Cultivating Intelligence: Ecole Polytechnique De Montreal's New Library., Richard Dumont May 2006

Cultivating Intelligence: Ecole Polytechnique De Montreal's New Library., Richard Dumont

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

More than just a book repository, the new library at École Polytechnique de Montréal can be better described as a hotbed of intellectual activity. The library was specifically designed to foster learning, encourage research, facilitate collaboration and stimulate new ideas through its combination of technology, information, science and culture. From spatial planning to equipment to furnishings, everything was designed around the idea of an “intellectual forum.” This article presents the process by which the idea became reality.

Skills Developed By Students Of The Bibliography Research In Mechanical Engineering Discipline In The Technical Standardisation Of The Work., Elena Luzia Palloni Gonçalves, Elenise Maria De Araújo, Marielza Ortego Roma, Rosana Alvarez Paschoalino, Teresinha Das Graças Coletta

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

The process of teaching and learning on post-graduate courses should cover the ability to stimulate the academic environment through research and investigation, encouraging teachers and students to take a constructive attitude that challenges academic-scientific productivity. For scientific ability and the maturity of built knowledge to take place, the incentive to undertake research is fundamental, as is the corresponding mastery of electronic instrumentation and technologies. In this sense, the Library Service of the São Carlos School of Engineering of São Paulo University, in partnership with the Department of Mechanical Engineering has offered formal and specific training since 1995, within the User …

Quality Measures For Libraries And Information Services., Luiza Baptista Melo, Imaculada Cardosa Sampaio

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

The purpose of this article is to describe briefly two quality evaluation models for academic libraries: the Portuguese investigation proposes an action model to measure the performance of the libraries of the Universidade do Porto (UP). This tool is justified by the CAF – Common Assessment Framework (an auto-evaluation tool based on the European Foundation Quality Management Excellence Model), the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP); the PAQ – Quality of Products and Services Evaluation Program of the SIBi/USP, based on the Model SERVQUAL, is an assessment research implemented in the academic libraries of the Universidade de …

Ebooks Publication: The Technology, The Contents, The How To Do; A Challenge To The Competences Share And Team Work., Ana Azevedo, Carlos Oliveira, Nuno Portela, Pedro Faria, Tiago Pereira

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Producing eBooks is a complex task. Although they follow the well know book metaphor, Adobe Acrobat (1) eBooks may also include audiovisual media, hyperlinking structures, other interactive content and information layers. The process of production goes through an iterative cycle, where content authors team with designers, programmers, media producers and information architects. Its then crucial to optimize this process using software tools to help structuring the content, faciliting groupworking and metadata annotation. In this paper, we propose a new tool aiming the easy description of the relationships amongst different pieces of content and the fast prototyping of the navigation schema …

Fostering Information Fluency: Two Student Centred Initiatives., Erika C. Linke May 2006

Fostering Information Fluency: Two Student Centred Initiatives., Erika C. Linke

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

Two initiatives have been undertaken at Carnegie Mellon University, one to address issues of accountability relative to information literacy and the other to learn more about graduate students’ information gathering behavior. In response to changing accreditation requirements, new evidence for student learning is being required. Thus a program to concentrate on the information literacy skills of undergraduates, particularly in major fields of study, has been started. The other initiative focuses on understanding the current information gathering behaviors of graduate students. Outcomes from this study are being incorporated into services directed at graduate students. Questions about how to address these needs …
