Paper Abstract:
|
A digital library can be understood as a collection of information managed through associated services, where the information is stored in digital formats and accessible via computer net ways. The information format and the methods used to manage and disseminate the information are influenced by available technologies. This process promotes changes that stimulate new creations, storages, uses and disseminations of the information. Two groups are strongly involved with the development of new politics to incorporate these innovations: the information professionals and the computation workers. The growing necessity of the knowledge reconstruction, for the efficient dissemination of the most distinct information, has stimulated these professionals to innovate on which the information services are useful to particulars groups. The Brazilian public university has been worried, in the last years, with the fixation of objectives to improve the possible applications of the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). This fact indicates the urgency to stimulate the production of digital contents in important areas such as education, history and culture besides others. Other aspect that must be considered is a larger investment in the permanent formation of people capable to manipulate new ICT and to generate models and methodologies that improve the technological knowledge. Recently, digital libraries have been consolidated as an efficient tool to spread information across the world. So, it is important to obtain know-how in the construction of this tool and to prepare the information professionals to get all of its benefits. The Nucleus of Production in Multimedia Digital Contents is operating with this proposal. We classify the results as achieved results and estimated results. First of all, it will be detailed some achieved results involving social, technical and scientific gains reached with digital libraries: Development of institutional fluency in the application of ICT Upgrade of interdisciplinary laboratories Dissemination of public web services with major and rare historical, cultural and educational contents Greater integration between university and Non-Governmental Organization Development of a systematical to capture and to edit audiovisual documents Know-how to measure Internet performance Some estimated results are: Creation of a model to index digital audio and video content Reduction of the costs to construct digital libraries maximizing the use of open software |
