Integrating information literacy in health sciences curricula: a case study from Québec

Objective: To portray an information literacy programme demonstrating a high level of integration in health sciences curricula and a teaching orientation aiming towards the development of lifelong learning skills. The setting is a French-speaking North American university. Methods: The offering includes standard workshops such as MEDLINE searching and specialised sessions such as pharmaceutical patents searching. A contribution to an international teaching collaboration in Haiti where workshops had to be thoroughly adapted to the clientele is also presented. Online guides addressing information literacy topics complement the programme. Results and evaluation: A small team of librarians and technicians taught 276 hours of library instruction during the 2011-2012 academic year. Methods used for evaluating information skills include scoring features of literature searches and user satisfaction surveys. Discussion: Privileged contacts between librarians and faculty resulting from embedded library instruction as well as from active participation in library committees result in a growing reputation of library services across academic departments and bring forth collaboration opportunities. Sustainability and evolution of the library instruction programme is warranted by frequent communication with partners in the clinical field, active involvement in academic networks and health library associations, and reflective professional strategies.

Web Scale Discovery Systems – How to assess the best solution

The University of São Paulo has been experiencing the increase in contents in electronic and digital formats, distributed by different suppliers and hosted remotely or in clouds, and is faced with the also increasing difficulties related to facilitating access to this digital collection by its users besides coexisting with the traditional world of physical collections. A possible solution was identified in the new generation of systems called Web Scale Discovery, which allow better management, data integration and agility of search. Aiming to identify if and how such a system would meet the USP demand and expectation and, in case it does, to identify what the analysis criteria of such a tool would be, an analytical study with an essentially documental base was structured, as from a revision of the literature and from data available in official websites and of libraries using this kind of resources. The conceptual base of the study was defined after the identification of software assessment methods already available, generating a standard with 40 analysis criteria, from details on the unique access interface to information contents, web 2.0 characteristics, intuitive interface, facet navigation, among others. The details of the studies conducted into four of the major systems currently available in this software category are presented, providing subsidies for the decision-making of other libraries interested in such systems.

Knowledge: custody & access

The University of São Paulo celebrates its Integrated Library System 30th anniversary with an exhibition, discussing the problems of retrieval, preservation and access to knowledge resulting from the exceptional changes ICTs produce in contemporary society. It opens up discussions on the main function of the ancient library institution, reinforces its relevance and reflects on technical tools and social practices that make information and basic raw material accessible, generating new forms of knowledge. About the future library, it´s a call for reflection on how the brilliant minds of the past projected into the future, which for us are the achievements of the present. The future has already started and expects each one to exercise inventiveness and determination to build it in a human and collaborative sense.

Science publication workshops as a strategy to improve the visibility of scholarly production: the experience of the University of Sao Paulo (USP) - Brazil

The objective of this work is to present the experience of workshops that have been developed at the University of Sao Paulo by the Integrated Library System in partnership with Research Commission. The poster presents the main results of workshops that were made in 2011, in two knowledge areas: life science and engineering, about science publication processes, and directed to graduates, pos-doctorates, researchers, professors and library staff. The realization of workshops made possible identifies gaps in different aspects of scholarly communication such as research planning, search information strategy, information organization, submission process, identification of journals with high impact, and so on, areas where professors and librarians can help. Besides, workshops reveal that the majority of participants believe in its importance. Despite the ubiquity of digital technology that transversely impacts all academic activities, it is imperative to promote efforts to find a convergence between information and media literacy in higher education and university research activities. This is particularly important when we talk about how science is produced, communicated and preserved for future use. In this scenario, libraries and librarians assume a new, more active and committed role.

Proceso de creación de una lista de autoridades de nombres geográficos de Argentina

La diversidad de los nombres geográficos de Argentina, sumados a los casos de sinonimia, homonimia y variantes de la forma del nombre ?incluida la ortografía-hace necesario realizar el control de puntos de acceso para asegurar la coherencia del catálogo y, por ende, el acceso a la colección documental. Se propone entonces, una metodología para la confección de una Lista de nombres geográficos de Argentina que proporcione un punto de acceso controlado y sus referencias, de acuerdo a las Reglas angloamericanas de catalogación, 2ª edición, revisión de 2002, actualización de 2003 [AACR2]. Se presentan los ejemplos en una base de datos diseñada sobre el software CDS/ISIS 1.5 [build3] para Windows [versión completa: AR], UNESCO, 2003 [llamado comúnmente Winisis], con el formato de autoridades UNIMARC de IFLA [International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions], 2ª edición y actualización, siguiendo las Directrices para registros de autoridad y referencias [GARR], 2ª edición y las Directrices para los registros de autoridad y referencia de materia [GSARE]
