La introducció dels recursos digitals a les biblioteques al llarg de l'última dècada ocasionat el canvi del mitjà fonamental de formació del fons: s'ha passat de comprar els documents a fer-hi possible l'accés. Aquest nou model d'adquisició funciona mitjançant llicències d'ús, que contenen elements que afecten tant els professionals com els usuaris. S'ofereix una visió global de l'estructura i el contingut d'aquests contractes, tot destacant-ne el possible impacte sobre l'accés, la gestió i la utilització dels recursos adquirits amb llicència. Els professionals han de prendre consciència de la responsabilitat que assumeixen quan contracten un recurs digital, tot defensant en la negociació de les condicions els seus propis interessos i també els dels usuaris, actuals i futurs

El quart EOCONSID (Encuentro de Organización del Conocimiento en Sistemas de Información y Documentación), organitzat per ISKO-España (Capítulo Español de la International Society for Knowledge Organization), ha suposat «situar en el mapa» un congrés i una entitat que fins ara havien tingut poca projecció. Tot i organitzar les trobades regularment ¿cada dos anys¿ des del 1993, el poc coneixement de l'entitat i dels seus objectius comportava una assistència escassa de professionals a les trobades, limitada, es podria dir, als membres de l'entitat i als alumnes de la Universidad Carlos III, ¿entitat que havia acollit les segones i terceres trobades. Igualment, les actes publicades tenien poc ressò, tot i incloure contribucions d'un bon nivell de qualitat. El canvi en els òrgans de govern d'ISKO-España, el 1998, va replantejar la manera d'organitzar el congrés: es va decidir formar un equip independent de la junta directiva que s'hi pogués dedicar plenament i que garantís un major grau de professionalitat.

The projects dealing with e-government are currently the principal factor in instigating the changes taking place within the public administration. This change, which is considered unstoppable, has important implications regarding the management and conservation of administrative documents generated by electronic transactions. This article analyses the methodological, legal and cultural challenges that come about when the archives paradigm is included within e-government projects and also the consequences that this may have on the archives themselves. In conclusion the author proposes a set of methodological solutions for identifying those electronic documents with evidential value, determining their life cycle, defining a preservation policy and creating a digital archive.

In the past decade, a number of trends have come together in the general sphere of computing that have profoundly affected libraries. The popularisation of the Internet, the appearance of open and interoperable systems, the improvements within graphics and multimedia, and the generalised installation of LANs are some of the events of the period. Taken together, the result has been that libraries have undergone an important functional change, representing the switch from simple information depositories to information disseminators. Integrated library management systems have not remained unaffected by this transformation and those that have not adapted to the new technological surroundings are now referred to as legacy systems. The article describes the characteristics of systems existing in today's market and outlines future trends that, according to various authors, include the disappearance of the integrated library management systems that have traditionally been sold.

El recent auge de les revistes científiques electròniques va tenir els seus inicis quan les biblioteques van començar a tenir accés a la World Wide Web (WWW) a mitjan dels noranta. El canvi del paper al suport digital ha afectat l'alineament i el paper tradicionals dels principals implicats, bàsicament autors, editors, universitats i biblioteques. L'autora ofereix una breu anàlisi de la història de la revista científica, seguida de l'evolució de les revistes electròniques durant les dues darreres dècades. L'article se centra aleshores en les implicacions que aquestes han tingut en els processos i serveis tradicionals de la biblioteca, com ara selecció, adquisicions, catalogació, emmagatzematge, preservació i serveis a l'usuari. A la conclusió, l'autora especula sobre l'efecte que l'edició en el web pot tenir a llarg termini sobre el format que la revista científica ha presentat des de fa més de 300 anys.

[eng] This report is part of the research project, The effects of social changes in work and professional life of Spanish academics, partially financed by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (SEJ2006-01876), that has explored change in legislation, organisation, research schemes and so on, in the last thirty years. The main aim of this project is deepening our understanding of the impact of undergoing economic, social, cultural, technological and labour change in Spanish universities in the life and professional identity of the teaching and research staff, taking into account the national and european context. This paper gathers part of the results gained from the project, being its primary objective to contribute to an improved knowledge-base on professional knowledge and work experience in higher education institutions in Spain and, as a consequence, to understand how Spanish academics are coping with current changes.

In this paper we try to analyze the role of fiscal policy in fostering a higher participation of the different production factors in the human capital production sector in the long-run. Introducing a tax on physical capital and differentiating both a tax on raw labor wage and a tax on skills or human capital we also attempt to present a way to influence inequality as measured by the skill premium, thus trying to relate the increase in human capital with the decrease in income inequality. We will do that in the context of a non-scale growth model.The model here is capable to alter the shares of private factors devoted to each of the two production sectors, final output and human capital, and affect inequality in a different way according to the different tax changes. The simulation results derived in the paper show how a human capital (skills) tax cut, which could be interpreted as a reduction in progressivity, ends up increasing both the shares of labor and physical capital devoted to the production of knowledge and decreasing inequality. Moreover, a raw labor wage tax decrease, which could also be interpreted as an increase in the progressivity of the system, increases the share of labor devoted to the production of final output and increases inequality. Finally, a physical capital tax decrease reduces the share of physical capital devoted to the production of knowledge and allows for a lower inequality value. Nevertheless, none of the various types of taxes ends up changing the share of human capital in the knowledge production, which will deserve our future attention

La baja movilidad espacial de la mano d'obra y la incapacidad estabilizadora del presupuesto comunitario como mecanismos de ajuste alternativos a la política monetaria y al tipo de cambio exigen que el mercado de trabajo español muestre una alta flexibilidad salarial para poder reaccionar con rapidez a los eventuales shocks asimétricos nacionales en el marco de la Unión Monetaria. En este trabajo se analizan, en primer lugar, el grado de rigidez de los salarios y se identifican, a continuación, los principales factores explicativos del mismo. El análisis aporta evidencia empírica sobre el grado de rigidez de los salarios en un amplio número de países de l'OCDE a partir de la estimación de ecuaciones de salarios en forma de curva de Phillips aumentada con expectativas. Los resultados obtenidos permiten afirmar que el mercado de trabajo español funciona de forma deficiente, con una elevada rigidez de los salarios, y en consecuencia, una incapacidad de los mismos para ayudar a l'ocupación a recuperarse ante una perturbación recesiva. En segundo lugar, el análisis de los factores explicativos de esta rigidez permito concluir que se podría conseguir una mayor flexibilidad salarial mediante l'actuación coordinada y consensuada de los agentes económicos y sociales en el proceso de negociación salarial, así como mediante políticas activas de mercado de trabajo, incidiendo sobre todo en el componente formación, o pasivas, reduciendo la duración de las prestaciones contributivas. Un tercer factor que permitiría obtener una mayor flexibilidad sería un desplazamiento del nivel de negociación hacia formas mucho mas centralizadas o, por el contrario, altamente descentralizadas

Most optimistic views, based on Optimum Currency Areas (OCA) literature, have concluded that the probability of asymmetric shocks to occur at anational level will tend to diminish in the Economic and Monetary Union (EMU)as a result of the intensification of the integration process during the most recent years. Therefore, since Economic Geography Theories predict a higherspecialisation of regions, it is expected that asymmetric shocks will increase.Previous studies have examined to what extent asymmetric shocks have been relevant in the past using, mainly, static measures of asymmetries such as the correlation coefficients between series of shocks previously calculated from astructural VAR model (Bayoumi and Eichengreen, 1992).In this paper, we study the evolution of manufacturing specific asymmetries in Europe from a dynamic point of view (applying the modelproposed by Haldane and Hall, 1991) in order to obtain new evidence about potential risks of EMU.

Several unit root tests in panel data have recently been proposed. The test developed by Harris and Tzavalis (1999 JoE) performs particularly well when the time dimension is moderate in relation to the cross-section dimension. However, in common with the traditional tests designed for the unidimensional case, it was found to perform poorly when there is a structural break in the time series under the alternative. Here we derive the asymptotic distribution of the test allowing for a shift in the mean, and assess the small sample performance. We apply this new test to show how the hypothesis of (perfect) hysteresis in Spanish unemployment is rejected in favour of the alternative of the natural unemployment rate, when the possibility of a change in the latter is considered.

In this paper we examine the effect of tax policy on the relationship between inequality and growth in a two-sector non-scale model. With non-scale models, the longrun equilibrium growth rate is determined by technological parameters and it is independent of macroeconomic policy instruments. However, this fact does not imply that fiscal policy is unimportant for long-run economic performance. It indeed has important effects on the different levels of key economic variables such as per capita stock of capital and output. Hence, although the economy grows at the same rate across steady states, the bases for economic growth may be different.The model has three essential features. First, we explicitly model skill accumulation, second, we introduce government finance into the production function, and we introduce an income tax to mirror the fiscal events of the 1980¿s and 1990¿s in the US. The fact that the non-scale model is associated with higher order dynamics enables it to replicate the distinctly non-linear nature of inequality in the US with relative ease. The results derived in this paper attract attention to the fact that the non-scale growth model does not only fit the US data well for the long-run (Jones, 1995b) but also that it possesses unique abilities in explaining short term fluctuations of the economy. It is shown that during transition the response of the relative simulated wage to changes in the tax code is rather non-monotonic, quite in accordance to the US inequality pattern in the 1980¿s and early 1990¿s.More specifically, we have analyzed in detail the dynamics following the simulation of an isolated tax decrease and an isolated tax increase. So, after a tax decrease the skill premium follows a lower trajectory than the one it would follow without a tax decrease. Hence we are able to reduce inequality for several periods after the fiscal shock. On the contrary, following a tax increase, the evolution of the skill premium remains above the trajectory carried on by the skill premium under a situation with no tax increase. Consequently, a tax increase would imply a higher level of inequality in the economy

In this paper we study the commuting and moving decisions of workers in Catalonia (Spain) and its evolution in the 1986-1996 period. Using a microdata sample from the 1991 Spanish Population Census, we estimate a simultaneous, discrete choice model of commuting and moves, thus indirectly addressing the home and job location decisions. The econometrical framework is a simultaneous, binary probit model with a commute equation and a move equation
