Presentación del proyecto: guía metodológica para la implantación de una biblioteca digital universitaria

El artículo pretende ser una presentación del trabajo realizado por el Departamento de Documentación e Historia del Arte de la Universidad Politécnica, la Biblioteca de la misma universidad y la Biblioteca Universitaria de Florida Centre de Formación, fruto del proyecto presentado bajo subvención a la Secretaría de Estado de Universidades, y actualmente accesible en http://www.biblioteca-digital.net Se parte de la escasa información, escrita y normalizada, existente en nuestro país en el planteamiento y la implantación de las biblioteca digitales. Siendo un tema de actualidad y teniendo un uso creciente en la enseñanza, se consideró adecuado abordar el temadesde una perspectiva práctica.This article introduces work carried out by the Department of Documentation and History of Art at the Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, the Library at this university and the Florida Centre de Formació university Library; the work is the result of a project funded by the Secretaría de Estado de Universidades and is now accessible at http://www.biblioteca-digital.net. The work starts from the scant written, standardized information on the planning and setting up of digital libraries available in this country. Owing to its being a matter of great interest at the present time and of growing use in teaching, it was thought appropriate to approach the subject from a practical viewpoint. The following topics are described and developed: Analysis of the initial condition at the center. Auto evaluation Project planning methodology. Study of costs of setting up a digital library. Study of possibilities of collaborative work with consortiums and with the different member libraries. Legal requirements for the setting up of a digital library system. The conclusion reached is that there is a need for more experience in the field of digital libraries and the professional community is encouraged to make suggestions about the project

Cómo la utilización de los datos abiertos puede impactar en la productividad de tu empresa

The presentation addresses the current state of infomediary companies at European level. This is especially the case in Spain

Information in companies as a tool to innovate and compete

Although innovation is a key factor for the survival of enterprises, its situation in Spain is still far from the objectives set by the Lisbon Strategy. As a consequence the Spanish public administrations have launched various measures to improve it. Innovation requires acquiring and selecting the best information available, which means mainly using scientific and technical databases, but they are little known in the business environment. The article gives a brief overview of the use of information for innovation in enterprises and comments on the main findings of 2008 Cotec Repor

Inter-field nonlinear transformation of journal impact indicators: The case of the h-index

[EN] Impact indices used for joint evaluation of research items coming from different scientific fields must be comparable. Often a linear transformation -a normalization or another basic operation-is considered to be enough for providing the correct translation to a unified setting in which all the fields are adequately treated. In this paper it is shown that this is not always true. The attention is centered in the case of the h-index. It is proved that it that cannot be translated by means of direct normalization preserving its genuine meaning. According to the universality of citation distribution, it is shown that a slight variant of the h-index is necessary for this notion to produce comparable values when applied to different scientific fields. A complete example concerning a group of top scientists is shown.The first author was supported by Ministerio de Economia, Industria y Competitividad under Research Grant CSO2015-65594-C2-1R Y 2R (MINECO/FEDER, UE).

By open data we understand data in open formats that you can use, reuse and freely share any person for any purpose. In this case it applies to the implementation of the concept of Open Government

Open data y linked open data: su impacto en el área de bibliotecas y documentación

We show the first steps of the initiatives Open data and Linked open data as sources of innovation in the field of information management. As the Open Access movement (OA) and the Open Archives Initiative(OAI) implied some years ago, these two initiatives constitute a shock that reverberated in technological innovation and the structure of the Web. We present a global overview of Open data and national projects related to government data. Four Spanish local or regional administrations have already begun to release their data: in chronological order, Asturias, Euskadi, Zaragoza and Catalonia. In the case of Linked open data we also provide a global picture, with 203 registered projects. We describe in more detail the work that the W3C is currently carrying out in the field of libraries. Finally we present the consecuences these new developments can have for librarianship and information science
