necessary to ensure that training is nor abstract neither unrealistic. Internship or placement programs give to students the chance to combine theory and practice in a subject, applying theoretical concepts to a work environment, and inducing new knowledge from practical activities. Students become actors and responsible for their learning. Professors and internship center advisors are other players involved in this process. To ensure its success, all three must believe firmly that internship programs are educational and learning processes. As an instance, the internship model at Universitat de Barcelona LIS Faculty is presented. It is based on good relations between centers and the Faculty. The current internship syllabus is explained, as well as some features of the new curriculum, adapted to ECTS. Located in the seventh semester (of eight), internship is directly linked to other subjects; so, students may take advantage from the stage educational value to enhance their performance in other subjects. The comprehensive nature of internship allows students developing their ability to associate ideas and concepts, analysis and synthesis. Student assessment also aims to be comprehensive, assessing theoretical knowledge, practical skills and abilities, through an evaluation shared by advisors and professors, with written and oral parts. Some problems detected in interns (misconception of the internship educational nature, bad written and oral expression) are useful to propose corrective elements in the new curriculum. Students also evaluate the development and quality of internships.

Descriptores: Publishers assesment

Resumen: It has often been observed that evaluating scientific activity in the Humanities and in some of the Social Sciences needs to involve a study of monographs, as they are often the preferred mean of publication by scientists in these fields. As well as being the most frequently cited publication type, monographs are also the mean most often used to publish research findings. Thus, if they are not included in the evaluation process, a significant part of the scientific output is excluded, and the scientific activity undervalued. The purpose of this work in progress is to push forward the study of monographs to provide evaluators of research activities with a number of consistent scholar books quality indicators, through two different approaches: a survey of more than 200 researchers working in various fields and in-depth interviews with the editors responsible for selecting manuscripts at each of the best-regarded publishers.

Descriptores: Ontologies

Resumen: Bioinformatics manages the information that has been gathered in databases since the advent of the molecular biology technological revolution. The successful research is based in interpretations of that information that can be accessed and managed computationally, which is a dif?cult task. An attempt to solve that problem is to use ontologies. Ontologies are computational formalisations of the knowledge about a given domain, allowing computers to manage the information in a semantic level. In medical informatics, ontologies have been used for a longer period of time to produce controlled lexicons for coding schemes. Bio-ontologies define the basic terms and relations in biological domains and are being used among others, as community reference, as the basis for interoperability between systems, and for search, integration and exchange of biological data. The most successful ontologies applied in Bioinformatics are the ones in the Open Biomedical Ontologies (OBO) project. At the same time, the Web Ontology Language (OWL) is a official proposal for ontologies implementation in the semantic web. In this article, we review the current position in bio-ontologies. We review this trend and what benefits it might bring to ontologies and their use within biomedicine.

Resumen: The Vasco-Leonesa Coalmine Company Archive, kept and managed by the Vasco-Leonesa Coalmine Foundation (La Robla, León) has a fundamental importance for studying coalmining in Spain and its role as the engine of Spanish industrial development. It includes, as one of its records groups, documents kept about mining activity in the Palencia coalfields of Barruelo and Orbó, from the first operations in 1838. In 1877, Crédito Mobiliario Español sold the mines to the Compañía de los Caminos de Hierro del Norte de España, which included them in the companyÇs organisatios chart in its Rolling Stock and Traction Service. Operating problems, a great amount of mine infrastructure work and rising salary costs led the company to decide to separate mine ownership from railway operations, forming Minas de Barruelo S.A. in 1922, whose only customer was the Railroad Company. This article analyses the records series researchers must consult to find out about these historical events, their external characteristics, the legislation used as the foundatios and the information they provide.

Descriptores: Acces to information

Resumen: Problems with subject access to online catalogues and databases are not new. Studies on the use of OPACs have revealed two apparently endemic problems: on the one hand, the large number of searches with zero hits (failed searches) and on the other, the retrieval of an excessive amount of bibliographic records (information overload). In this paper we describe a new information retrieval technique based on the combination of descriptor weighting and the use of the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) call numbers. The use of classification call numbers in order to search the catalogue has traditionally been very restricted. In most catalogues, call numbers are used only as topographical indicators and are not searchable. The new system described here makes much fuller use of them. The system is based on the hypothesis that a set of descriptors correspond to a UDC call number. Through the analysis of the frequency of distribution of descriptors and call numbers, we create a set of clusters that allow increasing precision and recall. At the same time, these clusters offer alternative search modes, making it possible to systematize the indexing process and increase its consistency. Here we present a case study of the use of the system with the ERIC database.

Resumen: The growth and proliferation of media during the past century and the present, seems secure for now the demand for professionals in the journalistic documentation, called with increasing frequency and perhaps more accurate, 'information content managers?. The reform of the plans of study opens the possibility of modifying those discordant questions among the training of the professionals of the documentation, 'managers of content' and their employment prospects, according to the real demands of professional profiles in the labour market in Spain. The digitalization poses challenges for the information units in television and for the professionals working with them, who should obtain a new knowledge and should develop new aptitudes in a relatively short term, if they want to face up successfully the change of the professional role, which they will have to carry out in this new environment.

Resumen: The evolution of information technology and its relationship with libraries is reviewed, from the end of the twentieth century to the present, with a discussion of libaries? response to technological changes, especially the internet and the web. A case study focuses on a small public library in Muskiz (Bizkaia/Biscay province), and its use of the social web to offer new library services. Cheaper access to technology may shift the capacity for innovation, from centres that have resources to acquire and manage proprietary solutions to institutions that modify their products and processes using open web services. We describe how scale affects a library?s access to technology and positions it in technological discontinuity: in the 20th century, technology was on the side of larger structures but currently they are penalized.

Descriptores: Web 2.0

Resumen: The quality of access to Internet determines, increasingly, the quality of the process of information. In this paper the conditions of use of the technology that allow the library to have access to quality services are analyzed. Once overcome the technological barriers (acquisition, curve of learning) we believe necessary to win a last obstacle: the mental one. The library remains anchored in an analogical model of management that prevents its access to the Internet in competitive conditions. Three are the barriers to overcome: the ferrous control of the administration as for information, the obstacles to the utilization of the new tools for safety issues and the excessive weight that still we grant to the management of traditional paper materials in the library. The use of the main tools of the social web are revised and the innovations got in Muskiz's library giving a use not foreseen to social tagging, to microblogging, to chat and to the initial pages are described. To combine our traditional skills with the spirit and the tools of the web participative at the moment of managing the information of the library favors the innovation in the services that we offer, the application of new forms of management and makes a more fluid and immediate relation possible with the patrons.

Resumen: Description of the situation of public and school libraries in Catalonia and trends of future. The Catalan public libraries are articulated in nets, but they are still far away to give full access to their full information trough a unique platform. From the point of view of offering services, it is necessary to modify the behaviors of stagnation in the rendering of librarian services, in favour of increasing the quality of the classical services and at the same time to promote new services according to the phenomenon of the attention economy. Public libraries are shown as tools of integration of diverse public, and also as democratic impulse in all the spheres of the society. It is analyzed the present, necessarily gray, and the possible future of school libraries in Catalonia. Public and school libraries must help the new generations to becoming autonomous in the use of the information.

Descriptores: Television archives

Resumen: The documentalist?s role of intermediation between the users and the archive in images searching seems to be undergoing a number of changes. This intermediation, based on a combination of the habits of the users in searching information and the lack of a user friendly orientation in many of the information management systems, contrasts with the general idea of accessibility conveyed by the new digital production systems. This paper analyses the consequences of these changes, and presents a new approach to the relation between documentalists and users based on the anticipation of their information needs, as an alternative to the traditional answer to question scheme. Some ongoing experiences in Antena 3 Television that follow this approach are also described.

Descriptores: Alfabetización digital

Resumen: Human beings tend to react to the words by their antonymous. The first thing that comes to the mind when speaking of literacy is in the illiterate. Unfortunately, this word has a very strong antonymous and with highly negative social and cultural implications. This is one of the great criticisms to the tendency to call ?literacy? to this ongoing renewal of the capacities of learning and communicating. In this article we agree with those thinkers who state that the word ?literacy?, meaning the ability to read and write, has gradually extended its scope of application in the digital era to move to mean the ability to use the information and communications technologies and to understand the information, whatever its format. We present literacy as a constant and permanent learning process which should continue during life so that people can be functional for their family life, for the society and for the organizations in which they work, in this new paradigm called ?Information Society?. Digital Literacy is the last step known in this escalation towards the Information Society. We are in the middle of a permanent process of transformation which compels us to rethink our relationship with reality and we must be prepared to act accordingly since time and availability and the access to information have become key elements of survival in this new Society.

Descriptores: Academic libraries -- Planning

Resumen: In recent years, the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC) Library has undertaken activities aimed at promoting reading among its users, who include students, lecturers, and administrative and service staff. The main aim is to offer a wide range of library collections and information resources to complement the resources and library services that support engineering, architecture and nautical studies degrees, and the UPC?s science and technology research areas and areas of interest. The Library?s strategic plans have led to resources being allocated for joint and local development of a wide range of activities to promote reading of both printed and electronic material. These activities include acquiring literary collections, creating web portals that provide easy access to a wealth of well-organised digital resources, and holding promotional events such as exhibitions and competitions. All of these activities have stimulated the reading habits of library users?who are mainly technical staff and students taking technical degrees?in other, not exclusively technical fields. The UPC Library conceives of the act of reading in an open and integrative way that embraces all literary genres, reading for education and work-related reading. In addition, the technology revolution has led to the expansion of the concept of reading to include all of the current and future new media. Technology is not destroying the habit of reading; reading has instead become the key to the information society. In this article, we briefly summarise the Library?s proposed objectives and its most significant projects. We also assess the results of these projects. Since its foundation, the main objective of the UPC Library has been to organise the scientific and technical information that its users need for their studies and research, and to make this information readily available. However, it is increasingly important for future engineers to acquire cross-disciplinary skills and abilities that are valid for life. It is essential to develop good reading habits, broad cultural knowledge and a critical spirit, in order to understand the environment. Libraries must be involved in the acquisition of these skills. Therefore, the activities discussed in this article, which are already underway, will continue in the coming years, and will be particularly important from 2010 onwards, when the new European Higher Education Area will come into effect.

The Registry of Open Access Repositories (ROAR) and the Directory of Open Access Repositories (OpenDOAR) have in their records 32 and 22 open access repositories from Spain, respectively, but these figures do not represent the real ones, since there are more that have not registered yet (see BUSCA REPOSITORIOS ), and others that are listed in those directories which are not repositories but journals or aggregators The oldest repository in Spain Tesis Doctorals en Xarxa (?Networked Doctoral Theses?) was created in year 2001, but most of the Spanish institutional repositories emerged at the end of 2004 or the beginning of 2005 (Melero, 2006). Nevertheless, there is evidence that more have been created and announced in recent months (Melero, 2007). These data do not correlate with the DRIVER I inventory study in which the response of the 12 invited (those registered at that time in OpenDOAR) was very low (3 answers). However, the international presence of our repositories, measured as participations in OA initiatives, is increasing as described below. Respect to Spanish forums, related to repositories and in general to the OA movement, at least there are 3 very active: the OS-Repositorios (= Open Science-Repositories), GUDE (Dspace Spanish users group) Open Access Madrimasd ( A. Lopez?s blog supported by Madrid Regional Government and ). The first two groups hold meetings and workshops periodically about hot topics related to repository issues. Based on OpenDOAR records, Dspace and ePrints are the software used most to implement repositories. Most Spanish repositories (78 %) are institutional, mainly created by universities. The commonest types of repositories are those archiving conference and workshop papers, theses and dissertations, and research papers (pre and post prints). The growth of Spanish repositories with time, from data provided by ROAR, seems to fall into three types: plateau, stairstep and steady growth. The clearest growth behaviour is the one of TDX, which has followed the steady pattern. The first model responds to repositories in which digital objects are deposited regularly along the time, the second and the third ones are those in which uploads are done by batches of different size at different intervals of time, as has been observed previously in other repositories (Davis and Connolly, 2007). In Spain there are different initiatives, at regional and national level, to develop services on top of the existing repositories. At the regional level, the Autonomous Communities of Catalonia and Madrid are the most active, because their respective territories account for most of the existing institutional repositories in Spain. The services are implemented through the Library Consortia of each Autonomous Community. The Autonomous Community of Madrid and the ?Consorcio Madroño? (Libraries of the public Universities of Madrid and UNED) have created a regional scientific portal, ?e-ciencia?, which gives free access to academic research output in the Region of Madrid from the 7 participant universities and the Spanish National Research Council. Currently the portal contains about 19.000 documents, 100% open access. The documents are mostly textual (except from a collection of about 8.000 audio/video documents from the UNED library) and only academic and scientific in scope. The portal offers a central search service but is also developing such other services as a regional citation service, metadata export, and statistics. The repositories have created sets by type of document and subject to offer; in the near future there will be thematic search engines and gateways. It also offers copyright issues advice to libraries and researchers. It has translated the ?licence to publish? from the Zwolle Project. The portal is also helping the participant institutions to work together with common standards; the participants? repositories are already working in compliance with the Driver guidelines. This project is strongly supported by the Government of the Autonomous Community of Madrid, that as a funding agency recommends strongly researchers it funds to self-archive in the Institutional repositories harvested by the portal. The Catalan Consortia, CBUC, from the Autonomous Community of Catalonia, works with a slightly different model: it has created two aggregating or inter-institutional repositories: ?Recercat?, a cooperative repository of digital documents, works as a common institutional repository for the universities in Catalonia that do not have their own local institutional repository and at the same time it harvests the content of the universities that do have their own institutional repository. It contains research literature from universities and researching centres of Catalonia, like preprints, communications in congress, research reports, working papers, university final projects, technical reports, etc. (2.778 documents). TDX is also a cooperative repository of theses from different universities of Spain (19 universities are currently participating, 5.240 thesis). Both repositories are 100% open access. At the national level the initiative is leaded by the Network of Academic and Research University Libraries of Spain, REBIUN. Co-funded by the Minister of Education, REBIUN has created the national open access research portal, ?Recolecta?, just released in February, 2008. The portal has been inspired by DareNet in the Netherlands, the information platform open-access.net in Germany, and DRIVER. The portal wants to be not only the central access and dissemination point of Spanish research, but to give the development of institutional repositories in Spain a sense of a national endeavour, to make the diverse landscape of Spanish repositories a true infrastructure, and to increase capacity of influence in terms of open access policies. The portal will establish some recommendations in order to be harvested and some specifications to participate in the services which will be implemented; and these specifications will be based on the DRIVER guidelines and the DINI Certificate. For this reason, the project has translated both documents. At the same time, copyright issues remain a key problem for the success of the population of our repositories, and the portal will offer advice on the matter. It has translated the Sherpa/ROMEO interface.

Resumen: Inspai, the Image Centre of the Diputació de Girona, is a specialised public service that provides facilities and specific equipment dedicated to image (both fixed and moving images). The introduction and utilisation of the information and communication technologies in our society has brought about an increase in the number of users and has had an effect on and transformed the types of users and their relationship with the centres that manage information and documentation. As a result, virtual users have become more numerous and more important. The objective of this communication is to outline our experience based on an original initiative connected with this changed situation. The idea is to create a new virtual space at our centre in Second Life, a three-dimensional virtual world which has millions of people registered with it worldwide. The intention is to make available to the public (expert and non-expert alike) all information related with the spheres of action, services and resources, as well as the photographic and audiovisual fonds kept at the Image Centre.

Descriptores: Higher Education European Space

Resumen: The adaptation of the Pontificia Comillas University of Madrid Library and its professional staff to the new concept of library, required by the new European guidelines can be mainly seen in the users' training area. In the context of the new EEES and the new degrees, during the last two academic years we have applied a new experience that goes beyond the basic training of users. This is about the active contribution and collaboration in the documentation subject in the Translation and Interpretation degree. This contribution has two clearly different axes, as it includes a programme with theoretical units and, the students have to present a bilingual lexicographic essay at the end. For the theoretical area, the librarians, as the specialists in this subject, we presented some subjects: information units, how to search and value the information, classifications and thesaurus. In the practical area, we guided them through the different sources of specialised information so that they could carry away the research for their essays. They were taught about the different supports and different sources, quality, open access, learning to find the information efficiently and appropriately, to choose it, to value it and to know how to use it in a legal and ethic manner. With this relation, not only we are contributing to the new concept of teaching focussed in the learning aspects, but we are also aiming to build the library as an active part of the University, directly linked with the degrees and the formation of teachers.

Resumen: The objective of the study is the analysis of catalonian universities scientific production in the period 2000-2004. It has been calculated indicators by university about scientific activity, visibility, impact, power research, citation, selfcitation, regional and international collaboration. The empirical evidences show a stratified university system, without a clear specialization in their activities of research. The network of international collaboration by countries with Catalan universities has been drawn graphically. The universities as a whole prefer to collaborate with the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and Italy and obtain better visibility when they sign his works with authors in English language.

Descriptores: Co-authorship

Resumen: Purpose ? The purpose of this paper is to visualize the inter-university and international collaboration networks generated by Spanish universities based on the co-authorship of scientific articles. Design/methodology/approach ? The approach takes the form of formulation based on a bibliometric analysis of Spanish university production from 2000 to 2004 as contained in Web of Science databases, applying social network visualization techniques. The co-authorship data used were extracted with the total counting method from a database containing 100,710 papers. Findings ? Spanish inter-university collaboration patterns appear to be influenced by both geographic proximity and administrative and political affiliation. Inter-regional co-authorship encompasses regional sub-networks whose spatial scope conforms rather closely with Spanish geopolitical divisions. Papers involving international collaboration are written primarily with European Union and North and Latin American researchers. Greater visibility is attained with international co-authorship than with any other type of collaboration studied. Research limitations/implications ? Impact was measured in terms of journals rather than each individual paper. The co-authorship data were taken from the Web of Knowledge and were not compared with data from other databases. Practical implications ? The data obtained in the paper may provide guidance for public policy makers seeking to enhance and intensify the internationalization of scientific production in Spanish universities. Originality/value ? The Spanish university system is in the midst of profound structural change. This is the first paper to describe Spanish university collaboration networks using social network visualization techniques, covering an area not previously addressed. Paper type Research paper

Descriptores: coauthorship networks

Resumen: Introduction: In an economy geared to innovation and competitiveness in research and development activities, inter-relationships between the university, private enterprise and government are of considerable interest. Networking constitutes a priority strategy to attain this strategic objective and a tool in knowledge-based economies. Method: Drawing from a full inventory of co-authored scientific articles, collaborating networks are defined and analysed with the social network analysis method, using Pajek software and graphed with the Kamada-Kawai algorithm for visualization. Analysis: Scientific production involving intraregional collaboration in the Madrid region is analysed across three subject categories. The data used were taken from the Web of Science for the years 1995-2003. The main indicators of social networking obtained were: density average degree, normalized degree and degree centralization, betweenness centralization, closeness centralization and clustering coefficient. Results: Networking led to a moderate rise in the number of links and participating actors, with more Spanish companies and multi-national subsidiaries in the second period. The largest number of links was recorded for public universities located in the Community of Madrid. Conclusions: The data resulting from the social network analysis conducted provided insight into the structural characteristics of the networks generated and their evolution. The visualization methodology used proved to be highly informative for identifying not only the main actors, but clusters and components as well. The analysis afforded a useful perspective for understanding the dynamics of collaborating networks.

Resumen: This paper shows maps of the web presence of the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) on the level of universities using hyperlinks and analyses the topology of the European academic network. Its purpose is to combine methods from Social Network Analysis (SNA) and cybermetric techniques in order to ask for tendencies of integration of the European universities visible in their web presence and the role of different universities in the process of the emergence of an European Research Area. We find as a main result that the European network is set up by the aggregation of well-defined national networks, whereby the German and British networks are dominant. The national networks are connected to each other through outstanding national universities in each country.

Resumen: 1 Introduction World University Ranking on the Web (webometrics.info) is one of the most important ranking about higher education performance, and, concretely, the principal according to the web dimension of these academic institutions. Its principal wisdom is to cover a large amount of universities which are not present in similar educational rankings. This property allows us to develop a visual picture of the outstanding universities around the World, studying their relationships and their position in a structural dimension. 2 Objectives The purpose of this communication is to present a visual display of the 1,000 most important universities in the World according to the ranking of Webometrics.info. This map intends to show the topological characteristics of this kind of networks and to describe how the relationships among universities of different countries and continents are. 3 Methods We have selected the first 1,000 high education institutions from the World University Ranking on the Web. A link matrix among this set of universities was built, extracting the data from Yahoo! Search in February 2008. The following queries were used to obtain the links from the university domain (A) to the university domain (B): site:{university domain (A)} linkdomain:{university domain (B)} and the total number of pages indexed in the university domain (A): site: {university domain (A)} Several variables have been used in order to add information about the network configuration. Nodes size shows the volume of web pages that each university makes available on the Web. Colours represent the nationality of each high education organization. Arc size shows the frequency of links between two university domains. We have used Pajek 1.02 to visualise the network. We have selected a cut-off of more than 50 links to improve the network visualization. We have also used the Fruchterman-Reingold algorithm to lay out the network because is the fastest energizing large networks [de NOOY, MRVAR and BATAGELJ, 2005]. 4 Results Figure 1 shows the obtained graph from the 1,000 high education institutions. Firstly, we can appreciate that each university is linked with the universities of its own country. Thus, we can visually detect homogeneous national groups such as Germany (red), UK (green light) or Japan (orange) [ORTEGA, AGUILLO, COTHEY and SCHARHORST, 2008]. However, we can also see that there is countries that do not constitute a compact group such as France (dark blue), Canada (white) and other countries with a small set of universities as Netherlands (dark red). The graph also shows linguistic [THELWALL, TANG and PRICE, 2003] and geographical relationships [THELWALL, 2002]. The European countries are located in the right side of the picture, while the left side is mainly taken up by Asian and American ones. We can also observe that the size is related with the link attraction, because the large universities are located in the core of the network. Nevertheless, we detect countries, concretely Asian ones (China, Japan and Taiwan), with large universities that are far from the core. We suppose that may be caused by a low development of English pages by these countries [VAUGHAN and THELWALL, 2004].

Resumen: Universities, research institutes as reference in which it generates new knowledge, they are active agents in the processes of international cooperation. The study characterized the international scientific cooperation of the Spanish universities developed from 2000 to 2004. The data for the analysis of the co-authorship of scientific publications of these international centers, are collected by the company Thomson Reuters, through its Web of Science platform, with an own methodology of the theory of social networks. The results of this characterization are shown using six representations heliocentric (a representation for the countries with which most papers have been signed on cooperation, in which all countries are grouped into nine regions and four performances that match four regions: Latin America , Africa, Middle East and Asia). This type of representation is most suitable for integrating into a single image data of the relationship, the volume of scientific production in international collaboration of the countries involved in the process, the visibility achieved by this collaboration with a benchmark of their value and half of the membership of countries in different regions.

Resumen: Despite its long existence and international acceptance, network theory and analysis is a practically unknown approach in Documentation, both theoretically and methodologically speaking. Fortunately, this trend is changing, inasmuch as network theory and analysis may mean a quantitative and qualitative leap forward in the representation and analysis of the structure of all types of scientific domains, whether geographic, thematic or institutional. The extraordinary advances that have taken place in recent years in the study and analysis of complex networks have been made possible by a number of parallel developments. First of all, with computerized data acquisition and handling, large databases can bemanaged, leading to the emergence of different real network topologies. Secondly, the increase in computing power has made it possible to explore networks with millions of nodes. Thirdly, there is the slow but sure breakdown of boundaries between disciplines. This can be seen by researchers because of their ability to access and use databases that facilitate an understanding of the generic properties of complex networks.

Descriptores: Scientific Collaboration

Resumen: From the perspective of Library Science and Information Science, little research has yet been conducted on scientific networking and its possible uses in ascertaining the composition of research groups, the differences in associations between specialities or departments, and the different policies that may be followed in this regard, depending on the institution or the domain analyzed. Traditionally, most studies on scientific collaboration have been geared to analyzing output, be it international or domestic, of a given scientific discipline or a research institution. Studies on smaller units such as departments or research groups are less common. This work focuses on a specific facet of scientific communication networks, namely scientific co-authorship networks, based on the premise that scientific communication is the essence of research, and research is only known as such when it has been analyzed and accepted by the scientific community, which gives it the status of a social activity. The use of the term ?scientific communication?, therefore, means deliberately limiting considerations on communication to a specific group of individuals (authors directly involved in the creation of original research work): those engaging in a well-defined activity and having very specific objectives. The main objective of this work is to identify, characterize and interpret research groups in Carlos III University of Madrid using empirical analysis, through the examination and visualization of scientific networking based on co-authorship papers. The findings obtained will contribute to a better understanding of network dynamics and of how they affect network topology and the internal structure of links among such research groups, and by extension, how they affect the higher-level administrative units of which they form a part. To this end, this work will try to achieve two specific objectives: on one hand, to model and characterize co-authorship networks by calculating indicators of the properties of nodes and links that describe sizes and neighbourhoods in subgraphs, as well as to obtain comprehensive measurements that statistically characterize the structure of network interconnections as a whole. On the other hand, to create specialized network-based visualizations, including diagrams of nodes and links, that can be used as interfaces to retrieve information. These interfaces provide data on the element matrices and on the values of their attributes in a clear, easily understood, explanatory and interactive way. They facilitate an understanding of the structural context represented, transmitting detailed information to the user about a variety of aspects relating to scientific collaboration and its evolution over time, such as administrative position, gender, speciality areas of research and the internal and external association patterns among authors.

Descriptores: Scientific collaboration

Resumen: Governmental initiatives around scientific policy have progressively raised collaboration to priority status. In this context, a need has arisen to broaden the traditional approach to the analysis and study of research results by descending to the group or even the individual scale and supplementing the output-, productivity?, visibility- and impact-based focus with new measures that emphasize collaboration from the vantage of structural analysis. To this end, the present paper proposes new hybrid indicators for the analysis and evaluation of individual research results, popularity and prestige, that combine bibliometric and structural aspects. A case study was conducted of the nine most productive departments in Carlos III University of Madrid. The findings showed hybridization to be a tool sensitive to traditional indicators, but also to the new demands of modern science as a self-organized system of interaction among individuals, furnishing information on researchers' environments and the behaviour and attitudes adopted within those environments.

Resumen: Introduction. The article approaches the situation in Spain of actions related to the Open Archives Initiative Protocol for Metadata Harvesting (OAI-PMH), used for the harvesting and diffusion of metadata for documents. The type of digital libraries, under this protocol, is experiencing worldwide development with institutional repositories developed mainly by academic organizations. Method. International inventories have been consulted and have contrasted the data through two types of surveys. Analysis. Studying the state of implantation of OAI-PMH in Spain. Conclusions. The situation in 2006 was encouraging in terms of number of projects, but less so in terms of the amount of stored data. It is necessary to remedy the omissions and errors in the official international registers and measures are required in Spain for coordination to enable profitable investments. Finally, the lack of studies such as presented here hinders the understanding of this area and therefore the application of indicators to assess the dissemination of science through open archives.

Resumen: This poster studies the current state of the development of OAI repositories in Spain, Portugal and Latin America with two objectives: -First, to provide a map of the status of all kinds of initiatives OAI; -Second, deepening the search for indicators to measure the data distribution efficiency. Spain, Portugal and Latin America are united by historical, cultural and linguistic ties which make possible to carry out a unique study about OAI. There are relationships between the professional communities which go beyond the simple geographical proximity. Nevertheless the fact that there is no record of the OAI projects it Latin America makes it quite difficult to locate them and to evaluate the open access movement penetration in these geographical areas.

Resumen: Launched in 2007 by the Basque Government Department of Culture and the Basque Government IT services company, the Basque web capture project joins forces with European and international initiatives to harvest and conserve the online digital heritage. Projects launched in the mid-90s both by national libraries and private organisations and which have given an enormous boost to the development of tools and directives for conservation of the born digital heritage. In this document, we describe the setting in motion of Ondarenet ( www.euskadi.net/ondarenet), an information system permitting collection, conservation and distribution of the Basque web. The software used for this project is the Toolkit proposed by the International Internet Preservation Consortium (IIPC). Used by most existing similar international initiatives, these open-source tools are relatively easy to install and maintain (Heritrix, NutchWAX, WebCurator and Wayback). This is an ambitious project which, like all historical archives, harnesses documents and creates collections for their custody with a view to the preservation of a country?s historical memory, a memory in this case presented in the shape of collections consisting of born-digital resources.

Resumen: Survey of the group of high-impact scientific Spanish journals about History, Art, Philology and Geography, so as to provide researchers with sources where to publish and get coverage and visibility for their studies among the scientific community. The journals? sample, which is the review?s focus, has been extracted from the five lists of the most important periodic Spanish publications according to two criteria: its impact index must be above 0 and their presence in the five lists. The first aspect to be analyzed is the presence of this group of journals in ISI?s database from two points of view: indexed journals by the ISI and journals comprised in the Journal Citation Reports. The second factor is the occurrence or not of these journals in specific and relevant directories and their occurrence in national and international databases, considered by the ANECA as a quality reference in their subjects. Besides, full-text journals? presence is assessed in Dialnet and other open access platforms. The advantages of open access for scientific progress and for democratization of scientific literature will be articulated.

Descriptores: virtual laboratory

Resumen: Frequently the choice of a library management program is conditioned by social, economic and/or political factors that result in the selection of a system that is not altogether suitable for the library?s needs, characteristics and functions. Open source software is quickly becoming a preferred solution, owing to the freedom to copy, modify and distribute it and the freedom from contracts, as well as for greater opportunities for interoperability with other applications. These new trends regarding open source software in libraries are also reflected in LIS studies, as evidenced by the different courses addressing automated programs, repository management, including the Linux/GNU operating system, among others. The combination of the needs of the centres and the new trends for open source software is the focus of a virtual laboratory for the use of open source software for library applications. It was the result of a project, whose aim was to make a useful contribution to the library community, that was carried out by a group of professors of the School of Library and Information Science of the University of Barcelona, together with a group of students, members of a Working Group on Open Source Software for Information Professionals, of the Professional Library Association of Catalonia.

Descriptores: Official publication

Resumen: The culture of the Information Society pervades unquestionablily our professional proposals and performances. They could not elude official publications of Central Administration and their management. The increasing demand of transparency necessarily entails a new scheme of information organization about publishing activity. The current technological resources enable new ways of working, leading to new information resources and, therefore, to opening of information sources for citizens. The confluence of domestic demand (managers) and external one (users), together with the transparency requirement, forms a new organizational model based on information and communication technologies; SICOPO is built on this model. In order to represent the change in the new information organization of official publications it is necessary to remember that what was considered at the moment ?grey literature? in the traditional bibliography is available on the Web at this moment.

Descriptores: Disabled people

Resumen: The suppression of barriers and of obstacles of all types, such as infrastructures, social and cultural, constitutes a subject of public interest and a preoccupation that has been shaped (sometimes by legal imperative) to adapt infrastructures and services so that these are accessible to all citizens in society; being thus obtained to reach one of the more important constitutional rights, the equality of opportunities. For some time, the world of computer science also has had to begin its particular adaptation to be able to be accessible to people with incapacities. In order to improve the accessibility of information to people with disabilities it is important to know the different types of disabled people, the numbers of disabled population in Spain (general and visual) and the percentage corresponding of this population with access to Internet. It is also important to know the difficulties, of physical or technical nature, that manly prevent their access to Internet, in order to find solutions that facilitate the accessibility to the information systems with a minimum or practically null cost; by means of a systematic study of those cases of use in which the blind people find the majors difficulties. Regarding the above, our work focus on the blind population, trying to contribute with the information of the state of the art, essential for the development of later suitable implementations, in order to facilitate the implantation and adoption of the specifications of accessibility to the code developers.

Resumen: As a result of the higher education transformation, libraries are gradually changing into Learning Centres (LC). So that this change could be possible, more resources to fit the new European degree structure are needed. Besides, to bring new ideas is essential to really satisfy students, researchers and administration staff prospects. All of them have new demands and show a new informational behaviour. From now on, both services and library resources must be managed from the informational user?s needs approach more than from a sheer traditional librarian approach. Then, it is relevant to consider building LC from the user?s perspective and be ready to innovate with him. It is the time to look for collaborations within the University and to develop effective communication with library users. The library of the 21st century is no more a static service but à la carte service (just in time and just for me) and the focus must be in raising quality while applying technology and all new digital tools. This article aims at bringing ideas for the evolution of libraries into more flexible services for our new user?s rhythms. LC are alive centres, always on the move, with permanent and specific services within an integrated environment. Experiences of 2.0 libraries from different countries are described; also innovative ideas to develop information literacy skills and tips for a ubiquitous and flexible LC are suggested.

Descriptores: open access archive

Resumen: The problem of the inconsistencies in the authors' signatures has been around for many years, but its significance is increasing due to the great number of people publishing research studies and papers. It is clear that that this is important to always sign in the same way. In the case of the Spanish names, the problem is increased since * there are more choices and * English is the principal language of scientific communication, both in the production (articles, communications, reports), distribution (databases, repositories, browsers) and in the industry as a whole (Publishing houses, compilers, intermediaries, portals etc.). The producers of databases follow a standard worldwide model of signature which is used not only by the Anglo-Saxons, but also by many other countries (Nordic, Slavic, Italian...). Even the Portuguese, when they have compound names and surnames, put the surname of the father at the end. Another thing to bear in mind in the recovery of works by author's name is that the distributors of databases index the author field only 'as a phrase' and not by separate words as in the rest of the fields, or by both at the same time as in the describers. Thus, for example, if the author Antonia Ferrer Sapena appears in the reverse index of authors as AU=Ferrer-Sapena, A., she can never be located searching for AU=Sapena. The IraLIS project has been thought up above all for Spanish-speaking countries, which is where the largest number of ambiguities appears due to the length of the signatures and the fact that the surname considered to be the main one does not appear at the end. Nevertheless, whilst perhaps not being so serious, problems in the identification of authors arise in all languages (even in the Anglo-Saxon countries) for which reason any person may introduce their details. IraLIS aims to be universal, for which invites Arabic, Chinese, Indian, Japanese, Korean, etc., authors to introduce their names transliterated into English in IraLIS, given that the correct interpretation of their names is also frequently conflictive. Anybody who studies and/or works in any aspect of science may register in IraLIS. Whether they have already published works, or are planning to do so in the future, they can (and should) open a file in IraLIS. The sooner they adopt an iralis signature, the fewer problems they will encounter in the future localizing of their works. We would like to present the details and the first results of the collaboration between IraLIS and E-LIS established in 2008. E-LIS is the largest international Open Archive for Library and Information Science established in 2003 with over 9,000 papers and with more than 5500 users. One of the last improvements in E-LIS is to link to IraLIS so when typing in the names of the authors during upload of documents, a dropdown menu shows the IraLIS registered names. The menu is updated automatically every night to collect the new iralized names. To deposit documents in E-LIS it is not required to register in IraLIS, but it is highly advisable to do it in order to standardize the signature and to be able to recover all the personal bibliography without further trouble.

Descriptores: open access archive

Resumen: Established in 2003, E-LIS ( http://eprints.rclis.org) is an international Open Archive for Library and Information Science (LIS). Over 9,000 papers have been archived to date. It is freely accessible, aligned with the Open Access movement and is a voluntary enterprise. E-LIS has grown to include a team of volunteer editors from 60 countries and support for 22 languages. It accepts published or unpublished documents in scientific or technical areas; authors can self-archive and a proxy service supports depositors. Metadata are set for each document type and are checked in accordance with editorial guidelines set by an international editorial committee and there are agreements with institutions and library associations in various countries. In few years, E-LIS has been established as the largest international open repository in the field of library and information science. Searching or browsing E-LIS is a kind of multilingual, multicultural experience, an example of what could be accomplished through open access archives to bring the peoples of the world together. Because librarians are so involved in open access advocacy, E-LIS is a key to encouraging open access for all repositories, by giving librarians the experience they need to speak with confidence when talking with researchers and open access archives, and the experience to provide the best possible assistance to self-archiving faculty. The mission of E-LIS is to remain international and world-wide: a place where people from all over the world can deposit their documents and contribute to the world-wide dissemination of knowledge: ? to improve knowledge of the building and management of open archives working practically in the field within the framework of Open Digital Libraries; ? not only to promote open archives in various disciplinary environments, but also to create a valid and credible model in LIS discipline for the building of a world Library and Information Science archive; ? to establish a base for communal work between librarians information technology professionals, and to enhance the Open Access movement. The development of an international LIS network has been stimulated by the extension of the Open Access concept to LIS works and facilitated by the dissemination of material within the LIS community. These are some of the reasons for the success of E-LIS as an organizational model, which has been developed within a framework in compliance with OAI, and, exactly for this reason, it can be regarded as a tool for disseminating the OA philosophy. The invisibility of scholarship from countries so-called developing countries, such as African countries or India, was regarded as a fait accompli in the pre-Internet era. Nowadays, the discussion concerning the digital divide, scholars from these countries may disseminate their work via the networked services of digital repositories, such as E-LIS. Thanks to these projects, authors who contribute to an e-print archive are participating in a global effort by universities, researchers, libraries, publishers, editors, and readers to redefine the mechanisms of scholarly research. This e-print archive makes LIS research more visible, available, and relevant, which in turn increases its visibility, status, and public value. In E-LIS papers from 82 countries are currently deposited in 36 languages: Afrikaans, Basque, Bosnian, Bulgarian, Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Indonesian, Italian, Kannada, Malay, Malayalam, Maori, Nepali, Norwegian, Persian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Sinhala, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Turkish, Ukrainian.

Descriptores: Bibliometric Indicators

Resumen: This paper reports a bibliometric analysis of the output of the Faculties of Social Sciences and Humanities of the University of Navarra, as recorded by publications in scholarly journals over the period 1999-2005. Information for the analysis was gathered from Journal Citation Reports (JCR) and from the Spanish +ndice de Impacto de las Revistas Españolas de Ciencias Sociales (IN-RECS), +ndice de Impacto de las Revistas Españolas de Ciencias Jurídicas (IN-REJS) and Revistas Españolas de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades (RESH). The aim of this work was to determine the adequacy of these ranking systems as bibliometric tools for describing the output in Spanish journals of a university. The results show the University of Navarra published 7281 documents during the studied period, 1908 (26 %) of which were articles in journals. Just over 39 % of the latter were published in Spanish scientifi c journals, and 12 % in Web of Science journals. The coverage of the ranking systems varies per faculty: the IN-RECJ best covered articles published by the Law faculty; IN-RECS best represented production from Communication and Economics faculties; and RESH best covered production from Humanities faculties. Some 43 % of the studied articles recorded by IN-RECS were published in the fi rst quartile of journals covered by the index; this fi gure was 42 % with respect to RESH, and 12 % with respect to JCR. Spanish national ranking systems are therefore useful as a complement to bibliometric information provided via the Web of Science and JCR.

Descriptores: Bibliometria

Resumen: A bibliometric analysis of the scientific production of the faculties of Social Sciences and Humanities of the University of Navarra in journals during the period 1999-2005 have been made. We used as information source the Journal Citation Reports and different rankings of Spanish journals: +ndice de Impacto de las Revistas Españolas de Ciencias Sociales (In-Recs), +ndice de Impacto de las Revistas Españolas de Ciencias Jurídicas (In-Rejs) and Revistas Españolas de Ciencias Sociales y Humanidades (Resh). The aim is to study the adequacy of these Spanish rankings as a tool for describing the production in scientific journals at university aggregation level. Regarding the results, the University of Navarre published 7281 documents, 26% of them were articles in journals. Just above 39% were published in Spanish scientific journals, and 12% in Web of Science journals. The coverage of the production of the different faculties varies between Spanish rankings. In-Recj is optimal for Law, In-Recs for Communication and Economics and Resh for Humanities. We studied also the documents in the first quartile of the rankings. In In-Recs 43% of the articles were published in the first quartile, in Resh was 42% and 12% in JCR. We conclude that the national rankings are useful as a complement of the Web of Science and JCR.

Resumen: This paper explores the use of Library Catalog Analysis (LCA), defined as the application of bibliometric or informetric techniques to a set of library online catalogs, to describe quantitatively a scientific-scholarly field on the basis of published book titles. It focuses on its value as a tool in studies of Social Sciences and Humanities, especially its cognitive structures, main book publishers and the research performance of its actors. The paper proposes an analogy model between traditional citation analysis of journal articles and library catalog analysis of book titles. It presents the outcomes of an exploratory study of book titles in Economics included in 42 academic library catalogs from 7 countries. It describes the process of data collection and cleaning, and applies a series of indicators. It illustrates how LCA can be fruitfully used to assess book production and research performance. It discusses a number of issues that should be addressed in follow-up studies and concludes that LCA of published book titles can be developed into a powerful and useful tool in studies of Social Sciences and Humanities.

Descriptores: Sistema Bibliotecari de Catalunya

Resumen: Since fifteen years have now passed since the approval of Law 4/1993 of the Library System of Catalonia, it is a good time to examine the current status of its implementation. 2007 was also the final year of the Agreement for the Improvement and Modernisation of the Library System of Catalonia covering the period 2004-2007. Therefore, this article analyses the main aspects for the achievement of a fortified Library System in Catalonia that offers services on a national level and is capable of resolving the information access needs of the citizenry. The article acknowledges the long tradition of advocacy of our profession, thanks to which notable progress has been made, even though much remains to be done in certain areas (union catalogues, national lending services or digital strategy). Also described in the text are the unequal speed, status and degree of library development among the different library networks differences often conditioned by the lack of political will and frequently, too, by the lack of technical will. The article concludes by presenting the major lines of action for improving library services in Catalonia being undertaken by the General Direction of Cultural Cooperation of the Generalitat?s Department of Culture and Mass Communication.
