Emerging technologies and tools

The exploration of relevant user environments, the use of new web-based technologies with Web 2.0 elements and a more structural, technical re-design of library information systems, are needed in order to deliver library services and resources to the place of need.
In the next few years, the further development of social, educational and research networks, semantic search techniques, mobile and online personal tools, will be dictating how users will look and search for information.
The future success of medical libraries depends on the level of understanding and the embracing of the relevant emerging technologies.
This course will look at Web 2.0 and beyond: the mobile library, virtualization, mash-ups, collaborative tools, social networks & new search technologies.

Tecnologias emergentes e ferramentas de nova geração.
Para disponibilizar os serviços e recursos de biblioteca de acordo com as necessidades actuais, torna-se necessária a exploração de ambientes relevantes para o utilizador, o uso de novas tecnologias baseadas na Web com elementos da Web 2.0 e uma arquitectura técnica estruturada de sistemas de informação da biblioteca. Nos próximos anos, o desenvolvimento das redes sociais, educacionais e de investigação, as técnicas de pesquisa semântica, as ferramentas pessoais móveis e on-line ditarão o modo como os utilizadores irão pesquisar e recuperar a informação.
O sucesso futuro das bibliotecas médicas depende do nível de compreensão e adopção das tecnologias emergentes.
Este curso irá olhar para a Web 2.0 e mais além: a biblioteca móvel, a biblioteca virtual, os mash-ups, as ferramentas para colaboração, as redes sociais e as novas tecnologias de pesquisa.
Nota: Este curso será ministrado em português.
