Libraries of the futur

Sian Harris 
reports back from the Online Information conference that was held in London in December


‘Some studies have found that references on Wikipedia are as good as those that users get from libraries. What does that say about our profession?’ challenged Blaise Cronin, dean and professor of information science at Indiana University, USA. He was speaking in the Libraries of the Future session at the Online Information conference in December.
Cronin noted that reference queries, reference transactions and circulation in libraries have been steadily decreasing over recent years. And libraries are progressively getting less and less of universities’ budgets, especially in the current financial crisis, he said. One of the issues that may arise from this is staffing. Libraries sometimes spend almost half their budget on staff but there can be duplication of effort, Cronin observed.
He predicted that future academic libraries are going to be zones of sanctuary and security where people can be networked and work together. He envisaged a re-conceptualised space that is a combination of coffee shop, book shop and speed dating centre, with core material and off site stores. He also predicted greater collaboration between libraries beyond the consortia deals of today. Working together across entire states or countries would help address long-tail information needs and bring economies of scale.
Libraries need to understand what users want and embrace opportunities, he argued. ‘Students want material that is virtual and personalised. We need to get material into the palm of users’ hands and get the library brand out there to compete with Google and new services like ChaCha,’ he said.
In her conference session, emerging technology information consultant Ellyssa Kroski gave examples of research libraries starting to do just that. ‘Many libraries are effectively using Twitter to communicate about things like opening times,’ she said, ‘while other libraries have developed applications that enable users to search catalogues from within Facebook.’
Text and instant messaging alerts are also popular, as are social bookmarking applications and applications for devices such as e-book readers and iPods.

Return on investment

Such new developments to libraries may bring financial advantages to research institutions too. Carol Tenopir, of University of Tennessee’s School of Information Science, presented research at the Online conference into return on investment (ROI) for institutions around the world.
‘[In the surveys], many faculty members felt they couldn’t continue their work or do grant proposals without access to e-resources,’ she said. The research revealed that faculty members include between 15 and 27 citations in each grant proposal and that between 50 and 99 per cent of these citations come from their library’s e-journal collection. That is not the full picture either: the research also revealed that for every article cited, between 18 and 40 are read. ‘If you are just looking at citation data, you are greatly underestimating the use of the library,’ added Tenopir.

A library policy for Europe | Gerald Leitner

“Do we have a common library policy for Europe?”. From my point of view, the answer is unfortunately a clear “NO”.
What we do have are a couple of initiatives that the libraries are integrated into. Moreover, we have certain recommendations from the EU and a body of regulations concerning the work of libraries but we are far away from having a common policy concerning European libraries. We all know that the European library landscape is heterogeneous. This of course implies that citizens of different countries are not given equal and unrestricted access to information, education and cultural life.
If we believe in the idea of a unified Europe, offering equal rights and opportunities for all its citizens, we will have to initiate a discussion process on the importance of a library policy for Europe and the benefit that this will bring to the European library sector and its users.
The presentation will give an introduction to the purpose of the conference.

Web 3.0 promete mudar as bibliotecas



Research Information: February/March 2010
  
Web 3.0 promises change for libraries

Almost as soon as the term ‘Web 2.0’ was coined, the web community split into two factions. There were those who embraced the term and started debating future iterations and the meanings of ‘Web 3.0’, ‘Web 4.0’, and even ‘Web 5.0’. Meanwhile, the other group labelled the 2.0 moniker as hype.
One of the problems with the term Web 2.0 has been the lack of an explicit definition. In his seminal paper on the topic, Tim O’Reilly instead provided a list of features and technologies, such as using the web as a platform, and harnessing the wisdom of the crowd. The wide variety of features has led to arguments that Web 2.0 is vague enough to include everything on the web and as such means nothing. However, away from the details, the term ‘Web 2.0’ reflects a major shift in the way that users view the web: from a read-only web, to a read-write web.
The term ‘Web 3.0’ reflects an equally momentous change in the way we view the web. Some of the possible avenues for the future include the 3D web, the semantic web, and the real world web. All have gained a lot of interest among library and information professionals. Virtual 3D worlds such as Second Life provide new places and ways to offer information and services. An increasingly semantic web offers the opportunity for access to increasing amounts of information from disparate sources. Meanwhile the real world web offers to integrate the web with the world around us. We are yet to see which of these will capture the imagination of library stakeholders to such an extent that it will reflect a new perspective in the way they see the web.

The 3D web

The potential of a 3D web and a far richer web experience have been enabled by increases in computer processing power and higher bandwidth capabilities. Complex virtual worlds offer the opportunity for 3D virtual representations of users to interact with one another in real time and explore information and virtual objects in new ways. The potential of such virtual worlds for the provision of information services has been recognised by many information professionals.
Much of the attention in the library community has focused on Second Life, a virtual world with modelling tools and a scripting language that enables the creation of a wide variety of objects. The Alliance Virtual Library has had a presence on Second Life since 2006, housing a variety of collections, and regularly being staffed by volunteer librarians. The popularity of Second Life among the library community has even resulted in an online magazine dedicated to the use of Second Life by librarians and educators, RezLibris.
However, the widespread adoption of Second Life among the general public no longer looks as likely as it did a couple of years ago. Instead of virtual worlds making the news over the last year, far more attention has been paid to the minimalist Twitter service. Second Life suffers from the need to download software and far higher computational requirements than the ‘traditional web’. It also requires a user to master a more complex set of skills, for both the browsing and creation of content.
The 3D web will only become a realistic medium for the provision of library and information services when it becomes seamless with the rest of the web, becoming browser friendly. While steps are being made in this direction, those 3D environments that currently make use of a browser generally still require an extensive download. This might be a single user exploring a virtual space, for example, the virtual tour of The Linnean Society of London, or interacting in a multi-user environment, such as in the multi-player game QUAKE LIVE. Rather than the 3D environment running in the browser, the browser is merely the front-end for a program running in the background. Steps are being taken, however, for browser-based 3D environments, with the development of cross-platform plugin-free web standards.
Although much of the hype surrounding 3D web services has died-down, there is plenty of potential for its application in the provision of library and information services in the future. However, it is important that the technologies are used because they are the most appropriate way to convey the requisite information – not just because they are the latest glitzy web technology.

The semantic web

In comparison to the excessive hype surrounding sites like Second Life, there is relatively little widespread understanding of the semantic web – a web of information that is meaningful to computers. The specialist terminology of the semantic web has created a barrier to most people engaging with the topic. And those that do engage with the semantic web fail to get the same sense of discernable contrast that people notice with the 3D web. Whilst O’Reilly identified data as “the next Intel inside”, much of the data that is currently hosted is in information silos. Accessing the data from a specific information resource requires learning the quirks and format of each specific application programme interface (API).
Nonetheless, access to APIs has encouraged an increasing number of users to start thinking about the web of data, and there is increased interest in the possibilities of both Linked Data and microformats for the embedding of semantic information. Linked Data is about publishing and connecting related data from different websites in a way that the relationships are meaningful to computers. Microformats focus on embedding semantic attributes into web pages through the application of agreed standards (for example, marking up contact information in the hCard format).
Embracing the semantic web requires librarians and information professionals to not only move beyond the physical and virtual document, which has been the focus of much of their attention up until now. It also requires them to start thinking of interacting with the data on the web as a large information resource, rather than in individual data repositories. When discussing the potential of a semantic web to bring together previously disparate information resources in as yet unthought-of ways, it is difficult not to slip into hyperbole – assigning increasing amounts of our daily online activity to automated agents that could carry out the tasks on our behalf.

Real world web

While the incremental changes of the semantic web may not be immediately discernable, or beneficial, this is not the case with the real world web. Small-scale applications incorporating the web into the world around us can have an immediate impact. Connections between the web and the real world are not only possible through the increased sophistication of mobile phones, but also platforms that enable real-time updates from real world objects.
Mobile phones with high processing power, high-specification cameras and GPS receivers, offer a new way to provide information services. This can be a sophisticated augmented reality, overlaying a real image of the world with additional information from the web. An example is combining facial recognition software with social network profiles, or overlaying buildings with virtual signs. Another way to provide information services might be scanning simple 2D barcodes such as QR codes to make connections between the objects in the real world and the web. Although the technology for reading QR codes has been around for a number of years, and its use is widespread in Japan, it has only relatively recently started to be adopted more globally. For example, Bath University library in the UK has recently incorporated QR codes into its library catalogue. This enables users to save the author, title, and shelf number of the works they are interested in onto their mobile phone. The floor plan also includes QR code links to an MP3 audio tour.
Connections between real-world objects can also take the form of automatic updates. The streaming of data from real-world sensors attached to real-world objects has been simplified by the emergence of dedicated web services such as Pachube, microblogging services such as Twitter, and the extension of the RSS protocol with RSS Cloud and PubSubHubBub. Library services can now incorporate real-world sensors to inform customers how busy a library is or which facilities are not in use at a particular time.

Future libraries

The 3D web, the semantic web, and the real world web, will all have a role to play in the future provision of library and information services. However, it is the real world web that is most likely to change the way users see the web – thus, this is the one most worthy of the 3.0 moniker. Not only will it provide an immediately-recognisable difference in the way users view the web, but the technologies are already available. Although the technologies are available for the semantic web, it relies on widespread adoption to become useful. It doesn’t seem likely that it will create a dramatic shift in the way we view the web any time soon. The technologies necessary for a more immersive 3D web experience are not yet established, and it is not yet clear how much it will affect the way that we view the web as a whole.
The three potential visions of the web discussed here are not mutually exclusive, but instead are likely to be combined in many as yet unthought-of combinations in the future, along with other new technologies. While Web 2.0 has been surrounded by a lot of hype and argument, we can’t get away from the fact that the way we use the web, as well as the content on it, has changed, and will continue to change in the future. Those who gain the most from the web will be those at the forefront of the change, not those playing catchup.

Descriptores: Imagen profesional/Bibliotecarios
Resumen: Incluso en países con una larga y fecunda tradición bibliotecaria, como Estados Unidos, se ha hecho a veces un retrato feroz de las personas que trabajan en las bibliotecas. Trabajar en una biblioteca era, en el mejor de los casos, una alternativa al matrimonio y, en  ocasiones, una clara alternativa a la clínica psiquiátrica. El retrato que hace Frank Capra de una bibliotecaria al final de «jQué bello es vivir!» es despiadado. Recordemos: al protagonista de la película, a punto de suicidarse, le dan la posibilidad de contemplar cómo hubiera sido el mundo sin él. Realmente llega a comprender que todo -su familia, sus amigos, su ciudad- habría sido peor si él no hubiera llegado a nacer. Pero la puntilla, el detalle que le hace abrazarse a la vida como a un clavo ardiendo es ver que, sin él, su adorable mujercita habría sido un solterona, amargada, mal vestida y... bibliotecaria. y por ahí no pasa. Aunque seguramente lo que el ingenuo (?) director quería dar a entender era que, en general, las mujeres son mucho más felices si no son otra cosa que madres y amas de casa. Pero eso es otra historia.

Resumen: Tot i que la participació de les dones en la societat i en el treball és tan antiga com la història, no ho és tant la seva valoració equiparada al llarg dels temps. I no serà fins a començaments del segle XX, amb l'obtenció de la ciutadania i el dret al vot, que el col·lectiu femení comenci a modificar els seus papers i funcions socials, incorporant-se progressivament i activa als àmbits públics d'una societat que, al llarg del segle, anirà transformant i canviant costums, valors culturals, sistemes de representació social i legislatius, propiciant en conseqüència, el reconeixement social de les dones i un millor equilibri entre homes i dones dins la societat.

Resumen: The paper describes the social evolution of women, from their confinement at home to their active participation in public life, and the current tendencies of integration and equality of opportunities in all social aspects. The article is divided into two parts. First we study the role of women in librarian science in Catalonia and the history of their participation in the profession. The second part explains and evaluates the reasons of the feminization of librarian tasks.

Resumen: For over fifty years a community of women whose lives have been violated physically mentally or financially have been settling down as prostitutes in a local village outside the predominantly Muslim state of Kano in Northern Nigeria. The community started with four prostitutes in 1957 but has now grown to be the largest community of prostitutes in Nigeria with 1831 living permanently in 126 houses, 78 lodgings accommodating couples on a nightly basis. Over 90% of the prostitutes are not educated at all and as such are  not aware of and do not use any protection against sexually transmitted diseases and as such AIDs is so common that patients death is no longer kept on records. Dead prostitutes are hurriedly buried in the local graveyard of the settlement.

In the system of education 75% are women, in the cultural spherethere are employed more than 62% of women. They are active creators of intellectual values, carrying out the role of conductors and keepers of national tradition and memory.

Resumen: Formalised disadvantage in female remuneration began in Australia in 1907 with the Federal 'Harvester Case' decision, which set in law the differential between male and female wages. It established a basic wage for males on the basis of their 'breadwinner' status. Further decisions of this nature followed. Throughout the second half of the twentieth century women have struggled to overcome the disadvantage imposed during the earlier decades. [This paper began life as part of the requirement for a Masters Degree at Charles Sturt University, Riverina. Subsequently revised, it was submitted for consideration in the Jean Arnot Memorial Fellowship award in 2003. The author, Irene Bonella, was judged joint winner of the Fellowship in May 2003. The other successful paper was also written on the subject of pay equity].

Resumen: L'article examine sept traductions et adaptations françaises de Little Women de Louisa May Alcott (1868), actuellement accessibles aux jeunes lectrices en librairie ou en bibliothèque. Afin d'observer les représentations de la féminité qui y sont données à lire au lectorat francophone, l'analyse se centre sur le personnage de Jo, l'héroïne anti-conformiste qui n'hésite pas à exprimer ouvertement son refus des limitations imposées à la condition féminine. Il apparaît que la description physique et psychologique, les prises de parole et les actes du personnage ont subi, dans la plupart des versions françaises, des distorsions qui font de la Jo March française un personnage bien édulcoré.

El conocimiento de la existencia de sucesos como éstos en la vida de las mujeres de diversos países del mundo y en circunstancias diversas, nos lleva necesariamente a examinar su situación en la sociedad actual en relación, entre otras cosas, con el ejercicio de los derechos de las mujeres en todas las áreas del quehacer humano. Esto lleva, necesariamente, a examinar la teoría feminista a partir de la cual se fundamentan esos derechos.

Resumen: Some time ago a piece of information published by Mexican newspapers told that in the upcoming elections, in one region of Pakistan, women could not vote because of the specific request made by the chief of the tribe. Knowing the existence of events like this in the life of women in different countries of the world and in varied circumstances makes it necessary for us to examine women's situation in our current society in terms of, among other things, the exercise of women's rights in all the areas of human activity. Out of necessity, this leads into examination of the feminist theory in which these rights have their basis.

Descriptores: Traducción/Mujeres/Siglo 16
Resumen: La extensa obra del polígrafo gerundense Francesc Eiximenis OFM, apenas 20 años después de su muerte, desborda las fronteras lingüísticas de su autor a través de numerosas traducciones. El siglo XV, siglo de las reforma observante, acoge de buen grado obras como el Llibre de les dones, la Vita Christi y, sobre todo, el Llibre dels àngels. Libro de las donas es el título de la primera traducción castellana del siglo XV del LLD, anónima, y que se nos ha conservado hasta la actualidad en 7 manuscritos: cuatro códices conforman la familia lingüística castellana propiamente dicha, mientras que los tres restantes presentan un estadio lingüístico profundamente orientalizado y representan la difusión del LLD por tierras de habla no catalana de la Corona de Aragón. Es decir, la existencia de una rama orientalizante y otra marcadamente castellana viene a abundar en la idea de la amplia difusión del LLD, ya que la adaptación anónima parece extenderse, progresiva y geográficamente, desde las tierras de habla no catalana de la Corona de Aragón y sus aledaños hasta Castilla. En la edición anotada del Carro de las donas a partir se ha confrontado metódicamente cada capítulo con su equivalente catalán (a partir de la edición moderna de F. Naccarato) y los mss. A1 y B1 del Libro de las donas cuatrocentista. En el estudio preliminar se abordan cuestiones diversas: la filiación textual del Carro de las donas (manuscrito orientalizante), el ambiente espiritual de la primera mitad del XVI, el estudio de las fuentes (Vives, Venegas, Ángela de Foligno, Clicthove) y una propuesta de autoría: el P.

El objetivo fue conocer el entorno sociocultural de los estudiantes y sus actitudes al informarse sobre temas de salud reproductiva, específicamente métodos anticonceptivos. Se elaboró un cuestionario para medir las actitudes, el entorno sociocultural y el hábito de lectura. De acuerdo a los resultados obtenidos, la mayoría de los jóvenes encuestados encuentra mayor información en los establecimientos de salud, siendo los folletos y trípticos los materiales informativos más consultados y, con relación a los métodos anticonceptivos, el condón obtuvo mayor preferencia entre los estudiantes sexualmente activos.

Resumen: The information needs of women and their views on available information have hardly been studied as a research topic or as a critical issue within the information system. It is surely a pity that the need for information and access to information for women have not been taken as a serious matter in the field of library and information services. In the Indian context it is even more so because other than the academic and scientific sector where information is a scholarly commodity and the user is a serious information seeker whether a man or a women, the information need of an ordinary woman is seldom understood or appreciated. The status of women being a major subject of debate in India is dependent on several factors. However, in this paper I wish to address the diverse factors which will ultimately influence the information seeking behaviour of women.

Resumen: Although the information needs of women receiving antenatal and postnatal care are well understood, few studies have examined the use of information by minority ethnic women. This paper describes a pilot study that aimed to identify the main maternity information sources used by Somali women living in a northern city in the UK. The study described here utilised unstructured exploratory focus group and semi-structured interviews with Somali women. All discussions and interviews were audiotaped, translated and transcribed in their entirety and then analysed using a variation of the theme analysis method. Sources of information emerged as a sub-theme from the data. Women sought and used information from several interpersonal sources. Many were dependent on general practitioners and health visitors for maternity information, although participants favoured community health forums addressed by health professionals. Women also sought maternity information from friends and neighbours. Interpersonal sources as a whole were viewed as having a number of advantages. Informal sources in particular were perceived as being approachable and providing a means through which further information could be sought, while each information source was also evaluated according to specific criteria. The implications of these findings for minority ethnic women are discussed and recommendations for further research are outlined.

Descriptores: Mujeres /Necesidades de información/Estudio de usuarios
Resumen: Although little research has specifically focused on the information behavior of battered women, many studies designed with other intentions reveal useful insights into the role of information in battered women's lives. Studying battered women's information behavior offers insights that can serve as a basis for developing strategies to meet their information needs. This article develops an expanded version of the person-in-situation model: a 'person-in-progressive-situations' model. The proposed model creates a picture of the changes in information needs, seeking, and use at various stages in the progression of abuse. The expanded model also considers three categories of barriers that constrain the battered woman's information-seeking alternatives: personal, responsive, and situational. The model reveals many implications for librarians and other information providers seeking to address the information needs of battered women and implications for further research.

Resumen: Verdadero emblema de la novela europea decimonónica, la mujer lectora también ha sido objeto de interés en las letras argentinas y cuenta con un breve pero valioso recorrido a lo largo de algunas novelas nacionales del siglo XIX. Su punto de arranque aparece con la protagonista de Amalia de José Mármol, en quien toma cuerpo la figura de la lectora romántica, esto es, una mujer de sensibilidad culta, custodia del hogar republicano y compañera fiel de su marido en las luchas contra la tiranía. [1] Pero a medida que la lectura femenina se expande y su presencia va constituyendo una porción cada vez más gravitante del público, tal como parece demostrarlo el auge de los semanarios ilustrados y la inclusión continua y sistemática de novelas en los folletines de los periódicos, este perfil alimentado en las convicciones estético-ideológicas del romanticismo cede terreno ante una nueva figura que deja entrever más reticencias que entusiasmos con respecto a esa nueva realidad que significa el acceso efectivo de las mujeres a la cultura letrada.

Es por ello que OBSYM responde a las necesidades informativas específicas poniendo a disposición de la población contenidos de calidad y acreditados.

Se ha encontrado que el número de profesores universitarios que poseen página personal es muy bajo, y que son aquellos que pertenecen a las ramas de Ciencias Sociales y Humanas los que más las tienen. Por otro lado son las mujeres las que menos uso hacen de este medio. También es muy reducido el depósito de trabajos en el repositorio E-Prints. En cuanto a la visibilidad no existen diferencias entre ambos sexos.

Resumen: In today's rapidly changing world of technology and information, libraries find themselves trying to understand more about their users. The results of a qualitative survey of 184 women library patrons give insight into why and how they use library and information technology and how they learned to use that technology. Women discuss what services they particularly value, including traditional services like printed books and reference, but also their appreciation and use of the Internet, including the library's Web site and databases. Trends showed that women are still the ones who bring children to the library and encourage their use of books. They also value the library as a place of solitude where they can find books or just be by themselves. Women use a variety of resources outside of the library to locate information as they make choices about how to find information in everyday life. It will be important for public libraries to discover ways to increase their role in educating women about library use, particularly electronic resources, and how to effectively locate and evaluate information from the Web and other resources so libraries can remain a vital part of lifelong learning.

La investigación se llevó a cabo mediante un cuestionario que se distribuyó durante el congreso de la IFLA 2001 en Boston y que se rellenó a través del correo electrónico. Se exponen los resultados que se refieren a la contribución de las mujeres a la sociedad en la era de la información y al grado de respeto que se muestra hacia ellas y hacia la profesión en general. Se pregunta si funciona en el mundo de la información una especie de "techo de cristal", que significaría que los hombres llegan antes a puestos más elevados. También se abordan temas relacionados con los salarios, la cualificación, así como la formación y desarrollo del personal. Se destacan algunos casos expuestos por los participantes donde se muestran situaciones de desigualdad y se sugieren lecturas e investigaciones adicionales.

Resumen: Using content analysis, this study explored the role of the literature in the diffusion of new information; the influence of the literature on the innovation-decision process; and how the concept of tie strength can contribute to a greater understanding of the role of the literature in information transmission. Diffusion of innovations and strength of weak ties theories provided the framework that informed this research, and an illustrated medical case study, changing practices related to hormone therapy for menopausal women, provided context for the study. Findings suggest that published literature impacts the innovation-decision process and thus plays an integral role in the diffusion of medical innovation to physicians and consumers; that the view of literature as a bridging 'weak tie' in a multifactor communication network allows for a more comprehensive understanding of the role of published literature in information diffusion; and that medical and lay articles are not neutral channels, they function to provide information, reinforce knowledge, and produce and shape meaning.

Com va dir Toni Morrison en llegir el discurs davant de l'Acadèmia sueca: "L'idioma no és només un instrument creador de bellesa sinó que, en una dimensió més profunda, també és un instrument reivindicatiu de la llibertat i la dignitat de l'ésser humà".

Resumen: La filòloga i novel·lista Helena Valentí i Petit (Barcelona, 1940-1990) s'exilià de ben jove a Anglaterra, on buscà en la traducció el mitjà de vida. Entre altres autors i autores, traslladà al castellà William Blake, Marilyn French, Nicholas Guild, Najib Mahfuz, Harold Robbins, Bernice Rubens, Roger T. Taylor i Doris Lessing, de la qual traduí El quadern daurat. De retorn a Catalunya, el 1974, decidí compaginar la traducció amb la narrativa pròpia. Girà a la llengua catalana Al far i Una cambra pròpia de l'anglesa Virginia Woolf i La garden party i altres contes i Un home casat i altres crueltats de la neozelandesa Katherine Mansfield. En els anys vuitanta traslladà El factor humà de Graham Greene i Jo, Claudi de Robert Graves, i féu una breu incursió en la narrativa per a joves. Viatges indiscrets de Lisa St. Aubin, un recull de contes d'autores del segle XX, fou l'última traducció.

Resumen: Este documento es el resultado de dos entrevistas realizadas en Chicago y Norwich en los años 1995 y 1996 respectivamente. En un artículo posterior a sus traducciones al inglés de Memorias de Leticia Valle, de Rosa Chacel, y de Delirio y destino, de María Zambrano, Carol Maier apunta lo que pensó que constituiría una de las máximas más determinantes en la práctica de la traducción. Para Maier, traductora literaria, teórica y profesora de traducción, la responsabilidad de la actividad traductológica no se limita a una mera (re)escritura del texto original. El traductor o traductora deben implicarse, abandonar las distancias críticas y hacer visible lo que piensan sobre la teoría y la práctica de la traducción. Maier hace una llamada a la expansión del término 'responsabilidad' en traducción. Nos ofrece un espacio de debate, de diálogo y de reflexión para todos los que quieran pensar en las paradojas y contradicciones que surgen al (re)escribir un texto en otra lengua. En definitiva, sus afirmaciones, pensamientos y comentarios sobre las intersecciones entre el género y la traducción cumplen con los criterios de 'responsabilidad' por los que lucha tan enérgicamente.

Resumen: Have Pedagogy Studies addressed the concerns of Gender and Education? If so, how? What are the outcomes? At the turn of the twentieth century, both gender and educational values were questioned and revised. The consequences of those reflections and of the battles fought to improve conditions are beginning to be felt a hundred years later. This paper will first include an overview of the situation of women in education worldwide. Second, it will focus on the transformational pedagogical approaches that are gradually making their way into mainstream educational systems and are underpinned by the principles of democracy, dialogue, carnival, experimentation and (socio)construction, on the one hand, and by neuroscience and psychology on the other, in as much as these approaches challenge discrimination and favour bridge building, not only across genders, but also across ethnicities and social classes.

Resumen: El espejo ha sido utilizado con frecuencia en la literatura como símbolo de la búsqueda de la identidad femenina. Este estudio analiza el papel que el espejo ha jugado en cuatro novelas hispanoamericanas escritas por mujeres: Blanca Sol (1889), Ifigenia (1923), La última niebla (1934) y No es tiempo para rosas rojas (1974). Aun perteneciendo a países y épocas distintas, las cuatro novelas tienen muchos elementos en común. En este trabajo se analizarán la imagen doble cada vez que una mujer se mira al espejo, imagen que en la mayoría de los casos corresponde a un hombre, así como la imagen fragmentada, el reflejo en el agua y la mirada en un espejo aún más amplio: la ventana. Las diferencias entre ellas son casi inexistentes, pues tanto en el siglo XIX como a finales del XX, la mujer sigue luchando por encontrar su propia identidad.

Descriptores: Lengua/Género/Mujeres
Resumen: El concepto de género es el concepto clave de la teoría feminista. La idea de que lo femenino y lo masculino no son hechos naturales, sino construcciones culturales, abre de inmediato la brecha por la que la reflexión feminista empieza a resquebrajar el orden ideológico establecido de la división de los sexos. Pero puede hacerlo desde presupuestos teóricos muy diferentes y a menudo enfrentados entre sí, como demuestra la existencia de vivas polémicas en torno a diferentes aspectos de la cuestión del género. Este texto pretende destacar la importancia de las aportaciones que pueden hacer al respecto las disciplinas de la estética y la semiótica. Para ello, y por razones de estrategia expositiva, se partirá de la lectura de la obra La dominación masculina, escrita por el pensador francés Pierre Bourdieu. La cuestión que articulará el texto es la del proceso de inmersión social en un mundo ordenado androcéntricamente que implica relaciones de dominación. ¿Cómo puede el individuo resistirse o enfrentarse al orden del mundo que establece el sistema de los géneros?

Descriptores: Sociedad de la información/Mujeres
Resumen: The development and use of communication and information technologies, notably the Internet, have
stimulated huge changes in the organisation of work and daily life in Europe, leading to a process of transition from the "Industrial" to the "Information" society. The ultimate aim of the Information Society should be the empowerment of all its citizens through access to and use of knowledge but at present some people, including women, are more distant than others from the opportunities presented by the Information Society. Thus, although the Internet has been hailed as an emancipating and democratising force it is not gender-neutral. Evidence of a gender imbalance in the use of the Internet threatens the vision of a democratic space to which everyone has equal access and in which everyone is equal. This paper reviews the literature on the topic of women, the information society and the Internet. It also presents selected results of Masters research projects undertaken in the Department of Information Science at Loughborough University. Specifically, the paper discusses female access to the Internet and explores some of the barriers that may prevent women having the same access as men. It also examines differences in male and female Internet use. The point is made that, very often, the negative aspects of the Internet for women are emphasised but stresses that there are, in fact, positive reasons for women to use the Internet and advantages to this method of computer mediated communication for women. Finally, the concept of Cyberfeminism is discussed. It is concluded that although there are negative sides to the technology, women must engage with the Internet if they are to help shape the Information Society.

Descriptores: Búsquedas bibliográficas/Evaluación /Mujeres
Resumen: One hundred and five women who were abused by their intimate partners described their experiences in searching for help and the outcome of their interactions with different services that comprise the formal help network in a city with an international reputation for its coordinated response to woman abuse. In the aftermath of violent incidents, the women most frequently sought protection, safe shelter, removal of their abusive partners, advice about managing their situations, a criminal charge against their partners, and medical treatment for their injuries. The women tended to use help-seeking pathways that led them first to the police or a hospital emergency department. In turn, these services often directed them toward community agencies with a specific mandate to assist abused women. The abuse-specific agencies then referred the women to a wide range of services in the community. Regardless of the type of assistance they were seeking, the women repeatedly mentioned the importance of the personal demeanor of service providers when they assessed the outcomes of their encounters with the formal help system. The findings are discussed with respect to designing community coordination mechanisms that overcome common barriers to seeking help and information.

This article seeks to understand how metalinguistic devices--such as reported speech and quotation--and the intertextuality that they create serve both to produce and at the same time to normalize such dissonance, and thus women's language as language ideology. To make my point, I will focus on reported speech in interlingual translation, and its role in the reproduction of the idea of women's language.

Resumen: Purpose - Productivity in library and information entails efficient and timely information acquisition, processing, storage, retrieval and delivery. The purpose of this paper is to explore the reasons why the productivity of women in library and information should be enhanced; to describe problems which militate against this; and to highlight their future prospects. Design/methodology/approach - These objectives are achieved through the descriptive survey methodology. Findings - The finding is that, in spite of the fact that the productivity of women in Nigeria has generally been regarded as low because of traditional prejudices against women and lack of data on the productivity of women in the informal sector, the productivity of women in the library and information sector has remained high and needs enhancement to encourage them to aim higher in the profession. One way of achieving this is by getting them fully involved in information technology. Another way is government's financial support of their aspirations towards training and retraining; attendance to seminar-workshops, exchange programmes in connection with sabbatical leave appointments, etc. Research limitations/implications - For further research, this paper suggests an investigation into the implications of government's investment on women librarians for the harnessing of knowledge and information for sustainable rural development in Nigeria. Practical implications - The practical implication of the paper is that with government's focus on women librarians to tap their potentials, they will become more sensitive in their professional practice and will endeavour to show-case their enhanced productivity. Originality/value - The new value is the suggestion that women librarians should be incorporated to assist in producing national data on the productivity of women in the informal sector.

Resumen: In a recent issue of American Libraries, Nancy Kranich, sitting president of the American Library Association, acknowledged the critical role that librarians play in preventing censorship and ensuring that individuals have unlimited access to all manner of information. "Librarians," Kranich wrote "must act as trailblazers in promoting access to information, and serve as watchdogs in protecting the public's information rights" (Kranich 7). Nowhere is the need for "trailblazers in promoting access to information" more apparent than in the area of women's healthcare information. In the U.S. and abroad, women's access to authoritative, clear, and thorough information about reproductive health and sexuality are increasingly under attack by religious organizations, political groups, and governmental agencies. In her essay, "Censorship and Manipulation of Reproductive Health Information: An Issue of Human Rights and Women's Health," Lynn P. Freedman tells us that "in the last century, contraception and abortion have been one key site of the struggle over reproductive sexuality . . . one key to controlling access to contraception and abortion is to control information about them and their uses"(31). Though censorship of information about women's health is not a new phenomenon, it is increasingly aggressive and destructive to women and girls.

Resumen: This paper reports the results of an empirical study into gender differences in collaborative Web searching, conducted in a grade-six classroom of a Canadian elementary school. Searches undertaken by 16 same-sex groups of two or three students (six of boys, ten of girls) for information to support a class assignment were captured on videotape. The multiple search sessions took place over several weeks. An analysis of the search sessions reveals that the groups of boys formulated queries comprising fewer keywords than the groups of girls, the boys spent less time on individual pages than the girls, the boys clicked more hypertext links per minute than the girls, and in general were more active while online. The study overall demonstrates academic, affective and behavior differences between grade-six boys and girls working in same-sex groups on a Web-based class project.

Descriptores: Mujeres/Fuentes de información/Bibliografía/Edición
Resumen: Sin duda, una de las tareas imprescindibles dentro de toda biblioteca especializada es la selección bibliográfica. Ésta es la labor esencial que permite tener una colección bibliográfica viva, útil y  actualizada. En nuestro caso, las bibliotecas especializadas de mujeres hemos visto como en unos pocos años se ha incrementado incesantemente los títulos del mercado que hacen referencia a nuestro ámbito. Hasta hace poco, casi todos los libros publicados sobre la mujer correspondían a colecciones de instituciones públicas (especialmente el Instituto de la Mujer de Madrid) y a alguna editorial comprometida con la causa como Icaria, Horas y horas, etc. Eran pocas las editoriales privadas de carácter generalista que editaban estudios de género y sólo acudíamos a ellas para comprar los libros de psicología, salud, maternidad, etc. Hoy ha cambiado bastante este panorama y vemos como muchas editoriales privadas no sólo publican libros sobre el tema mujer, sino que incluso destinan colecciones al mercado. También muchas organizaciones públicas o semi-públicas como ayuntamientos, universidades, sindicatos, asociaciones de mujeres, diputaciones, seminarios de investigación feminista, etc. se han incorporado al proceso de editar libros sobre nuestra especialidad. Este crecimiento de la información en torno al tema mujer, genera además una necesidad por parte del profesional de mayor control del mercado y que cada vez dedique más parte de su tiempo a saber qué es lo que se está publicando en torno a su especialidad hoy en día.

Resumen: Las estadísticas universitarias mexicanas indican que en la bibliotecología, como en otras titulaciones, se está experimentando un proceso de feminización. En las aulas la presencia de la mujer ha ido en aumento, si bien faltan datos que revelen de qué manera se ha dado su inserción a la fuerza laboral. Por tal motivo, intentamos analizar la situación de la mujer académica, la que dedica desde dos horas hasta el tiempo completo a actividades de docencia en la licenciatura o en el posgrado en bibliotecología que se imparte en la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Se encuestaron 21 bibliotecólogas de origen, es decir, se excluyeron aquellas que llegaron a la docencia en bibliotecología con otra formación. Se obtuvo información sobre su nacionalidad, edad, estado civil, título o grado alcanzados, distinciones recibidas, puesto que ocupan, antigüedad docente, incluyendo la dedicación a la misma, y dificultades encontradas a lo largo de su vida profesional. Concluimos que las mujeres encuestadas han desempeñado un papel relevante en el desarrollo del campo, sin embargo, también han sido víctimas de prejuicios sociales.

Resumen: Los estudios feministas empiezan a surgir durante el siglo XIX y el principio del siglo XX debido a la necesidad de las mujeres de elevar su papel en las sociedades patriarcales y eliminar su posición oprimida. Las teorías feministas están divididas en dos etapas; la primera y la segunda ola. La primera ola es la teoría que pone énfasis en la reformación de lo social, político y económico (Selden 206). La segunda ola, que se desarrolla en los sesenta, por otra parte, continúa con la primera, pero pone énfasis también en la sexualidad no como una fuerza de opresión, sino que como algo para celebrar (Selden 211). La literatura feminista básicamente cabe en una o en las dos teorías. La poesía de Rosario Castellanos no es una excepción sino que es una representación de la literatura donde se ven los aspectos de las dos olas.

Resumen: Purpose - Women constitute a significant proportion of the Nigerian public servants. They have varied job related information needs and possess some information seeking behaviour. The study aimed to identify their job-related information needs and assess the existing office information environment. Design/methodology/approach - The survey method, using questionnaire and observation techniques were used in collecting data from 158 women in the top cadre of the federal and three selected state ministries and parastatals. Findings - The study found that most of the information needs were related to governance, education, religion, family and domestic matters. Only one-third of the respondents regarded information on women as very relevant to job performance. Newspapers, magazines, newsletters, colleagues, and conversations were the main sources of information. Although electronic sources, especially the internet were not widely available, the respondents were enthusiastic to use them. They also perceived positive relationship between good information environment and job performance. Research limitations/implications - A limitation of the study is the small sample considering that there are 36 states in Nigeria. Also, a study of all public servants, male and female, would have been better. The paper recommends an improvement to the information environment of the government establishments. Originality/value - As not many studies have been done on women in public service and their information needs and use, the findings of this study will be useful-to government and other decision makers in providing facilities and for infrastructural development to increase productivity of women and all public servants.

Resumen: Access to information and technology is a necessary tool for the advancement of individuals, communities and societies as a whole. For women in particular, unrestricted access to information is necessary not only for the acquisition of skills, but for their empowerment as individuals. In an increasingly technical, computer literate society, women returning to the workforce, poor women, and women in developing countries must be afforded the opportunity to obtain the skills necessary to use these tools to secure employment as well as improve their lives.

Resumen: This paper describes the results of an exploratory survey by questionnaire distributed via a variety of information agencies, designed to investigate women's information needs and patterns of information-seeking behaviour in relation to the European Union. The results explore women's attitudes to information and its value to them in a range of different life contexts, as well as their use of information agencies and of information and communications technologies. The results show that women value information highly and that they search for and use a wide range of categories of information in relation to education and their professional and personal life. Findings also suggest that respondents tend to predict high levels of future use of European information, in particular in relation to democratic participation and self development. Women were conscious of barriers to information access and suggested a range of measures that might improve access. They were generally positive about participating in training in the use of electronic networks and about the likelihood of their using networks to access information about the European Union.

Resumen: This paper investigates the availability of women's sites on the Internet in the light of the research that has been conducted into women, communications and technology. The paper draws upon a systematic evaluation of ten women's sites, covering a range of sectors including general sites, business, health and technology. The evaluation reveals that such sites offer useful sources of information on a range of subjects of potential interest to women and that they are stable and accessible resources. The sites tend to be freely accessible and apparently reputable, with little evidence of commercialism. However, there are concerns about the lack of security on the sites and a poor provision of the kind of information that is necessary to measure their authority and reliability. While all sites offer some form of interactivity, they tend to offer in each case only a small proportion of the interactive functions that might be enabled and demonstrate little awareness of the significance of these in helping women to network effectively.
