Serviço de intercâmbio de material bibliográfico da Biblioteca da Câmara dos Deputados : uma proposta de melhoria que contemple a arquitetura da informação

Proposta de melhoria do Serviço de Intercâmbio da Biblioteca da Câmara dos Deputados a partir da adoção de um novo modelo balizado pela Arquitetura da Informação e que contemple os recursos tecnológicos atualmente disponíveis. Dentre as justificativas para esta proposta estão a necessidade de modernização para manutenção do serviço, um dos pilares do desenvolvimento de coleções; e o alinhamento deste serviço ao comportamento do usuário pela busca de informação, que vem mudando após o advento da internet. A pesquisa é do tipo exploratória que apresenta a revisão de literatura como base para a fundamentação teórica, na qual são discutidos os aspectos teóricos do desenvolvimento de coleções na modalidade de aquisição por doação, realizada por meio do serviço de intercâmbio entre as bibliotecas. No procedimento metodológico foi feito um estudo no Serviço de Intercâmbio da Biblioteca da Câmara dos Deputados para obter os dados estatísticos que quantificam essa atividade. Foi elaborado um questionário, e enviado as 14 bibliotecas da Rede RVBI para conhecer o funcionamento do serviço de intercâmbio em cada uma delas. Com base nas respostas advindas do questionário foi sugerida a criação de um catálogo coletivo de acesso público via web, nos moldes do Portal Estante Virtual, para centralizar e gerenciar as atividades de intercâmbio de publicações. Os objetivos do catálogo são centralizar as informações e substituir um serviço pouco automatizado nas bibliotecas, outros objetivos do catálogo são agilizar a troca de publicações entre bibliotecas, propiciar economia de espaço, de recursos humanos e financeiros ao otimizar as rotinas e promover a democratização das listas de doações para um número maior de bibliotecas.

Influence of Dilute Acetic Acid Treatments on Survival of Monoecious Hydrilla Tubers in the Oregon House Canal, California

Hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata (L.f.)Royle), a serious aquatic weed, reproduces through formation of underground tubers. To date, attacking this life-cycle stage has been problematic. The purpose of this study was to measure the impact of exposure to dilute acetic acid on monoecious hydrilla tubers under field conditions. In this field experiment, treatments were acetic acid concentration (0, 2.5, or 5%) and sediment condition (perforated or not perforated). Each of 60, 1x1 m plots (in the Oregon House Canal) were randomly assigned to one treatment. Two weeks after treatment, we collected three samples from each plot. One was washed over 2 mm wire mesh screens to separate tubers from sediment. Relative electrolyte leakage was measured for one tuber from each plot. Five additional tubers from each plot were placed in a growth chamber and sprouting monitored for four weeks. A second sample from each plot was placed in a plastic tub and placed in an outdoor tank, filled with water. These samples were monitored for tuber sprouting. Relative electrolyte leakage increased significantly for tubers exposed to 2.5% or 5% acetic acid. Effects on tubers in perforated sediment were reduced. Exposure to acetic acid inhibited tuber sprouting by 80 to 100%, in both chamber and outdoor tests. These results confirm findings from earlier laboratory/greenhouse experiments, and suggest that this approach may be useful in the management of hydrilla tuber banks in habitats where the water level can be lowered to expose the sediments.
