VIII Encuentro de Docentes e Investigadores en Historia del Diseño, la Arquitectura y la Ciudad

Acta de congresoLa conmemoración de los cien años de la Reforma Universitaria de 1918 se presentó como una ocasión propicia para debatir el rol de la historia, la teoría y la crítica en la formación y en la práctica profesional de diseñadores, arquitectos y urbanistas. En ese marco el VIII Encuentro de Docentes e Investigadores en Historia del Diseño, la Arquitectura y la Ciudad constituyó un espacio de intercambio y reflexión cuya realización ha sido posible gracias a la colaboración entre Facultades de Arquitectura, Urbanismo y Diseño de la Universidad Nacional y la Facultad de Arquitectura de la Universidad Católica de Córdoba, contando además con la activa participación de mayoría de las Facultades, Centros e Institutos de Historia de la Arquitectura del país y la región. Orientado en su convocatoria tanto a docentes como a estudiantes de Arquitectura y Diseño Industrial de todos los niveles de la FAUD-UNC promovió el debate de ideas a partir de experiencias concretas en instancias tales como mesas temáticas de carácter interdisciplinario, que adoptaron la modalidad de presentación de ponencias, entre otras actividades. En el ámbito de VIII Encuentro, desarrollado en la sede Ciudad Universitaria de Córdoba, se desplegaron numerosas posiciones sobre la enseñanza, la investigación y la formación en historia, teoría y crítica del diseño, la arquitectura y la ciudad; sumándose el aporte realizado a través de sus respectivas conferencias de Ana Clarisa Agüero, Bibiana Cicutti, Fernando Aliata y Alberto Petrina. El conjunto de ponencias que se publican en este Repositorio de la UNC son el resultado de dos intensas jornadas de exposiciones, cuyos contenidos han posibilitado actualizar viejos dilemas y promover nuevos debates. El evento recibió el apoyo de las autoridades de la FAUD-UNC, en especial de la Secretaría de Investigación y de la Biblioteca de nuestra casa, como así también de la Facultad de Arquitectura de la UCC; va para todos ellos un especial agradecimiento

¿Que utilizan nuestros usuarios investigadores hospitalarios? Evaluación de la colección en cuatro bibliotecas hospitalarias basado en el análisis de citas bibliográficas de la producción científica de una especialidad médica

INTRODUCTION: The increase of the scientific production, the price of the journal subscriptions and the volume of the consortia puchases along the last years, has made unavoidable the optimization of the management of the collections. Libraries carry out a continuous evaluation of their collection in order to build a basic and strong one that satisfies the needs of the users, thus achieving a balance between utility, quality and price. As a complement to other usage evaluation methods, some libraries are using the analysis of bibliographical citations of the scientific production of their users-researchers. REVISION-OBJECTIVE-HYPOTHESIS: We carried out a complete bibliographical revision on the analysis of citations as a method for the evaluation of the usage of the collections. Then we established the hypothesis that it was a good indicator to know the relevancy of the collection. We evaluated the collection of four libraries. METHODOLOGY: We looked for the scientific production of the Service of Neurology in 2006 in the most important databases. We analyzed the citations and their distribution and frequency, their presence in our collections (both individual and that of the consortium), of the rest of Spain and of outside of Spain, as well as their correlation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Our last 10-year collections, both individual and consortium, satisfy more than 77% of the bibliographical citations used in the scientific production of our users. The citation analysis can be an effective tool to evaluate our collections at the present time so much as the basic collections that we keep

Las fuerzas de la colección de publicaciones periodicas de cuatro bibliotecas hospitalarias: análisis del servicio de obtención de documentos

Strengths of the periodic publication collections of four hospital libraries: analysis of the Document Delivery Service. Absctract:The collection development has the main objective of satisfying the community needs by creating base and strengthened collections on the long range, which complement other resources outside the Library. Nowadays, electronic formats and consortial buying have made it easier to access to more information and services and have also homogenized the collections due to the unified buying of the serial packages. We have also assisted to dramatic changes in the users’ habits in the sense they look up an ever more abundant and multidisciplinary information, a fact that we can attribute, at least partially, to an easier access to the bibliographic funds, despite in some cases only as a bibliographic reference. To gather all the information the users demand we must make a strategic planning at least in two perspectives: the development of a basic good quality collection for our own users and also the development of an attractive and necessary collection for the whole libraries community. The general objective of the present study is to find out which are the strengths of our serial collections for external libraries, both in the sense of the titles and subjects that other libraries request and of the temporal period of reference. To achieve this, we have analyzed the document supply requests performed by external users in four hospital Libraries in Madrid (Spain). These data will give us information about the external strengths of our collections, both for our own consortium and for the other libraries. Knowing the strengths of our collections can help us to maintain a cost balance between the resources supplied and requested from our Library through the Document Delivery Service; besides, it can lead to a cost reduction due to the optimization of the utilization of the existing resources with satisfaction of a high proportion of the total demand. Policies for the development of library collections and of the Document Delivery Service should be coordinated in order to achieve a delicate balance between resources that can be acquired in property and those that can be easily and cheaply accessed. All the libraries included in the consortium must assume and implement these policies, both for the development of their own collections and for the interlibrary loans. This strategic policy can lead to an increase of the collections and also to an expansion of the interlibrary agreements that allow diversification of these collections
