- Author preferences for open access in Portugal: survey findingsPublication . Carvalho, Milena; Boock, Michael; Todorova, Tania Yordanova; Martins, Susana; Braga, Inês; Pinto, CláudiaIn its relatively short existence, open access—the free, online, and immediate availability of scientific outputs in journals and repositories—has contributed to the availability and impact of scientific knowledge across the globe. As a result, the authors hypothesize that researchers and students increasingly prefer that their work appears in open access journals or open access repositories, resulting in improved access to quality, peer-reviewed scientific information and faster scientific and technological advances. Surveying authors at doctoral-granting institutions of higher education in Portugal, the authors seek to determine the extent to which this is true among Portuguese university teachers and researchers, to gauge their familiarity with open access, the importance they attach to open access when choosing a publication outlet, and to determine their preferences for achieving open access. The results show that Portuguese researchers are aware of the benefits of open access, regularly publish in open access journals, and deposit their papers in institutional or disciplinary repositories. The authors recommend continued improvement of training on institutional open access policies, European open access goals, and funding body requirements to increase open access to the fruits of Portuguese research still more.
- Partilha de informação em contexto empresarial na ótica da ciência da informaçãoPublication . Moreira, Diogo; Martins, Susana; Carvalho, MilenaEm ambiente empresarial, o cumprimento de prazos nos projetos pode levar à ausência de gestão da informação, nomeadamente a deficiências no processo de criação e organização documental que tornam difícil a sua recuperação. O projeto implementado assume como objetivo a definição de melhorias nos processos de criação, organização e partilha infodocumental, conduzindo ao desenvolvimento de instrumentos neste âmbito. Trata-se de uma investigação aplicada, baseando-se na revisão da literatura narrativa e na recolha de evidências através do uso de grelhas de observação e sua análise. É igualmente uma investigação exploratório-descritiva, permitindo conhecer e aprofundar temáticas. Foi necessário proceder-se ao mapeamento da documentação produzida ao longo dos projetos desenvolvidos e a uma avaliação da documentação armazenada nos repositórios institucionais DA ORGANIZAÇÃO X. Propuseram-se melhorias ao nível da criação, organização e partilha de infodocumentação que usassem as tecnologias por forma a facilitarem a criação, o acesso e a difusão infodocumental, cumprindo-se assim o objetivo proposto
- Mediation of archival information through the WebPublication . Carvalho, MilenaThis article aims to contribute to an analysis of the level of the Websites of the Portuguese District Archives and equivalent (ADs), an assessment based on the perspectives of users and archive professionals, namely on aspects of the functionality, accessibility and interaction of these websites, thus rectifying an existing gap in the literature on this subject. For this purpose, the Quadripolar Method was adopted, complemented by criteria based on two central references: CONARQ and DLGAB. The process began with a review of the existing literature on Web mediation in about 24 ADs and equivalent in Portugal (Aveiro, Beja, Braga and University of Minho, Bragança, Castelo Branco, University of Coimbra, Guarda, Alfredo Pimenta – Guimarães, Évora, Leiria, Lisbon, Portalegre, Porto, Santarém, Setúbal, Viana do Castelo, Vila Real, Viseu, Madeira, Angra do Heroísmo, Ponta Delgada, Horta, Torre Tombo) and a methodology of action was implemented consisting of online surveys sent to 595 users. The objective of this study was to diagnose the level of interactivity of ADs based on the perceptions of the users surveyed, in order to know to what extent the Internet brings new potentialities in the mediation of ADs' information.
- A memória na sustentabilidade do turismo - o caso do projeto A Rota do PescadorPublication . Martins, Susana; Carvalho, MilenaA Rota do Pescador é um reflexo da colaboração interinstitucional entre o Instituto Superior de Contabilidade e Administração do Porto e a Junta de Freguesia de Vila do Conde, desenvolvida no âmbito de um projeto de turismo sustentável, baseado na maior comunidade piscatória do País: Poça da Barca e Caxinas. Objetiva a salvaguarda de património cultural e imaterial, promovendo a transferência de conhecimento a partir das competências do profissional da informação adquiridas na Licenciatura em Ciências e Tecnologias da Documentação e Informação. Através da aplicação de entrevistas semiestruturadas e da análise documental de elementos do acervo da biblioteca e do arquivo municipal, realizou-se o levantamento do património informacional, de cariz etnográfico, cultural, religioso, arquitetónico, ligado à construção naval e ao espólio piscatório, de indumentária e gastronomia. Os resultados são: a criação do logotipo do projeto; a criação de merchandising e de um glossário do típico linguarejar caxineiro; a delineação de uma pequena rota pedonal; a criação de uma página de Facebook e a recriação de certas tradições comunitárias. O projeto assume-se como um modelo de grande importância no desenvolvimento sustentável baseado em iniciativas turísticas, valorizando as tradições e a memória, preservando o património informacional ligado à atividade piscatória daquelas comunidades.

- The Fisherman´S Route Project: An Interinstitutional Collaboration InitiativePublication . Martins, Susana; Carvalho, MilenaThe School of Management and Industrial Studies (ESEIG-Vila do Conde) of the Polytechnic of Porto (IPP), through the bachelor degree in Information and Documentation Sciences and Technologies (CTDI) was approached in 2015 by the parish of Vila do Conde to develop a joint project with the intention of preserving the identity and the cultural connection of Vila do Conde with the fishing activity and its fishermen - that have in Caxinas and Poça da Barca one of the biggest communities of fishermen in the country - through the creation of a cultural and touristic project called “A Rota do Pescador” (The Fisherman´s route). In the school year of 2016/2017 the bachelor degree in CTDI has started to be taught in the Porto Accounting and Business School (ISCAP), also from the Polytechnic of Porto, and the project has continued in the same lines that had been established. The increasing importance of the informational heritage as an agent that generates value and as a distinct identity is, nowadays, a key element to create, distinguish and enrich tourism activities based on the realities of the local heritage. As a matter of fact, the tourism is now seen as strategic for the local development. This intends to be a multifaceted project that was born from the collaboration between a local government body and a higher education institution, that aims to collect, recover and recreate information, traditions, as well as inventory resources covering several forms of heritage. Actually this project assumes that the information is more than ever something that must be preserved, and therefore we have gathered the information about the fishing and gastronomic traditions of these communities, as well as about their own use of language and we have carried out the mapping of a touristic pedestrian route – All this work was developed by some students, within the scope of the curricular unit of internship, in the third year of the degree and always under the supervision and guidance of the teacher responsible for these internships. So far, it was possible, through this project, to infer the importance of the collection and retrieval of information skills that the information professional holds, and its implementation in alternative scenarios and working realities, in this specific case, in collaboration with a local government body and in the development of a project of cultural and touristic nature. Another aspect considered, is the acceptance given by the communities under consideration to the efforts developed in order to promote and preserve this traditional knowledge that at the end represents the information that has been conveyed from generation to generation. This project is still in progress, we intend to develop more work in the scope of this institutional collaboration, creating, for example, a family tree of these communities, an electronic catalogue, a glossary with a visual navigation system and a website for the project.
- Mediação da informação e comportamento infocomunicacionalPublication . Carvalho, MilenaEstudo da Mediação e do uso da Informação nos Arquivos Distritais e equiparados, que têm desempenhado um papel determinante na consolidação e preservação da memória institucional nacional, como fator de identidade, de sentimento de pertença de uma comunidade e na promoção da cidadania.
- Arquivos públicos portugueses e a mediação da informaçãoPublication . Carvalho, MilenaO presente trabalho está delimitado ao âmbito dos Arquivos Públicos, nomeadamente os Arquivos Distritais e equiparados. Procede-se igualmente a uma análise e descrição do contexto nacional da evolução dos serviços de informação, procurando sublinhar e valorizar o papel determinante destes arquivos na consolidação e preservação da memória institucional nacional. Para o desenvolvimento do estudo utilizou-se como universo o conjunto dos Arquivos Distritais que estão sob a tutela da DGLAB - Direção-Geral do Livro, dos Arquivos e das Bibliotecas1, os Arquivos Distritais de Braga da Universidade do Minho e de Coimbra da Universidade de Coimbra, o Arquivo Alfredo Pimenta em Guimarães, os arquivos das regiões autónomas, que dependem dos respetivos Governos através das Secretarias Regionais da Cultura e, no caso da Região Autónoma dos Açores, as respetivas Bibliotecas Públicas. Todos estes arquivos foram alvo de dois termos do desenvolvimento da política e programática dos Arquivos, no âmbito da aplicação do Programa de Reestruturação da Administração Central do Estado (PRACE) e do respetivo impacto nos Arquivos Distritais. No subcapítulo seguinte procede-se a um enquadramento dos ADs, apresentando uma evolução do seu contexto legislativo e respetivos objetivos e fundos, seus serviços (incluindo uma caracterização dos sites dos Arquivos Distritais) apresentando igualmente algumas particularidades de alguns ADs. Este estudo serve de igual modo para aferir se e em que medida, o utilizador está dependente da mediação que se interpõe entre as suas necessidades de acesso à informação, as respostas obtidas e serviços que lhe são prestados, tendo influências no grau de satisfação relativamente às suas pesquisas, num contexto geográfico determinado: os distritos de Portugal e as regiões autónomas, praticamente todos cobertos pelos serviços dos Arquivos Distritais Portugueses e similares.
- The Preservation of Memory and the Management of Information as a Step towards Sustainable DevelopmentPublication . Martins, Susana; Carvalho, Milena; Pinto, CláudiaSustainable development comprehends the balance between human activities and the environment. Today, more than ever, the need to act with respect for the environment and the urgency in recognizing that we belong to the planet, and not the other way around, have accelerated and generalized the demand for information about environmental sustainability, economic and social concerns, and the discussion about which Humanity should adopt paths to save the species. The United Nations 2030 Agenda recognizes access to information as a critical goal in the Sustainable Development Goal of promoting peaceful and inclusive societies, access to justice for all, and building effective, accountable, and inclusive institutions at all levels. In a global and inclusive society, people's access to information and the need to protect fundamental freedoms is necessarily the founding principle of the path to achieving global sustainability. The understanding of the world and society has always been founded on the study of the past, the knowledge of history, traditions, and memory. Only knowledge of memory allows us to know where we come from and to determine where we are going. Memory, which is nothing more than informational heritage, a generator agent of value and distinctive identity, is essential to create, distinguishing, and enriching socioeconomic activities based on the realities of the environment and local cultures towards socioeconomic and environmental sustainability and inclusion. In this paper, we intend to highlight the crucial role of information professionals in sustainable development, as they play unique and privileged roles in the preservation of people's identity and culture, as well as in the collection, research, processing, protection, promotion, enhancement, and transmission of information, which guarantee the viability of Humanity's cultural heritage and access to information as one of the goals of sustainable development.
