Abstract:
I have done a comparative gender study of Library of Congress Classification from 1900 and 2001. I have also used a hermeneutic method and ideological critics to find out what picture of women the both systems shows. In my comparative study of the both systems I have found low update of classes which relates to women in the new classification system. Men seem to be a norm in the system, because men are not defined in classes related to both men and women. But many classes related to women are named Women as and Women in The study also shows that women are more related to subjects about family and marriage than men are. In classes for work and studies women are defined as another society group than the norm, the man. The old system from 1900 follows the historical context from the time of 1900. The new system follows a gender hierarchy where the man has the dominated role, according to Yvonne Hirdmans theory about the gender system.

Abstract:
The problem of linguistic and structural bias in the subject vocabularies used by libraries has been the subject of varying degrees of scrutiny in the cataloging literature of the past several decades. This study examines the Library of Congress subject headings involving sex and gender from 1988, 1993, and 2003. Changes to the headings are tracked and analyzed. Comparisons are made between recommendations made in the literature and changes to the subject vocabulary; the impact of the changes on the appearance of bias on the basis of sex and gender in library catalogs is discussed.

“Brazil’s Popular Groups: a Collection of Materials Issued by socio-political, Religious, Labor and a Minority Grass-roots Organizations” (BPG) é uma coleção microfilmada que reúne grande variedade de documentos impressos relacionados a grupos populares brasileiros, publicados desde a década de 1960 até a atualidade. Reunidos a partir de meados da década de 1980 pelo escritório de representação da Biblioteca do Congresso norte-americano no Rio de Janeiro – inaugurado em 1966 –, os materiais na BPG estão divididos por períodos e organizados sob diferentes categorias. Mais de trinta bibliotecas dos Estados Unidos, além de instituições de memória e pesquisa da Europa e do Brasil – entre elas a Biblioteca Nacional – possuem microfilmes desta coleção. Interessada em investigar as condições socio-históricas que permitem a constituição de coleções que ganham dimensão pública e os lugares que ocupam tais artefatos, a pesquisa analisa a BPG a partir de sua relação com contextos politicos norte-americanos e brasileiros, atentando para distintas temporalidades e subjetividades que marcaram a sua produção, bem como para sua circulação. O objetivo é dar visibilidade à historicidade da coleção, à construção narrativa de seu colecionador e a alguns dos significados e lugares que lhe foram atribuídos ao longo de sua existência.
Brazil’s Popular Groups: a Collection of Materials Issued by socio-political, Religious, Labor and a Minority Grass-roots Organizations (BPG) is a microfilmed collection that brings together a wide variety of printed documents related to Brazilian popular groups, published since the 1960s until the present time. Gathered for the first time in the mid-1980s by the representative office of the Library of Congress in Rio de Janeiro – inaugurated in 1966 – BPG materials are divided by periods and organized under different categories. More than thirty libraries in the United States, as well as memory and research institutions in Europe and Brazil – including the National Library – have microfilms of this collection. Interested in investigating the socio-historical conditions that allow the constitution of collections that gain public dimension and the places that occupy such artifacts, the research analyzes the BPG from its relation with North American and Brazilian political contexts, paying attention to different temporalities and subjectivities that marked its production, as well as its circulation. The aim is to highlight the historicity of the collection, the dynamics of the process of narrative construction of its collector, and some of the meanings and places that have been attributed to it throughout its existence.

Full text
Abstract:
Keyword searching and controlled vocabularies such as Library of Congress subject headings (LCSH) proved to work well together in automated technologies and the two systems have been considered complimentary. When the Internet burst onto the information landscape, users embraced the simplicity of keyword searching of this resource while researchers and scholars seemed unable to agree on how best to make use of controlled vocabularies in this huge database. This research looked at a controlled vocabulary, LCSH, in the context of keyword searching of a full text database. The Internet and probably its most used search engine, Google, seemed to have set a standard that users have embraced: a keyword-searchable single search box on an uncluttered web page. Libraries have even introduced federated single search boxes to their web pages, another testimony to the influence of Google. UNT's Thesis and Dissertation digital database was used to compile quantitative data with the results input into an EXCEL spreadsheet. Both Library of Congress subject headings (LCSH) and author-assigned keywords were analyzed within selected dissertations and both systems were compared. When the LCSH terms from the dissertations were quantified, the results showed that from a total of 788 words contained in the 207 LCSH terms assigned to 70 dissertations, 246 of 31% did not appear in the title or abstract while only 8, or about 1% from the total of 788, did not appear in the full text. When the author-assigned keywords were quantified, the results showed that from a total of 552 words from304 author-assigned keywords in 86 dissertations, 50 or 9% did not appear in the title or abstract while only one word from the total of 552 or .18% did not appear in the full text. Qualitatively, the LCSH terms showed a hierarchical construction that was clearly designed for a print card catalog, seemingly unnecessary in a random access digital environment. While author-assigned keywords were important words and phrases, these words and phrases often appeared in the title, metadata, and full text of the dissertation, making them seemingly unnecessary in a keyword search environment as they added no additional access points. Authors cited in this research have tended to agree that controlled vocabularies such as LCSH are complicated to develop and implement and expensive to maintain. Most researchers have also tended to agree that LCSH needs to be simplified for large, full text databases such as the Internet. Some of the researchers have also called for some form of automation that seamlessly links LCSH to subject terms in a keyword search. This research tends to confirm that LCSH could benefit from simplification as well as automation and offers some suggestions for improvements in both areas.

The artistic contributions of Portinari, and of many other Brazilian and Latin American modern artists, have not been adequately examined as part of the visual history of the twentieth century. Although by no means comprehensive, this study employs an holistic approach to re-examining Portinari's Library of Congress murals in an attempt to understand better not only these distinctive murals, but also the historical significance of this twentieth century artist.

Abstract:
Purpose- The aim of this master’s thesis is to analyse the dichotomy between west and east and how this is seen in the following two libraries; Library of Congress (LC) and Bibliotheca Alexandrina (BA). I want to analyze if the portrait of east, as slow and hostile, and of west, as welcoming and forward, and how this, if at all, is actually seen in LC and BA. The presence and use of patriotism and nationalism in libraries is also examined. I asked myself the following questions: 1) How do LC and BA present themselves on their websites and how does this correspond to the dichotomy?, 2) How do LC and BA relate to patriotism on their websites?, and 3) Can one see what, if anything, LC and BA say about each other and how does this correspond to the dichotomy? These are questions that libraries world-wide might gain from to ponder, how and why, a western norm is almost always seen as superior to an eastern option.   Method- The approach was norm critical analysis of LC and BA’s websites. The method used was comparative text and image studies combined with netnography. Benedict Andersons and Jürgen Habermas’ theories about patriotism and nationalism was used, as well as Edward Saids Orient perspective. Andersons’ idea of an imagined community was also central.   Key Findings- The analysis shows that the dichotomy is actually the other way round, BA are the modern and welcoming ones, while LC are more traditional by way of expressing themselves. The dichotomy is also in some cases even very misleading of how the East is interpreted by the West. The conclusion is three major findings, 1) BA want to create and share knowledge both with each other and with the world as a whole, whilst LC is more about gathering knowledge and keeping this in the library for the sake of the United States welfare, 2) LC speak of themsleves as modern and of BA as ancient just as the dichotomy often display the two of them, but this is not a correct statement; BA has, for instance, modern western superheroes displayed on their website for children, while LC, on the other hand, has heroes such as the late American president Abraham Lincoln and American veterans on display for children (in other words, mostly an American perspective that one might find difficult to relate to if being a non-american citizen, while BA is more global with well-known cartoon figures), and lastly, 3) LC displays patriotism through stories of war by having a prominent section dedicated to American veterans on their website, while BA speaks more of a patriotism through a proud cultural heritage.   Originality/value- This kind of study had not been done before in LIS research.   Paper type- This is a two years master’s thesis in Library and Information Science (LIS) in Archive, Library and Museums studies

Abstract:
La Clasificación de la Biblioteca del Congreso de los Estados Unidos (Library of Congress Classification, LCC por su abreviatura en inglés) uno de los sistemas de organización del conocimiento en bibliotecas más empleadas a nivel mundial por su estructura y alcance y por su apoyo en la conexión con los recursos de información requeridos, presenta diferencias respecto a la complejidad, actualización y atingencia respecto al desarrollo de investigaciones en Historia Universal y de América Latina. En tal sentido esta investigación busca comprobar tales diferencias respecto a la realidad histórica y bibliográfica peruana, para lo cual se propone estimar el grado de correspondencia existente en 180 temas (acontecimientos históricos y personajes) en función de aparición y no aparición tanto en la sección F3442 – F3447 de la LCC “Peru”, localizada en la clase F, “Historia de las Américas”, subdivisión “Peru” F3400 –F3700, como en seis autores reconocidos en bibliografía peruana (periodo histórico 1492 – 1919) seleccionados sistemáticamente del Sistema de Bibliotecas de la Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP). Dos tablas de grados se proponen para estimar la correspondencia, adaptadas de la escala de Likert, las cuales componen el instrumento de medición. Después de contabilizar en sumatorias, porcentajes y proporciones, se concluye que el grado de correspondencia existente entre las estructuras del conocimiento mencionadas es de 2.970/1, “bajo”, no obstante es diverso el conjunto de proporciones, como de grados, tanto para cada autor, como para cada periodo. El autor de mayor proximidad en grado de correspondencia es Fisher, para su bibliografía de 1989, con 1.692, “alto”, y el de mayor lejanía en grado es Porras, para su obra de 1963, con 3.974, “muy bajo”. Para el caso de los periodos, el de mayor proximidad en grado de correspondencia es “Emancipación e Independencia del Perú (1820 – 1830)” con 2.217/1, “alto” y el de mayor lejanía es “Virreinato del Perú (1548 – 1824)” con 4.042/1, “bajo”. No obstante, se sugieren más estudios en Perú como en América Latina tanto para otros campos temáticos de la LCC, como también en correlación con sus precedentes teóricos.
The Library of Congress Classification one of the most widely used knowledge organization systems in libraries worldwide for its structure and scope and for its support in the connection with the required information resources, presents differences regarding complexity, updating and compliance with respect to the development of research in Universal and Latin America, history. In this sense, this research seeks to verify such differences with respect to the Peruvian historical and bibliographic reality, for which it is estimated the degree of correspondence existing in 180 subjects (historical events and characters) based on appearance and not appearance in LCC “Peru”, section F3442 - F3447, located in F class, “History of the Americas”, peruvian subdivision, F3400 –F3700, as in six authors recognized in Peruvian bibliography (historical period 1492 - 1919) systematically selected from the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP) library system. Two tables of degrees are proposed to estimate the correspondence, adapted from the Likert scale, and consist the measuring instrument. After counting in summations, percentages and proportions, it is concluded that the degree of correspondence between the aforementioned knowledge structures is 2,970 / 1, "low", however the set of proportions, as of degrees, is varied for both author, as for each period. The author of the closest degree of correspondence is Fisher, for his 1989 bibliography, with 1,692, "high," and the one with the greatest distance is Porras, for his 1963 work, with 3,974, "very low." In the case of the periods, the one with the closest degree of correspondence is “Emancipation and Independence of Peru (1820 - 1830)” with 2,217 / 1, “high” and the one with the greatest distance is “Viceroyalty of Peru (1548 - 1824)” with 4.042 / 1, “low”. However, more studies in Peru and Latin America are suggested for LCC in other thematic fields as well as in correlation with their state-of-the-art approach.

Abstract:
Vad denna utvärdering försökt få svar på är hur tillgängligheten för HBT-litteratur ser ut i de system som används hos privata och offentliga aktörer – internetbokhandlar och bibliotekskataloger tillgängliga via internet. Detta medförde ett antal mer praktiskta underliggande frågor om hur trädstrukturen är designad, vilket typ av språk som används och hur lätt det är att förstå, huruvida det finns särskilda kategorier för litteratur med HBT-innehåll och huruvida det finns direktlänkar mellan litteratur med HBT- innehåll. De system som testades var internetbokhandlarna Amazon (både den amerikanska versionen och det brittiska dotterbolaget), The Book Depository och Adlibris samt de klassificeringssystem som används av nationalbiblioteken i de länder där dessa bokhandlar har sitt säte (USA, Storbritannien och Sverige): Library of Congress Classification, Dewey Decimal Classification och Klassifikationssystem för svenska bibliotek. Två av bibliotekssystemen (LC och DDC) hade inte en trädstruktur som var tillgänglig för kunderna att se och navigera igenom, medan den tredje (SAB) erbjöd en struktur med både klassifikationskoden och svenska ord, även om det inte var optimalt konstruerade kategorier och förgreningar. Ingen av dem hade gott om länkar, om ens några, till annan litteratur med liknande innehåll. Internetbokhandlarna hade välutvecklade men inte för specifika trädstrukturer med lättförstådda namn och gott om länkar till annan litteratur. Två av dem (The Book Depository och Adlibris) hade inga huvudkategorier tillägnade HBT-material vilket däremot Amazon UK och Amazon US hade. Alla bibliotekssystemen skulle behöva omarbetas för att tillgängligheten för litteratur, och i synnerhet HBT-litteratur som var fokus i denna utvärdering, ska bli god. Library of Congress och British Library skulle behöva upprätta trädstrukturer för kunderna att använda sig av och alla tre behöver se till att en kategori där all HBT- litteratur samlas finns på den högsta nivån. Internetbokhandlarna å andra sidan behöver inte göra mycket för att tillgängligheten i deras system ska bli god: Adlibris och The Book Depository behöver precis som bibliotekssystemen upprätta en HBT-kategori i trädstrukturen men i övrigt är de privata aktörerna fullt godkända. De båda Amazon- filialerna var de aktörer visade sig ha den bästa tillgängligheten av alla.
What this investigation has tried to find out is how easily availabie LGBT literature is in the systems that are used by private companies and the public sector - online book shops and library catalogues available online (OPACs). This entailed a number of more practical underlying factors regarding the design of the tree structure, what kind of language is used and how easy it is to understand, whether or not there are special categories for LGBT-related literature and whether or not there are direct links between literature with LGBT content. The systems investigated were the online book shops Amazon (both the American version and the British subsidiary), The Book Depository and Adlibris along with the classification systems used by the national libraries in the countries where these book shops reside (the US, the UK and Sweden): Library of Congress Classification (LC), Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) and Klassifikationssystem för svenska bibliotek (SAB). Two of the library systems (LC and DDC) did not have a tree structure available for the customers to see and navigate through, while the third one (SAB) offered a structure with both the classification code and Swedish words explaining what the codes meant, even if the categories and subdivisions were not optimally constructed. None of them had very many links to other literature. Two of them (The Book Depository and Adlibris) did not have main categories specifically for LGBT content which both Amazon US and Amazon UK did. All the library systems could use a revision to ensure that literature, and particularly LGBT literature as that was the focal point of this investigation, is easily available. The Library of Congress and the British Library need to establish a tree structure their clients could use and all three need to make sure they have a category where LGBT literature is collected and available at the root. The online book shops on the other hand do not need to do much to improve the availability of their systems: like the library systems, Adlibris and The Book Shop need to create a category of LGBT literature in the tree structure but besides that the private companies pass with credit. The systems used by the Amazon branches proved to have the greatest availability of all the systems investigated.

Abstract:
The main focus of this master’s thesis concerns the relation between subject representation, power and gender. Classification systems and subject heading lists are products of their cultural and social context and some subjects and disciplines are given a greater value than others. Our aim in this thesis is twofold; to discuss and critically analyse the prevailing gender norms that are expressed trough classification systems and subject heading lists and to examine how they manage to represent gender studies as a multidisciplinary subject in theory as well as in practice. We are also discussing the particular problems with the representation of multidisciplinary subjects in general. The analysis is grounded in the field of gender studies, where feminist, masculinity and queer theory are included, and the area of critical classification theory. The classification systems and subject heading list that are discussed here are DDC, SAB, SAO, LCSH and KVINNSAM. In the case of DDC and SAB, the analysis concerns the hierarchal structure and principal arrangement of subjects. The focus in the analysis of SAO, LSCH and KVINNSAM is on the assigned subject headings and the lists’ possibilities to adequately represent gender studies. The result of this study shows that both the systems and the subject heading list have considerable problems with integrating and fully representing gender studies as a multidisciplinary subject. It also shows that the available vocabularies for describing gender and feminist literature are very limited. The practise in indexing and classifying multidisciplinary subjects in general are neither sufficient nor consistent.

Abstract:
Over the last decade, the rapid growth and adoption of the World Wide Web has further exacerbated user needs for e±cient mechanisms for information and knowledge location, selection, and retrieval. How to gather useful and meaningful information from the Web becomes challenging to users. The capture of user information needs is key to delivering users' desired information, and user pro¯les can help to capture information needs. However, e®ectively acquiring user pro¯les is di±cult. It is argued that if user background knowledge can be speci¯ed by ontolo- gies, more accurate user pro¯les can be acquired and thus information needs can be captured e®ectively. Web users implicitly possess concept models that are obtained from their experience and education, and use the concept models in information gathering. Prior to this work, much research has attempted to use ontologies to specify user background knowledge and user concept models. However, these works have a drawback in that they cannot move beyond the subsumption of super - and sub-class structure to emphasising the speci¯c se- mantic relations in a single computational model. This has also been a challenge for years in the knowledge engineering community. Thus, using ontologies to represent user concept models and to acquire user pro¯les remains an unsolved problem in personalised Web information gathering and knowledge engineering. In this thesis, an ontology learning and mining model is proposed to acquire user pro¯les for personalised Web information gathering. The proposed compu- tational model emphasises the speci¯c is-a and part-of semantic relations in one computational model. The world knowledge and users' Local Instance Reposito- ries are used to attempt to discover and specify user background knowledge. From a world knowledge base, personalised ontologies are constructed by adopting au- tomatic or semi-automatic techniques to extract user interest concepts, focusing on user information needs. A multidimensional ontology mining method, Speci- ¯city and Exhaustivity, is also introduced in this thesis for analysing the user background knowledge discovered and speci¯ed in user personalised ontologies. The ontology learning and mining model is evaluated by comparing with human- based and state-of-the-art computational models in experiments, using a large, standard data set. The experimental results are promising for evaluation. The proposed ontology learning and mining model in this thesis helps to develop a better understanding of user pro¯le acquisition, thus providing better design of personalised Web information gathering systems. The contributions are increasingly signi¯cant, given both the rapid explosion of Web information in recent years and today's accessibility to the Internet and the full text world.

The purpose of the study is to analyze the factors that helped to materialize the national library digital preservation projects. Through description, interpretation, juxtaposition, and comparison, this study research the concepts of the digital preservation projects from Library of Congress and National Library of Australia, which include the role, the mission, the legal deposit policy, the background, and the relevant factors of the digital preservation standards and strategy. Finally come up with the suggestion of the digital preservation projects of our own. The results of this study include 15 common factors and 3 different factors. The common factors are: 1.The national libraries are responsible for the legal deposit policy due to the copyright act;2.Emphasize on the digital preservation;3. Emphasize on the legal deposit policy;4.There is no common agreement on digital resources deposit policy;5.Carry out national digital preservation projects;6.Execute the web capture projects;7.Adopt the strategy of collecting digital resources together; 8.Construct the descriptive metadata standards;9.Adopt several metadata schemas; 10.Construct preservation metadata standards;11.Digital preservation strategy;12. Adopt official digital preservation standard OAIS;13.Adopt HTTrack web capture tool;14.Emphasize on the permanent access of the digital resources;15.Appropriate digital resources access strategy. The different factors are: 1.The development of the national digital preservation projects;2.The collection of the web-based resources projects;3.The selection decision of the digital resources. The conclusions of the study are: 1.The importance on digital preservation of a national library;2.The issues of legal deposit policy and the deposition of the digital resources;3.Successfully promote the development of a digital preservation project;4.Digital resources collection policy and selection guidelines;5.Web resources cataloging standards;6.Metadata standards;7.Descriptive metadata;8.Preservation metadata;9.Digital repository;10.Digital preservation strategy;11.Access and services of digital preservation;12.Succesful factors of promoting digital preservation projects.

Full text
Abstract:
Based on previous researchers’ criticism of Euro-American bias inherent to universal analogue and digital knowledge organisation systems, this combined qualitative and quantitative postcolonial critical discourse analysis investigates the constructed meanings behind the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) controlled vocabulary hosted by the Word Digital Library’s (WDL) metadata scheme. This is done with a sample of metadata pertaining to their African cultural heritage collection. The study aims to see if the restricted controlled vocabulary exclude and marginalise situated African knowledge thereby conflicting with their ideological imperative of promoting international understanding. The use of postcolonial theory and discourse analysis theory as both the analytical theoretical framework and methodological approach, reveal that Westerncentric terms from colonial discourse dominate but do not constitute the entirety of the discourses represented by the subject headings. Relying on the assumption that the cataloguers select subject headings based on the rule of literary warrant, the reason for this preference imply an unbalanced collection rather than a biased knowledge organisation system. Therefore, the study suggests the creation of positive rhetorical spaces (Olson, 2002) by adding preferred terms that stem from marginalised situated knowledge systems that too are represented by the existing resources. This will allow for several discourses to co-exist achieving thereby a better fit with the culturally inclusionary aims of the WDL not dependent on the limits of their collection. Also acknowledged is metadata’s pragmatic rationale in support of standardisation for enhanced search and discoverability, but questioned is the sustainability of this principle if the goal is to promote equitable understanding and representation to a wide and international user group. Ultimately, recognising the bias within knowledge organisation systems will serve inclusivity more, rather than traditional claims of universality which conceal exclusion.

Abstract:
This paper introduces the history of library classifications application in Spanish libraries and discusses the validity of criteria followed in the recent adoption of the Library of Congress Classification (LCC) by some Spanish university libraries. The suitability of the scheme for subject indexing and retrieval is analysed contrasting advantages and disadvantages from several viewpoints: practical aspects of implementation, value as a knowledge organization system, efficacy for subject representation and retrieval, user friendliness and adequacy to functionalities required in Web OPACs. From the theoretical perspective, the lack of adherence of LCC to some fundamental canons for building library classifications defined by Ranganathan is also pointed out. On the overall, the paper argues in favour of decimal classification systems.

Full text
Abstract:
The system of Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) has been the subject of feminist, critical examinations since the 1970s. Subject headings pertaining both to feminist literature and to women in general have been analyzed to determine how LCSH represents these topics. In this study, I contribute to this body of scholarship by analyzing and reporting on the nature of the LCSH subject representation of 52 core works published from 1986-1998 in the areas of feminist theory and women’s movements. These monographs were selected from the 3rd edition of Women’s Studies: A Recommended Bibliography (Krikos & Ingold, 2004). The analysis of works of/on feminist theory and on women’s movements is preceded by a pilot study of 24 core works on the topics of Communications, Film, Television, Media, and Journalism. I utilize the abstracts of these works in Krikos & Ingold (2004), as well as the works themselves, to establish the nature of each monograph’s perspective and scope. To this information I compare the LC subject headings employed in the bibliographic records representing these works in the Library of Congress Online Catalog in order to assess the headings’ usefulness as surrogate representations of these monographs in terms of accuracy, relevance, specificity, and currency. I present my findings as sets of problems and solutions illustrated with specific examples. Overall, LCSH is not able to represent adequately the 24 works in the pilot study sample or the 52 core works in the main study based on its current application. I conclude with a proposed set of subject headings as suggested by the abstracts of these works.

Este estágio curricular integrou-se na dinâmica do Espaço Pessoa tendo sido implementada por uma equipa multidisciplinar especialmente direcionada para satisfazer as necessidades específicas dos toxicodependentes, sem-abrigo, dos trabalhadores do sexo, entre outro tipo de público-alvo. Além das problemáticas específicas relacionadas com a saúde, com a falta de retaguarda familiar, com o desemprego, com a falta de apoio social, com as condições económicas precárias em que vivem chegando ao ponto de dormirem na rua, estas pessoas debatem-se com um problema nuclear: a exclusão social. Estigmatizadas e marginalizadas no seu quotidiano tendem cada vez mais a isolarem-se da sociedade traçando trajetórias de vida desviantes e muitas vezes autodestrutivas, sobretudo ao nível emocional e comportamental como é o caso dos toxicodependentes ou dos sem-abrigo. Outros fatores como a baixa autoestima e a falta de um projecto de vida viável torna a intervenção psicológica junto destes públicos multiproblemáticos mais desafiante requerendo abordagens terapêuticas mais abrangentes, diversificadas e inovadoras.Trabalho e família são os dois domínios mais afetados pela droga devendo as múltiplas terapias adotadas promover a reinserção social pelo trabalho e o envolvimento da família (Fernandes, 2009).

Estudamos a cortiça como material construtivo, de forma a responder ás necessidades contemporâneas arquitectónicas. Partindo de uma breve análise da formação e evolução do material foi visto que é originaria do sobreiro e se regenera a cada 9 anos. Ao contrario do que possa parecer ela faz parte da cultura humana como material técnico desde sempre, essencialmente devido á sua capacidade isolante e flutuante. Desde que o Homem começa a produzir vinho ela assume um papel importante para vedar vasilhas, ânforas e garrafas, mantendo-se até hoje um material de excelência para este efeito. Reúne uma vasta lista de particularidades e excelentes características, é leve, impermeável, flexível, isolante, biodegradável, entre outras. Na arquitetura ela apresenta a capacidade de isolar e revestir. Devido ao coeficiente de condutibilidade térmica baixo a cortiça mostra uma boa competência para a função isolamento térmico e acústico. No revestimento é um material sublime e elegante capaz de transformar atmosferas e tornar espaços únicos que interagem com o passar do tempo, devido á alteração de cor com a chuva e o sol. O projeto de intervenção situado em Santa Maria da Feira exibe e demonstra o potencial da cortiça. O largo é transformado num espaço flexível, orgânico explorando as qualidades intrínsecas do material.
Abstract: We study the cork as a building material, in order to give an answer to the architectural contemporary needs. Starting from a brief analysis of the formation and evolution of the material, we could see that it comes from the cork tree and it regenerates every 9 years. Contrary to what it may seem, the cork has always been part of the human culture as a technical material, mostly due to its isolating and floating ability. Since man started to produce wine, the cork assumes an important role for sealing vessel, amphora and bottles, remaining until today an excellent material for this purpose. It gathers a wide list of particularities and excellent features, it’s it is lightweight, waterproof, flexible, insulating, biodegradable, among others. In architecture the cork maintains the ability of insulate and coat. Due to the low thermal conductivity coefficient, the cork shows a good competence to the function of thermal and acoustic insulation. In coating it is a sublime and elegant material able to transform unique spaces that interact over time, due its colour changes with the rain and the sun. The intervention project, located at Santa Maria da Feira, shows and demonstrates the cork’s potential. The square is transformed in a flexible, organic space, exploring the intrinsic qualities of the material.

Abstract:
INTRODUCTION While the concept is widely defined and interpreted, all Web 2.0 tools have certain characteristics in common; they are collaborative in nature, interactive, and dynamic. The Science and Engineering librarians at the University of British Columbia are collaborating with their liaison departments to record science and engineering podcasts, host them and share them with a wider audience. OBJECTIVES In this session, we discuss the use of podcasting as an outreach tool that connects a large academic science and engineering library with its users and raises users’ awareness of additional library services. Functionality, usability and practical applications of podcasting tools are reviewed. OUTCOMES At the end of this session, we will have demonstrated: 1) Overall usability of podcasting academic science and engineering content; tips and tricks when creating and tailoring podcasts to your community needs; 2) Use of podcasting as an outreach and community engagement tool in academic libraries and as a supplement for the traditional academic information resources. DISCUSSION The strength of podcasting, to allow content to be created by the users for the users, makes it an appealing addition to the academic librarians’ toolbox. Podcasting is a service that many of our users might not expect from their library, which makes it a unique and attractive offering. It requires few resources, and the end result might exceed librarians’ expectations. We found podcasting to be a robust outreach tool and a service that raises the profile of the library and as such creates an opportunity for users to find additional library resources. Nevertheless, it is necessary for academic librarians to critically evaluate the continuous innovations of Web 2.0 technologies on an ongoing basis so that they are best prepared to put them into the appropriate context amongst other relevant and important information.
