These policies allow creating the necessary conditions to sustain IS. Also, they are the operating framework that should permit to have a more inclusive, multicultural Costa Rican society that guarantees the democratic access to information, knowledge and ICT’s. In order to establish the Information Society (IS) in Costa Rica, and in any other country, it is required to develop an action plan based on the collaboration of the public and private sectors. On one side, the public sector in charge of the promotion, regulation of activities through public policies. On the other side, the private sector implementing those public policies and financing the information society in the creation of new services, products, jobs, and a competitive economy. In the search for the State’s efficiency and transparency, there are two types of relation: State – ICT’s and State – Information Society, both with the purpose of achieving a greater economic growth and citizen’s welfare. Unfortunately, Costa Rica lacks public policies that guarantee free access to public information and ICT’s. Additionally, the lack of politic will and politicians’ interests, these relations are impossible to establish and States’ efficiency and transparency are unattainable.Ítem Accessible libraries: Documentation Centre United Nations Latin American Institute for the Prevention of Crime and Treatment of Offenders (ILANUD)(2013-04-06 05:46:30) Quesada Mata, Flor; Lépiz Ureña, GrethelIts general objective study will evaluate the services and information products available in the Documentation Centre (CEDO) of the United Nations Latin American Institute for the Prevention of Crime and Treatment of Offenders (ILANUD) with respect to the rules and standards ratified in Costa Rica, and the 7600 Law on Equal Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities and its regulations regarding accessibility in libraries. The aim was to develop a proposal for global accessibility of ILANUD CEDO, from diagnosis derivative instruments used in three areas of work (web platform, physical infrastructure and services and information products) based on those aspects that require a change-oriented towards accessibility, in the attempt to provide the user community with physical and sensory disabilities, a rapid and timely access to information, either in person or online.Ítem The school library and information needs surrounding topics of adolescent sexuality(2013-04-06 05:46:30) Muñoz Alvarado, María DanielaThis paper refers to the issue of the role of the school library to adolescents and to the new Education Curriculum for Comprehensive Sexuality Affectivity and the Ministry of Education. Today, young people are exposed to a lot of changes, both internally and externally, which reflects the imminently need of having reliable and quality information to support the decision-making. Therefore, the objective of this work is to establish the relationship between the informational needs of adolescents on the issue of sexual and reproductive health and the school library as an information source to meet those needs. Thus, the proposal of this paper consist in an active role by the school library not only as an information generator but also as support for the Study of Education Programs for Integral Sexuality and Affectivity and adolescents, this with new services and products specializing in the topic of sexuality.Ítem The purport of metadata in libraries(2013-04-06 05:46:30) Rodríguez García, Ariel AlejandroA lot of metadata structures for describing information resources created by humans to be used by them. For a pair of decades, the Semantic Web activity is focused on the representation of data through the creation of profiles that automatically pass information systems, allowing the filtering, selection and connection of different pieces of information. At the present time, guidelines for acquiring information, process and disseminate, conducive to professional librarians entering different markets will require greater knowledge and expertise. The purpose of this paper is to show how the metadata are being used to organize and control a wider range of information resources in the collections of digital libraries and institutional repositories. After reviewing the literature on the metadata, which relate to the way they are understanding the metadata in libraries, we conclude that the bibliographic traditions and metadata activity, substantive elements the third movement of cataloging, are proposed outside the course that had Bibliographic Control in standardizing and unifying the standards of description.Ítem An approach to the poem "Arte Poética" by Jorge Luis Borges(2013-04-06 05:46:30) Chaves Salgado, LorenaThis article presents a reading of the poem 'Arte Poetica' by Jorge Luis Borges, developing theoretical aspects that relate to the analysis of poetry. ‘Arte Poetica’ describes the work of the poet and what it means to write poetry, which is understood by Borges as an act and as a creative process.Ítem Classification of free software oriented at the integral automation of libraries according to the level of complexity of the library: simple libraries, libraries of medium complexity and libraries of high complexity(2013-04-06 05:46:30) Fernández Morales, MynorThis article presents a proposal to classify oriented software automation of libraries according to the following sublevels: a simple library, library of medium complexity or high complexity libraries. To classify a library in each of these sublevels, six variables are used to perform the appropriate sizing, which are: type of library, the collection size, type of materials handled, number and type of users served by the library, the level of expertise of human resources that handles the library, and finally the technical and economic capacity to take into the library. Besides classifying libraries also is classified the free software oriented automation of these as the following sublevels: simple software, software of medium complexity and high complexity software. For this second classification, used seven criteria including: the level of robustness of the database engine that supports the application, the level of parameterization, the platform on which the software is developed, the type of support provided to the computer application, the level of ease for the development of new requirements, software interoperability, and finally the management of international standards to import and export information. At the end is included a list-oriented software classified the automation of libraries.
