Reducing task’s redundancy – the strategy of Faculty of Pharmacy Library to centralize all scientific research

Introduction – Based on a previous project of University of Lisbon (UL) – a Bibliometric Benchmarking Analysis of University of Lisbon, for the period of 2000-2009 – a database was created to support research information (ULSR). However this system was not integrated with other existing systems at University, as the UL Libraries Integrated System (SIBUL) and the Repository of University of Lisbon (Repositório.UL). Since libraries were called to be part of the process, the Faculty of Pharmacy Library’ team felt that it was very important to get all systems connected or, at least, to use that data in the library systems. Objectives – The main goals were to centralize all the scientific research produced at Faculty of Pharmacy, made it available to the entire Faculty, involve researchers and library team, capitalize and reinforce team work with the integration of several distinct projects and reducing tasks’ redundancy. Methods – Our basis was the imported data collection from the ISI Web of Science (WoS), for the period of 2000-2009, into ULSR. All the researchers and indexed publications at WoS, were identified. A first validation to identify all the researchers and their affiliation (university, faculty, department and unit) was done. The final validation was done by each researcher. In a second round, concerning the same period, all Pharmacy Faculty researchers identified their published scientific work in other databases/resources (NOT WoS). To our strategy, it was important to get all the references and essential/critical to relate them with the correspondent digital objects. To each researcher previously identified, was requested to register all their references of the ‘NOT WoS’ published works, at ULSR. At the same time, they should submit all PDF files (for both WoS and NOT WoS works) in a personal area of the Web server. This effort enabled us to do a more reliable validation and prepare the data and metadata to be imported to Repository and to Library Catalogue. Results – 558 documents related with 122 researchers, were added into ULSR. 1378 bibliographic records (WoS + NOT WoS) were converted into UNIMARC and Dublin Core formats. All records were integrated in the catalogue and repository. Conclusions – Although different strategies could be adopted, according to each library team, we intend to share this experience and give some tips of what could be done and how Faculty of Pharmacy created and implemented her strategy.

Da fabricação das escolhas escolares aos recursos informativos de suporte:o discurso adolescente em análise

No âmbito de um projeto, já concluído, sobre escolhas vocacionais realizadas pelos alunos à entrada do ensino secundário em Portugal, um dado mereceu a nossa particular atenção: a renúncia da influência, ou seja, a crença de que a escolha efetuada foi liberta de qualquer tipo de influência evidenciou-se como valor comum partilhado por todos os jovens inquiridos. Com base em dados, quantitativos (inquérito por questionário a 1793 alunos do ensino secundário) e qualitativos (24 entrevistas individuais semidiretivas a alunos do mesmo nível de ensino), recolhidos no âmbito do citado projeto, este artigo procura (re)situar a negação das influências externas no processo de definição do percurso escolar no quadro dos processos de construção de si na adolescência. Faremos isso confrontando a autonomia reivindicada pelos adolescentes com as fontes de influência que participam e suportam essa mesma escolha. Assim, identificar-se-ão ao longo do artigo quem são os interlocutores dos alunos no processo de (re)definição das suas vocações, a que suportes informativos recorrem para apoiar as suas escolhas e que grau de importância atribuem a estas fontes de informação. O conjunto dos dados apresentados permite melhor compreender a complexidade inerente aos processos de individuação na adolescência, ao enquadrar os legítimos discursos de afirmação de si na densa teia de relações sociais em que têm lugar, destacando o papel diferenciado desempenhado pelo mundo escolar, pela família e pela mídia.
