Contém resumo

Avaliação de software em open source para a gestão da Biblioteca UNL no Campus de Caparica

O presente trabalho parte da caracterização da Biblioteca UNL para desenvolver um estudo de avaliação dos principais Sistemas Integrados de Gestão de Bibliotecas (SIGB) em open source. Os SIGB são utilizados na automatização dos processos de trabalho das bibliotecas, através de diversos módulos funcionais e opções de configuração, e permitem a interoperabilidade através de normas e protocolos. O open source define-se como abordagem para o desenvolvimento e distribuição de software baseada no livre acesso ao código fonte, estando assim em oposição ao conceito de software proprietário. A Biblioteca UNL é caracterizada através da sua organização, dos seus espaços e recursos, dos seus processos de gestão documental e da infraestrutura tecnológica subjacente. O open source é abordado a partir da sua contextualização histórica, da organização dos seus projectos, das vantagens e inconvenientes para as instituições e do desenvolvimento e adopção de SIGB open source.

Mapping and characterization of a green biofilm inside of Vilar de Frades Church (Portugal)

Vilar de Frades church is integrated in the Vilar de Frades Monastery, located in the North part of Portugal (Barcelos). The monastery, founded in 566, suffered several architectural modifications and restoration works, the most relevant was in the XVI century. The church, in granite, has one nave and six bays,holding ten chapels with vaults of crossed ribbings. Nowadays, the chapels present a severe biological colonization characterised by an intense green biofilm, which becoming apparent in other locations inside the church. In the course of a general survey concerning the conservation state of the church, an accurate campaign was planned in order to assess the main biodeterioration agents, map biological colonization and determine the environmental conditions. Laboratory analyses were accomplished with optical microscopy and spectrofluorometry. This study presents the results of this campaign. Details on conservation or preservation works that need to be implemented are also presented.
