Base de dades amb les cerques fetes en ISOC

Objectiu: estudiar treballs publicats a Espanya sobre documentació televisiva amb la finalitat de traçar un panorama general i una evolució temàtica en aquest camp professional.

Metodologia: s’han fet cerques en sis bases de dades especialitzades amb les quals s’ha pogut establir una evolució de la producció científica dedicada a la documentació televisiva, tant en el nombre de treballs publicats com en els temes tractats. També s’han valorat les publicacions que editen un nombre més gran d’articles dedicats a la documentació televisiva i els autors que hi participen.

Resultats: no es pot establir una relació entre la producció de documents científics sobre documentació televisiva i esdeveniments; s’ha evidenciat poc tractament de temes que tenen importància professional, com les normes tècniques. Així mateix, s’ha destacat que la majoria de les publicacions tenen autor únic i que més d’un 50 % dels autors són homes.

Tendencias de las publicaciones informativas científico-médicas en la era 2.0

En los últimos años ha crecido la audiencia que consulta contenidos de salud en publicaciones y medios en Internet, especialmente en Europa y Estados Unidos. Se ha pasado de un usuario de Internet unidireccional en la comunicación a un escenario en el que la multidireccionalidad y la instantaneidad son constantes.

Los nuevos medios y la creación de plataformas de intercambio de información más especializada evidencian que los recursos multimedia y la interactividad también pueden darse en medios especializados y distantes del público general como es información sobre biomedicina y salud. Simultáneamente, el cambio hacia actitudes más solidarias y de ayuda mutua aflora mediante las redes sociales.

Con el objetivo de trazar un escenario sobre el comportamiento de las audiencias ante los contenidos de carácter científico, especialmente los de tipo sanitario, se analizan en este trabajo los perfiles y costumbres de los usuarios utilizando referencias estadísticas tanto europeas como norteamericanas. Del mismo modo, se identifica el mapa actual de cibermedios relacionados con la información científico-médica segmentada en medios de comunicación generales, especializados y los propios de la web 2.0 como blogs y medios cocreativos.

Esta descripción permite orientar sobre las tendencias que seguirán los públicos diferentes y segmentados, pero ahora interconectados por las nuevas tecnologías, y sobre la transformación de la arquitectura y funcionalidades de los medios en Internet.

La restauración digital de películas

por

Aquest article tracta sobre la conservació i la restauració de pel·lícules amb tecnologies digitals. Les pel·lícules, com a expressió de la memòria col·lectiva, formen part del patrimoni comú de la humanitat, i mereixen ser preservades i difoses. Per això, la qüestió de la preservació dels materials cinematogràfics està guanyant pes, sobretot si tenim en compte la fragilitat estructural i la curta durada de l’estoc de pel·lícules.

L’estat actual del mitjà audiovisual és de transició: a poc a poc l’element analògic i fotoquímic és substituït pel sistema digital. I això influeix molt en les pràctiques de producció i distribució del cinema, i també en els debats teòrics sobre el mitjà: els criteris d’arxivament i els processos de restauració no són una excepció a aquesta lògica.

Revistes que els investigadors utilitzen més per publicar, 2008–2012

Introduction: Production is an essential part of scientific activity and its visibility is an indicator for the evaluation of science. Scientific journals have been transformed and the open access movement has driven changes in our scholarly communication model.

Objective: This paper analyses the scientific journals used by researchers in information science in Brazil and the visibility of these journals in the Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus databases by comparing the scientific production published in open access and restricted-access journals.

Methodology: Quantitative, exploratory and documentary analysis was made using the scientific production of researchers in information science in Brazil that receive productivity grants from the Brazilian National Research and Development Council (CNPq).

Results: It was found that researchers published primarily in open access national journals, and that the visibility of these journals in international databases did not significantly differ to the visibility of restricted-access publications.

Objective: This paper analyses the presence of interdisciplinarity in bachelor’s degrees in information and documentation.

Methodology: The current state of curricula design and regulation in Spanish bachelor’s degree courses in information and documentation was reviewed and an analysis was then made of the subjects taught in this degree during the academic year 2013-2014, using the variables department responsible for teaching and programme content. The subject programmes were analysed using related words.

Results: More than 40 different areas of knowledge with department-associated subjects were identified across the curricula. The paper observed the presence of areas of knowledge recommended by the bodies that participated in the Libro Blanco en Información y Documentación (White paper on Information and Documentation, National Agency for Quality Assessment and Accreditation of Spain, ANECA), and areas of knowledge included in the Spanish information and documentation degrees the licenciatura degree (a 4- to 6-year course entitling the holder to begin doctoral studies) and the diplomatura degree (a short-cycle course in the humanities or health care). Interdisciplinarity was most present in the knowledge areas of historiography, information technology, languages, law, and statistics.

La inserción profesional de los graduados en Información y Documentación: el caso de la Universidad de Salamanca

por
Any de graduació

Objective: This paper analyses the employability of graduates in the bachelor’s degree in Information and Documentation of the University of Salamanca.

Methodology: A questionnaire consisting of closed-ended questions (suggested response, evaluation) and one open-ended question was administered in web format to the graduate students who had completed the degree in the period 2009-2012.

Results: Information and documentation graduates from the university in question were most commonly women whose motivation to become professionals was vocational. The respondents’ evaluation of the knowledge acquired during their degree was positive. The professional tasks they engaged in most were technically complex tasks requiring a level of expertise, and the majority of the respondents were employed. In what appears to be a new trend, in certain cases respondents had found employment in the private sector. An increase was also observed in the use of the Internet to obtain a professional position and in respondents’ professional interest in acquiring project planning and management skills in information and documentation.

Objective: This paper examines the current offering of the subject Project Management in bachelor’s and master’s degrees in information and documentation in Ibero-America, focusing on the countries Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Guatemala, Jamaica, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Portugal, Puerto Rico, El Salvador, Spain, Uruguay and Venezuela. The paper analyses different features of the subject in these degree courses to provide a general overview.

Methodology: A search obtained information about the offering of the subject Project Management in degree courses at an international level and the results were examined by university and by degree course. The university curricula were then analysed according to specific selection criteria, as outlined in the paper, and the researchers corresponded by email with the teaching staff responsible for these courses. Various parameters were studied and then recorded in a database. Finally, the results were analysed.

Results: After the universities, degrees and subjects had been identified and selected according to the research criteria, it was observed that 77% of the entire offering that included the degree course subject Project Management was to be found in first-cycle (bachelor’s) degrees, and that Mexico, Colombia and Spain were the countries where the offering was greatest. The study also showed that Project Management was a compulsory subject in 86 % of the sample analysed.

Mercado de trabajo en información y documentación y crisis económica en España: una aproximación a partir de las ofertas publicadas en IweTel entre 2008 y 2013

por
Nombre d'ofertes per any

Objective: This paper analyses the number, nature and conditions of job offers in the job listings published by the internet forum IweTel during the period January 2008-December 2013.

Methodology: The characteristics of job offers were analysed using statistical analysis. In many cases, the data had to be normalized before it could be used.

Results: Employment in information and documentation clearly fell during the six-year period studied, from 2008 when a total of 190 job offers were listed, to 2013 when that figure had dropped to 35. The precarity of the labour market was also noted, especially in the length of employment time offered. The organization that most frequently used the forum was typically a document service company with headquarters in Madrid, and the jobs most frequently advertised were for professionals in cataloguing. The IweTel forum was considered a valuable source of data because it has the largest mailing list for information professionals in Spain; its disadvantage was that IweTel is most frequently used by private ventures who are familiar with the sector, while other types of company advertise there less frequently or not at all.
