In the aftermath of a global health pandemic, youth mental health is a public-health emergency. The acceleration of digital technologies, catalysed by COVID-19, has seen the growing significance of online support and social media for promoting health behaviours. This exploratory study utilised a participatory-action research (PAR) design to investigate adolescents’ (N = 10; aged 16–18) perceptions and experiences of social media with respect to mental-wellbeing content. Data were collected using a focus-group method. Young people (YP) also evaluated digital resources adapted from the Super Skills for Life (SSL-A) intervention. Thematic analysis elicited three thematic categories: young people’s relationship with social media, perceptions and experiences of support pathways, and cultivating mental-health and wellbeing provision for a digital generation. Findings revealed that YP were discerning digital citizens and willing to use technologies for support. Although exposure to social-media images and videos can convey social norms and shape normative perceptions of healthy wellbeing, mental-health literacy was a critical factor prompting change. Future co-production research is needed to design, develop, and evaluate digital resources adapted from evidence-based programmes to contribute to hybrid models of mental-wellbeing provision that can offer YP timely and appropriate support and a choice of delivery modalities.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a great impact on the process of integrating digital technologies in higher education and caused digital stress among professors, mainly in countries with a lower level of digitalization. In this work, quantitative research was carried out on the stress of professors in Venezuela due to the digitalization of their teaching activities caused by the pandemic, and gender gaps were identified in this regard. This digital stress was compared with that of professors in other countries with a low level of digitalization. For this purpose, a questionnaire designed by the authors was used. The questionnaire was distributed to a sample of 129 Venezuelan professors and 132 professors from countries with low digitalization levels. As a result, it was found that Venezuelan professors have lower digital competence and lower digital stress than their colleagues in weakly digitized countries, and that digital stress decreases as digital competence increases. Moreover, among Venezuelan professors, there was a strong gender gap in digital stress, which was higher among females in all subject areas, except for Health Sciences. This gender gap is specific to Venezuela since it differs from that in countries with low digital levels. According to the results, we urgently recommend investing resources in the digital training of faculty members, especially in regards to the integration of female professors.

Learning-focussed educational models require the development of pedagogical, methodological, assessment and technological competences among the faculty community. The COVID-19 pandemic has accentuated the need for this training. This study evaluates the impact of the training project “Educate to Transform” on teacher attitudes, knowledge and on the implementation of innovative teaching methodologies. There were 695 faculty participants in the program conducted at the Universidad Francisco de Vitoria (UFV). Participants included full-time professors (FULL-PROF) and part-time professors (PART-PROF). The measurement instrument was validated using the entire sample and a subsample of 357 participants was used to analyse the impact of the program (pre and post measurement). Professor attitudes and knowledge of or familiarity with innovative methodologies and their application in the classroom were evaluated. The findings show that the program improved the attitudes of teachers towards innovation, raised the level of awareness and number of methodologies implemented in the classroom. The methodology towards more experiential and collaborative learning is effective in transforming teaching practice. Furthermore, the implementation of the program through the CANVAS platform, making teachers live the experience as learners, seems to have contributed to improve the teachers' attitude towards the LMS. The only difference found among the participants was a worse attitude towards innovation on the part of medical teachers, with a clearly differentiated profile of teachers and students, as well as a greater implementation of active methodologies by teachers with a lower teaching load. Overall, it may be concluded that the program achieved its proposed objectives.

We live in an age marked by technological advances. From an educational point of view, a model which requires methodologies adapted to digital media has consolidated, implying that the development of digital competence among the teachers has taken a special importance in order to adapt the learning and teaching process to each individual needs, favouring inclusion of students with special educational needs. This research aims to analyse the digital competency of teachers specialized in the attention to diversity. To this end, a non-experimental, descriptive investigation has been carried out, with a sample of 60 teachers currently working in both the Special and Ordinary Education models. The European questionnaire "DigCompEdu" has been used as analysis tool. Data obtained allows us to conclude that the level of digital competence of teachers who attend diversity in Special Education Schools is lower than the level shown by teachers of Ordinary Schools, showing statistically significative differences in three of the analysed areas. These areas are related to the use of digital competence, the adaptation of evaluation strategies and development of digital competency among the students., Vivimos en una época marcada por los avances tecnológicos. Desde el punto de vista educativo, se ha consolidado un modelo que requiere metodologías adaptadas a los medios digitales, lo que supone que el desarrollo de la competencia digital entre el profesorado sea un aspecto que ha cobrado especial importancia para adaptar la enseñanza a las necesidades individuales del alumnado, favoreciendo así la atención a las necesidades educativas especiales. Esta investigación tiene como objetivo analizar la competencia digital del profesorado especialista en atención a la diversidad. Para ello se ha llevado a cabo una investigación no experimental y descriptiva, con una muestra conformada por 60 docentes en activo del modelo educativo especial y del modelo ordinario. Como instrumento de análisis se ha utilizado el cuestionario europeo “DigCompEdu”. Los datos obtenidos permiten concluir que el nivel de competencia digital del profesorado que atiende a la diversidad del alumnado en los centros educativos especiales se encuentra en niveles inferiores respecto al manifestado por el profesorado de los centros ordinarios, observando diferencias estadísticamente significativas en tres de las áreas analizadas. Estas áreas están relacionadas con el uso de la competencia digital, la adaptación de estrategias de evaluación y el desarrollo de la competencia digital entre sus estudiantes.

Covid‐19 disrupted the in‐person teaching format of anatomy. To study changes in gross anatomy education that occurred August‐December, 2020 compared to before the pandemic, an online survey was distributed to anatomy educators. The 191 responses received were analyzed in total and by academic program, geographic region, and institution type. Cadaver use decreased overall (before: 74.1 ± 34.1%, during: 50.3 ± 43.0%, P < 0.0001), as well as across allopathic and osteopathic medicine, therapy, undergraduate, and veterinary programs (P < 0.05), but remained unchanged for other programs (P > 0.05). Cadaver use decreased internationally and in the US (P < 0.0001), at public and private (P < 0.0001) institutions, and among allopathic medical programs in Northeastern, Central, and Southern (P < 0.05), but not Western, US geographical regions. Laboratories during Covid‐19 were delivered through synchronous (59%), asynchronous (4%), or mixed (37%) formats (P < 0.0001) and utilized digital resources (47%), dissection (32%), and/or prosection (21%) (P < 0.0001). The practical laboratory examination persisted during Covid‐19 (P = 0.419); however, the setting and materials shifted to computer‐based (P < 0.0001) and image‐based (P < 0.0001), respectively. In‐person lecture decreased during Covid‐19 (before: 88%, during: 24%, P = 0.003). When anatomy digital resources were categorized, dissection media, interactive software, and open‐access content increased (P ≤ 0.008), with specific increases in BlueLink, Acland’s Videos, and Complete Anatomy (P < 0.05). This study provided evidence of how gross anatomy educators continued to adapt their courses past the early stages of the pandemic.

The mere appearance of a foreign word does not necessarily mark the birth of a loanword, which requires documented usage by the speech community. Relatively little research has been dedicated so far to the “prenatal” stage that would investigate the tentative infiltration of foreign-derived words. Nyet, a borrowing from Russian, is taken as a case in point. Although its first recorded instance in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED3) is dated to 1928, it had been increasingly recognized in English for several decades. This article focuses on textual attestations for nyet discovered in a range of digital resources, including British and American newspaper archives, and discusses their usefulness as potential antedatings for OED3’s entry.

“I’m writing a sermon…” prefaces most of the questions that come to the Pitts Theology Library Reference Desk from alumni. Candler School of Theology alumni regularly return to the library to inquire about the resources and databases that remain available to them through Emory University Libraries in their new ministerial settings. In addition to these one-off reference interactions, Pitts librarians also engage with alumni through a variety of means, including outreach and events, instruction, and graduation preparation and celebrations. During the academic years of 2019–20 and 2020–21, however, alumni needs and requests increased and transformed as public libraries closed in-person services and university campuses were limited to currently enrolled students and faculty. This paper will explore the evolving needs of seminary alumni brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, during which Pitts witnessed and managed an uptick in requests for access to collections, library spaces, and online databases.

The author continues with her study initially presented in the article “The possibilities of information search in electronic platforms of Russian libraries” (A. V. Kulikova. The possibilities of information search in electronic platforms of russian libraries // The Journal of Encyclopaedic Studies. – 2019. – No 2. – P. 30–52). She demonstrates the methods to be applied for business information search related to local encyclopaedic book publications and identifies the principles to find recent publications promptly and to satisfy user demands most effectively. The bibliographic search success depends upon how the user understands the system. Optimum query formulation saves time and excludes information noise. The key characteristics of library digital information retrieval systems are discussed. The computer systems of 113 regional libraries were analyzed within the study. The following automated library information were tested objectively: IRBIS, RUSLAN, OPAC-Global, Foliant, MacWeb. The author does not intend to advertise or subvertise any ALIS. Her main goal is to reveal the convenient and speedy retrieval methods with existing functionalities.

The article provides a broad overview of the poetry produced in Italian-speaking Switzerland over the past twenty years. The first part presents three channels of poetry dissemination (journals, editorial projects, and literary festivals) both within and outside the Swiss-Italian territory. The second part reflects on some critical readings of Swiss-Italian poetry and addresses the reasons why some forms of poetic writing have appeared later or to a lesser degree within the Swiss territory than they have in Italy, despite the two countries’ proximity. From this analysis, it is argued that the lack of strong counter styles in Swiss-Italian poetry has hindered the development of more mature and diverse forms of poetic expression. In the conclusion, it is argued that the non-use of digital resources for poetry production and dissemination in Italian-speaking Switzerland, as well as an often short-sighted cultural policy, are other important points to address in order to promote dialogue within and beyond the Swiss-Italian border. L’articolo fornisce una panoramica ampia della poesia prodotta nella Svizzera italiana negli ultimi vent’anni. La prima parte indaga tre principali canali di diffusione (riviste, case editrici, festival letterari) dentro e fuori il territorio della Svizzera italiana. La seconda parte riflette su alcune letture critiche della poesia nella Svizzera italiana e cerca di stabilire le ragioni per cui alcuni tipi di scrittura poetica siano giunti tardi o poco sul territorio svizzero rispetto all’Italia, nonostante la vicinanza tra i due paesi. Da questa analisi, si argomenta che la mancanza di controtendenze forti nella poesia nella Svizzera italiana abbia impedito lo svilupparsi di forme di espressione poetica più mature e diverse. In conclusione, si ritiene che il mancato uso di strumenti digitali per la produzione e la disseminazione della poesia nella Svizzera italiana, oltre che una politica culturale spesso poco lungimirante, siano temi importanti da affrontare per promuovere dialogo dentro e oltre il confine della Svizzera italiana.

Information is power, very important and valuable commodity in everyday human activity as evidenced with the current digital divide that equal access to information is essential to the development of information society which also applies to people with disability. The aim of the study was to establish the information seeking behavior of visually impaired (VI) students at University of Nairobi library services. The total population of the study comprised of two units of analysis which were 32 visually impaired students and 6 librarians in charge of the visually impaired students. The study carried out a survey by means of questionnaires. The study employed Wilson’s (1999) theory of information behavior model which provided a framework in mapping the student’s information patterns. Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) and Microsoft excel 2016 were used to analyze the data. The response rate was 78.95% from all the units of analysis. The findings indicated that majority of the respondents 72% were female. The findings further revealed that most Visually impaired students were getting assistance from a sighted person or by use of computers, speech synthesizers, screen readers, brail prints, and audio books. A smaller number of the respondents (2.44%) used mobile app called tap tap. The study indicated that majority 68.3% of the Visually impaired students relied on aiding tools.

Digital libraries provide an easy and convenient source of data for journalistic academic research. In this paper, the author answers the question of whether the most well-known socio-political Polish press titles published between 1918 and 1939 are available online and to what extent they are fully digitised and accessible in digital libraries. Through media content analysis and the press content analysis methods of Walery Pisarek, all the digital resources available for an ordinary Internet user were browsed. The main role of the analysis was to establish which journals and periodicals were published weekly and as daily newspapers. Also, the nature and political leanings of press publications were taken into consideration (each press title was usually associated with a particular party). At the same time, the texts were profiled as regional, national, Catholic, etc. ­Finally, an attempt to develop a typology of the given titles is made.

The aim of this research is to evaluate the effects of education given through digital resources on the language didactic potential of students with the views of teachers. 40 primary school teachers who teach 1st-4th grade students in various provinces of Kazakhstan participated in the research. In the research, case study, which is one of the qualitative research methods, was used. The research data were collected through a semi-structured interview form prepared by the researcher in order to get the opinions of the teachers who voluntarily agreed to participate in the research. Research data were analyzed by content analysis technique. As a result of the research, it has been determined that teachers are prone to use technology and partially use digital resources in their lessons. However, teachers stated that they are more open to the use of digital resources if the opportunity is given. In addition, although most of the teachers state that the use of digital resources has no effect on increasing the workload of the teacher, some define it as a workload. Teachers, who believed that it partially increased teacher success, stated that it had a positive effect on student success and student motivation. Research findings reveal that teachers need to receive supportive training on the use of digital resources in education.

This article presents the testimonies of 24 faculty members of Arts and Humanities from five Spanish universities on the use of digital technology resources and their benefits for learning and educational inclusion of students with disabilities. They were selected by their own students with disabilities for their inclusive practices. Using a qualitative methodology, two semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with each participant to analyse different areas of inclusive pedagogy: beliefs, knowledge, designs and actions. The data were progressively analysed through a system of categories and inductive codes. The results show the digital resources that faculty members put into practice, as well as the different uses they make of them. In addition, the participants highlighted a number of benefits that digital technology has for the learning of all students, including those with disabilities. Finally, these results are discussed with those of previous studies, offering recommendations for the university to move toward a more inclusive education.

Purpose This study aims to compare similarities and differences in library and information science (LIS) and non-LIS undergraduates’ conceptions and perceptions of smart libraries via drawing analysis. Design/methodology/approach In this study, a total of 156 undergraduate students described their perceptions of smart libraries as drawings and textual descriptions. A modified coding scheme with 8 categories and 51 subcategories was used to analyse the undergraduate students’ drawings. Findings Most of the undergraduate students’ conceptions of smart libraries still involve self-checkout and learning/reading, focusing on information appliances, technical services, activities and objects. The differences are that the LIS undergraduates’ drawings showed smart libraries with robots, interactive book borrowing with technology tools, intelligent services, location-aware services or mobile applications, whereas non-LIS undergraduates presented smart libraries as readers (learners), other activities and no smart technology services. LIS undergraduates focused on providing patron services with technologies. Non-LIS undergraduates were more likely to draw a complex space with immediate access to books or digital resources, quiet reading and the freedom to engage in library activities. Originality/value The results provide a baseline for future research on the topic and provide preliminary evidence of using the methods to discern LIS and non-LIS undergraduates’ conceptions of smart libraries.

The Laboratory of Oral History and Images (LABHOI), a division of the history department of the Universidade Federal Fluminense, Brazil, celebrated thirty years of work in 2012. Since its creation in 1982, the LABHOI has been developing projects on the history of memory of different Brazilian communities, based on both oral and visual sources and the relationship between them. Despite its academic origin, the main purpose of the LABHOI’s projects is to engage communities in the production of their own history through visual and oral records. One of the results of this work has been the organization of a digital database accessible to the public at large. The LABHOI has become an important source for theoretical and methodological debates about the uses of visual representations of the past, and its members have published books and articles in this field. Recently, the LABHOI turned to the production of experimental videos based on the idea of the “videographic writing” of history, a modality of historical text that can perfectly mix sounds and images of recollections.

The issues of networked library interaction is examined and exemplified by the experience of the Pushchino Scientific Center Central Library (division of the Library for Natural Sciences of the Russian Academy of Sciences, LNS RAS). Ready-made software solutions designed by LNS RAS specialists enabled the participating libraries to implement computer-aided collection development system, union reference aids, online ordering, lending and refusal registration, digital resources access system. The authors focus, in particular, on specific networked interactions between the scientific library and users of its information services. Within the framework of the Library-Research Institute of Pushchino Center cooperation, the main efforts of the Library are focused on implementing modern network technologies, providing access to information resources, research information support, developing union Internet-based catalogs within the online order system, designing problem-oriented databases and maintaining current list of networked resources in physico-chemical biology. New library services are described, e.g. bibliometric and patent research, design and maintenance of the library website. Approaches to building network interaction with libraries of various types, institutions of memory (archives, museums, etc.), publishers’, and mass media, are discussed. The authors come to the conclusion that networked cooperation is efficient organizational and technological instrument to provide equal use opportunities for every member of library information network.

International students’ capacity to undertake a digital journey to embrace new digital resources has real life implications in terms of their ability to adjust to their new environment. This article explores links between international students’ use of online social networking sites and their social networks, including drawing on digital resources beyond only those from their home country. Given the increased focus on online learning and engagement with students in higher education, there is an even greater need to examine students’ digital journeys, in terms of their capacity to navigate both their academic worlds and everyday lives abroad. This article demonstrates that students continue to use a range of online sources from their home countries, even as they transition to their new lives in Australia. This has implications for the way institutions communicate with international students more broadly.

Teachers have to use technology and active methodologies as fundamental tools for teaching basic nutrition issues. The objective of this research was to analyze the potential of a training plan on nutritional education carried out using both educational technology and a gamified methodology. For this, a quasi-experimental design was used in a sample of 237 Spanish students of the third level of Secondary Education. After the training experience on teaching was carried out, data were collected with a questionnaire. The results showed that the teaching of nutritional education through gamification fosters motivation, the relationship among students, autonomy, time perception during classes, and the improvement of marks. It can be concluded that gamification is an effective teaching method for nutritional education for Compulsory Secondary Education students. Resumen. Los docentes deben utilizar la tecnología y las metodologías activas como herramientas fundamentales para la enseñanza de temas básicos de nutrición.

As herbaria move to digitize their collections, the question remains of how to efficiently digitize collections other than standard herbarium sheets, such as wood slide collections. Beginning in September 2018, the Harvard University Herbaria began a project to image and digitize the wood slides contained in the Bailey-Wetmore Wood Collection. The primary goal of this project was to produce images of the wood tissue that could be used for specimen-level research and to make them available on the internet for remote scholarship. A secondary goal was to establish best practices for digitizing and imaging a microscope slide collection of tissue sections. Due to the size of the wood slide collection (approximately 30,000 slides), a medical histology scanner and virtual microscopy software were used to image these slides. This article outlines the workflow used to create these images and compares the results with digital resources currently available for wood anatomy research. Prior to this project, the very little of the Bailey-Wetmore Wood Collection was cataloged digitally and none of it was imaged, which made access to this unique collection difficult. By imaging and digitizing 6,605 slides in the collection, this project has demonstrated how other institutions can make similar slide collections available to the broader scientific community.

The article describes the problem of low availability and inaccessibility of new information technologies in the Kazakh language in universities, analyzes the pros and cons of electronic textbooks based on theoretical data. The textbooks used by teachers show the effectiveness and usefulness of multimedia, in order to make them more valuable, it is necessary to add digital resources, such as academic games and interactive websites. The questions of the popularity of textbooks compiled using a computer are touched upon, the analysis and testing of programs for compiling electronic textbooks is carried out. The importance of methodological support of the textbook in the creation of electronic information tools is analyzed. Automation of all the main stages of training with electronic textbooks is provided before monitoring the content of the educational material and making recommendations for final grades, thanks to which all mandatory educational materials are replaced by bright, interesting, with a share of intelligence game moves, i.e. widely used multimedia, including interactive and voice. For students and teachers of chemistry, the authors have compiled an electronic textbook in the Kazakh language, the effectiveness of the textbook has been analyzed and studied in accordance with theoretical data and surveys, according to the results of the study, positive indicators of the assimilation of educational material have been demonstrated.

The article elucidates directions of scientific-research work development in the field of forming and using library collections in SPSTL SB RAS. Within the frames of the Library scientific projects some problems of research activities – value, ideological, communicative and others – aimed at active practical reform and widening the professional field of scientific libraries system’ resource base are presented. The review of researches, done by the authors, includes the analysis of regularities and tendencies of the departmental and territorial system of libraries collections forming and preserving as well as approaches, forms and methods of studying documentary resources in the retrospective and at present – in the context of growing indicators of digital resources usage. The article exposes, on the one hand, the objective preconditions for libraries’ interaction and, on the other hand – negative tendencies such as growth of collections breaking up and non-coordination of document resources forming policy, further deepening of departmental and regional differences. The problem of territorial libraries cooperation with the aim of growing the joint territorial library stock effectiveness is actual. Scientific-research work (SRW) in the large modern library is an independent complex kind of activities, promoting its development as an open social system and its vital preservation in the environment of other information structures. Departmental, regional, national research programs determine libraries scientific research themes. The results of libraries scientific-research work are regarded as equal with other scientific-research establishments’ contribution into the solution of the large-scaled scientific-industrial problems.

Rehabilitation therapists have traditionally been key players in the development and delivery of community-based programs, and the value of those programs is well documented. The onset of COVID-19 necessitated the closure or shift of many of these programs to virtual delivery, resulting in a change in the role of the rehabilitation therapist. The challenges and opportunities of traditional and virtual programming are explored. Factors influencing the participation of seniors in these programs are examined. The impact of COVID-19 and the resulting digital resources on future community-based practice is discussed.

The article deals with a topical problem – the development of distance education in the context of modern society’s digitalization. This problem is considered in view of the growing importance of electronic educational resources (EER) to increase the educational process efficiency through a remote interactive mode. The analysis of the given results helped to highlight the current problems of modern education in a distance format: the lack of contact interaction between the participants, which allows implementing a differentiated approach and solve educational problems; compliance with the mandatory requirements of distance education by students (student’s rigid self-discipline and high motivation); free access to EER; an increase in the number of independent tasks and the absence of constant feedback from students, etc. To solve the mentioned problems, it is necessary to ensure the organization of the educational process aimed to develop students’ sustainable interest in learning.

En la actualidad existe un creciente uso de la tecnologia en la educacion como apoyo al proceso de ensenanza-aprendizaje que permite desarrollar las competencias basicas, disciplinares y profesionales de los alumnos para obtener el mejoramiento de sus habilidades que potencialicen la consolidacion del conocimiento. Por tal motivo se ha implementado el uso de las plataformas educativas en las aulas del Instituto Tecnologico Superior del Estado de Hidalgo. El uso de las TI como apoyo dentro del aula es altamente favorable en el area de ciencias basicas debido a la aplicacion de los recursos digitales, el empleo de plataformas educativas de acceso libre y plataformas educativas para la ensenanza de las matematicas; estos recursos permiten tanto la mejora de la comprension de los temas para los diversos estilos de aprendizaje como la innovacion de la practica docente; la eleccion de los materiales requiere del conocimiento tanto de aspectos pedagogicos, disciplinares, de aplicaciones moviles, tecnologias emergentes, sistemas de gestion de aprendizaje, aprendizaje adaptativo y recursos educativos abiertos entre otros; ademas de seleccionar el material, el docente debe de implementar las TI en una secuencia o plan de trabajo con la finalidad de administrar adecuadamente el uso de estos recursos teniendo en cuenta las ventajas y desventajas de los diferentes recursos digitales, de tal manera que permita mejorar el desempeno academico de los estudiantes en el area de ciencias basicas. El uso de la tecnologia tiene en cuenta como elemento principal al estudiante; este proceso se denomina aprendizaje centrado en el alumno, que se refiere al modelo de aprendizaje donde el estudiante debe desarrollar sus capacidades y aplicarlas en situaciones que el profesor le deba plantear. Para ello el profesor debe tener el conocimiento si los estudiantes cuentan con dispositivos moviles, tabletas, computadoras personales o de escritorio con enlace a internet y cuales son sus capacidades de almacenamiento o de reproduccion de audio, video y texto; a partir del conocimiento adquirido, el docente elegira y disenara los recursos didacticos y los implementara en la plataforma de la institucion educativa, esto conlleva a que el alumno cuente con el material en todo momento lo que le permitira reforzar los conocimientos obtenidos en el aula dando paso al incremento de los indices de aprovechamiento. Currently there is a growing use of technology in education as a support to the teaching-learning process that allows the development of basic, disciplinary and professional competencies of students to obtain the improvement of their skills that potentiate the consolidation of knowledge. For this reason, the use of educational platforms has been implemented in the classrooms of the Instituto Tecnologico Superior del Estado de Hidalgo. The use of IT as a support in the classroom is highly favorable in the area of basic sciences due to the application of digital resources, the use of free access educational platforms and educational platforms for the teaching of mathematics; these resources allow both the improvement of the understanding of the topics for the different learning styles and the innovation of the teaching practice; the choice of materials requires knowledge of pedagogical and disciplinary aspects, mobile applications, emerging technologies, learning management systems, adaptive learning and open educational resources among others; in addition to selecting the material, the teacher must implement IT in a sequence or work plan in order to properly manage the use of these resources taking into account the advantages and disadvantages of the different digital resources, so as to improve the academic performance of students in the area of basic sciences. The use of technology takes into account the student as the main element; this process is called student-centered learning, which refers to the learning model where the student must develop their skills and apply them in situations that the teacher should raise. For this, the teacher must have the knowledge if the students have mobile devices, tablets, personal or desktop computers with internet link and what are their storage capacities or audio, video and text reproduction; from the knowledge acquired, the teacher will choose and design the didactic resources and implement them on the platform of the educational institution, this leads to the student having the material at all times which will allow him to reinforce the knowledge obtained in the classroom giving way to the increase of the rates of achievement.

A proposta deste artigo consiste em discutir as potencialidades das tecnologias digitais e, mais especificamente, da realidade aumentada (RA), no ensino de Geografia, para o fortalecimento e desenvolvimento do raciocínio geográfico. À vista disso, para o desenvolvimento deste trabalho, a metodologia se pautou em uma pesquisa exploratória, que permitiu compreender a temática pesquisada a partir de investigações, subdivididas em três momentos teóricos, sendo eles: breve reflexão sobre os aportes teóricos, a respeito da educação geográfica e da construção do raciocínio geográfico; o uso das tecnologias no ensino e, também, a contextualização da realidade aumentada no processo de ensino-aprendizagem; e, por fim, a exemplificação das potencialidades da RA com o uso do aplicativo HoloGLOBE. Como resultado do trabalho, revelou-se a significativa importância de utilizar recursos digitais como este, no processo de ensino-aprendizagem de Geografia, principalmente para o ensino de fenômenos abstratos, os quais não são possíveis de serem acessados na realidade. Diante disso, é possível afirmar que a realidade aumentada é uma tecnologia que tem a potencialidade de auxiliar professores e alunos no desenvolvimento e exercício do raciocínio geográfico.

Weeding is a systematic approach to the removal of resources from a library’s collection. In the weeding process, materials are identified for withdrawal in order to maintain a collection that is accurate, updated, well-used, meets the needs of the users, and is in line with the library’s mission. When weeding tangible resources that are part of the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP), a depository library must ensure that its weeding policy follows the Legal Requirements & Program Regulations of the Federal Depository Library Program and any separate guidelines set by the Regional Depository. However, there are no specific rules or guidelines to follow when weeding digital FDLP resources. This means that individual libraries have more leeway to craft digital weeding procedures that best serve their institution, patrons, and the community at large. In this article, we will discuss initial considerations when developing a process for weeding digital depository materials, we will examine different methods for analyzing a digital collection’s size and usage, and we will review methods for maintenance and weeding of digital resources.

O termo subitizing, traduzido para o nosso idioma como subitização, ainda não cunhado fortemente na Educação Matemática, constitui a habilidade em reconhecer um conjunto com poucos objetos, o que, em nossa concepção, tende a se aproximar da capacidade de estimativa do estudante. Sentimo-nos, então, inclinados a investigar indícios da utilização de tecnologias digitais, mediante práticas de numeramento, especialmente no campo da subitização ou estimativa, verificar quais tipos de recursos são utilizados, além da forma como se caracterizam as atividades no âmbito da Educação Básica, por meio da realização de uma revisão sistemática de literatura. De fato, das oito averiguações selecionadas, praticamente nenhuma se refere diretamente à subitização, mas nossas lentes permitiram sinalizar a possibilidade de recursos digitais, bem como de atividades, ambos por nós elencados, capazes de potencializar o aprendizado matemático de estudantes não somente nesse campo, mas abrangendo, inclusive, a estimativa.

We approach creativity in educational design with teachers working together in interdisciplinary communities of practice to develop resources for teaching and learning about climate change in formal school settings. We address climate change as a socio-scientific ‘wicked problem’ and discuss the notion of creativity in educational design in a context of transformative intervention in education leading away from silo academic domain paradigms. We perceived the resources as boundary objects during the process of communication and joint design by the diverse community members. Our interest focused on studying the boundary crossing processes which facilitated creative ideas to come out, selected and transcribed into the actual resources designed. Critical episode analysis showed that boundary crossing mechanisms were employed in the interactions among the educational designers aided by and in interaction with digital media supporting collaboration. These socio-technical interactions functioned as an empowered professional learning and working milieu, within which creative processes and outcomes were nurtured. In particular, educational designers, along with trying to frame climate change as a wicked problem, attempted to address the challenging issue of designing a creative educational resource on this topic. Our research suggests that boundary crossing creativity in interdisciplinary teams of educational designers can be an answer to not only how to focus learning on addressing the grand wicked problems of our times, but also how to deal with the multiple challenges arising from educational design per se.

This study is part of the Project PEERSolvers, which aims at conceptualization and designing an evidence-based intervention to promote young people’s capacities for constructive peer interaction and collaborative problem-solving. Previous research indicates that spontaneous peer interaction is often unproductive (Howe and Mercer, 2010). Thus, scholars (e.g. Dawes & Sams, 2004; Mercer et al., 2004; Wegerif & Scrimshaw, 1997) consider it is important to support young people to constructively participate in a dialogue during collaborative problem-solving. Although much is known about the process of peer dialogue (Howe & Abedin, 2013), the systematization of knowledge about characteristics of dialogue that make collaborative problem solving among peers productive or unproductive is lacking. Therefore, we will set out to determine such features in order to conceptualize the intervention model which will promote constructive dialogue and at the same time prevent the occurrence of undesirable ways of communication in teamwork. Furthermore, research findings suggest that adult scaffolding, especially teachers’ plays important role in building youngsters' capacities for constructive dialogue and that digital media could act as resources for effective collaborative problem-solving (e.g. Hathcock et al., 2015; Ratnasari et al., 2019; Sobko et al., 2020). Thus, we intend to systematically review the relevant body of literature not just to identify productive and unproductive dimensions of peer dialogue, but also to target adult scaffolding techniques and the role of digital media as the potential resources in collaborative problem-solving.

Los clubes de fútbol españoles de Primera División utilizan una amplia variedad de redes sociales, lo que les permite llegar directamente a sus públicos globales. El objetivo de esta investigación fue describir las narrativas digitales que emplean los clubes en sus aspectos de hipertextualidad, multimedialidad, interacción y agenda informativa. Para ello, se analizó una muestra de 6.000 mensajes capturados automática y manualmente de las páginas oficiales en Facebook, Twitter e Instagram de los veinte clubes de la Liga de Fútbol Profesional, detectándose una completa estructura narrativa que se desarrolla cíclicamente en torno a un acontecimiento central, la competición, y a unos personajes principales, los jugadores, para construir la identidad del club mediante una combinación de múltiples recursos digitales. Se pudieron detectar y describir diferencias entre los contenidos y formatos más frecuentemente publicados por los clubes en sus redes y los que recibieron un mayor engagement digital por parte de los usuarios.

While restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic have strongly limited and affected the work of scientists and communicators, the pandemic has also encouraged the development of new ways of networking and public engagement. People have had to resort to virtual events, with a subsequent proliferation of webinars, online meetings, and digital resources. In this situation we have had to find new ways of measuring the impact of these activities. Using the activities of the Italian Lichen Society (Società Lichenologica Italiana, SLI), Google Trends and colleagues’ contributions, we evaluated the performances and impacts of virtual tools on lichenological literacy. We compared the relative success of virtual and in-person events and the effort required; we evaluated followers’ appreciation of various categories of posts on SLI Facebook page; and designed a questionnaire to collate information on individual experiences of in-person and virtual events linked to lichens. As expected, online events generally required less effort to put together and deploy than in-person events and engaged more people, especially when recorded and made available online for a long time. Using online searches for the word “lichens” we found an association with national events, and there was a notable increase in membership of SLI over the last 10 years, demonstrating an increasing interest by people in lichens. Without excluding the positive effects of in-person experiences, we believe that online events offer a powerful tool to help increase interest in, and knowledge about lichens. This interest may help to mitigate the impact of anthropogenic activities on this sensitive component of the ecosystem and help human-lichen relationships.

The author clarifies the corporate library’s definition, specifies its particular qualities and distinctive features. She reviews the issues of education, competences, and advanced training of corporate library staff.The corporate libraries (during the Soviet era they were sci-tech units and trade-union libraries of organizations) are affiliated by both governmental and commercial organizations. As a result of cost optimization, the number of technical libraries decreased, while the trade union libraries completely ceased to exist. However, in every epoch, the mission of institutional or corporate library to satisfy the information needs and demands of workers and their on-the-job training. The collections of corporate libraries comprise digital resources, books, unpublished documents, periodicals and other information sources demanded by the corporate community.In fact, globally, the corporate libraries are the special libraries affiliated by companies and institutions, their units fulfilling information, cultural and educational functions and contributing to corporate efficiency improvement. In Russian library science, the corporate libraries have remained understudied; they are not represented in the Russian Library Association (RLA) or the National Library Bibliographic Classification (LBC). Meanwhile, in foreign countries, the corporate libraries have been well-established institutions with their specific features widely recognized. The author examines the problems the corporate library structure, efficiency and functionality, as well as the competences of staff, their education and experience.The competences and high qualification of corporate specialists enable them to meet information needs of corporate professionals immediately, completely and relevantly and to support strategic decisions. The author specifies the key competencies that contribute to the efficiency of corporate libraries.

In response to the global crisis resulted from the spread of the coronavirus in Brazil, many schools and universities suspended face-to-face classes and began to offer remote classes using digital resources. In this unprecedented crisis, educators, managers and families had to deal with unpredictability and look for new ways of learning and teaching. Based on the paradigm of transmission of mass distribution, remotely teaching has gained strength, with the teacher as the protagonist of the education process. Instead of interactivity, content is emphasized to the detriment of more participatory, dialogic, and collaborative methodologies. It is necessary to prepare teachers and students for the online education modality to face this critical moment. Thus, this article suggests online pedagogical actions supported by the multireferential research-formation and everyday school methodologies, which promote the teachers' and students' participation in an interactive and collaborative way.

Finalmente se plantea que al integrar las tecnologías no solo se optimizan procesos pedagógicos sino a su vez de la vida cotidiana, generando una brecha de cómo las plataformas tienen un campo amplio como en el ámbito estudiantil, logrando conocer el uso correcto de las tecnologías, mas no siendo una herramienta que perjudique la integridad del estudiante o docente, sino saber el beneficio que se obtiene.

Purpose This paper aims to discover the key challenges and identifies reasons for the changing behavior of academic libraries and the role of library professionals, and how can they manage those challenges in a time of change. The paper reveals the most important competencies in a reshaping environment of libraries and the best ways of dealing with change. Library professionals are struggling to reform their traditional ways of working and trying to boost their knowledge and skills as current demand for higher education. Organizations can play an important role to develop willingness for accepting change and reduce stress among employees and prepare them to accept new systems and reality by creating collaborative and supporting environments that provide opportunities for growth and improvement. All library professionals must have the eagerness to keep up with the emerging trends and prepare themselves to accept changes that would have a direct impact on the libraries and the role of library professionals. Academic libraries have similar issues and challenges around the world, those are outcomes of technological advancement, digital resources, innovative services and diversity in higher education; therefore, the role of library professionals is changing. Design/methodology/approach The research method is built on literature reviews from offline and online. The systematic literature review method is used to review full-text databases such as EBSCO, ProQuest, Library Literature and Information Science databases. Basic search options for keyword searching and advanced searching options have been used to retrieve the relevant papers on the right topic. A total of 113 papers were collected at the initial stage, but after their analysis in detail, they were reduced to 52 scholarly and peer-reviewed papers because the rest of the papers did not exactly express relevant content on the topic. Findings Library professionals are struggling to keep up with the new competencies and adopt the innovative system and reality because diversity is rapidly changing. The best ways of dealing with change include reform the traditional ways to new ways of working and create collaboration at all levels. Librarians are under pressure to develop new skills to deal with the current scenarios that are affecting the role of library professionals. Academic libraries have similar challenges in a rapidly reshaping environment that are needed to address by researchers and library professionals for the present and future of academic libraries. Research limitations/implications This paper is a piece of opinion, 52 appropriate papers on the topic have been reviewed from the peer-reviewed journals, not all publications were included. The existing literature described that there is a need for growth and improvement of academic libraries and workforce in financial crises because they play fundamental roles in society by offering services and information resources, so library professionals need to be very aware of these implications. Originality/value The literature on this particular topic is relatively limited. Therefore, this paper is the first to offer a systematic literature review on the changing behavior of academic libraries and the role of library professionals. This paper provides insights into the concept of adopting change and dealing with challenges in a time of change. It adds value to the library and information sciences literature and delivers outlines for the library professionals.

As producers and mediators of digital resources, art librarians frequently interact with the digital humanities in a broad sense. In the following brief overview of recent DH work undertaken in US art libraries, engagement with digital humanities is evidenced by the development of open access projects, the creation of linked data sets and the innovative sharing of art and archive collections to support digital pedagogy. Related activities of the Art Libraries Society of North America (ARLIS/NA), its Digital Humanities SIG and the ARLIS/NA in the Humanities Commons are also discussed.

The current research aims to investigate the effect of employing Collaborative platforms (Microsoft Teams) in developing digital competencies in teaching mathematics among student teachers and their attitude towards Collaboration. The research sample consists of (70) student teachers in the third year, Mathematics Division, the Faculty of Education, Tanta University, who are studying computer teaching course in their specialization of the first semester, the academic year 2020/2021. Students are distributed into two groups: the experimental (students who study through Microsoft Teams Collaborative platforms and consists of 36 students) and the control group (students who study the course through the usual way and consisted of 34). The current research used the quasi-experimental approach based on the experimental design before and after in the presence of the control group, where the cognitive achievement test associated with digital competencies skills in teaching mathematics is applied, besides applying the performance note card associated with digital competencies skills in teaching mathematics before and after for the two groups. However, the measure of attitude towards Collaboration dimensionally is applied for the experimental group only. The research results explore the presence of a statistically significant difference at the level (α≤0.05) between the mean scores of the experimental group and the control group in the post application of the cognitive achievement test related to digital competencies skills in mathematics teaching (as a whole) and at each of its (remembering, understanding, The application) levels in the post application of the performance note card related to the skills of digital competencies in teaching mathematics (as a whole) and for each of its (professional participation, digital resources, teaching and learning, assessment, empowering learners, digital facilities for learners) skills. A statistically significant difference exists when level (α≤0.05) between the frequencies and percentages of the experimental group students’ attitudes towards the measure of participation attitude. There is a significant correlation between the scores of the experimental group and the control group in the post application of the cognitive achievement test related to digital competencies skills in mathematics teaching (as a whole) and their scores on a performance note card related to digital competencies skills in mathematics teaching (as a whole).

Comprender cómo el docente moviliza conocimiento matemático y tecnológico para enseñar exige estudiar la práctica de los profesores de matemáticas cuando utilizan Tecnologías de la Información y la Comunicación (TIC) en el aula de clases. Este artículo presenta una manera de cómo abordar la investigación para profundizar en el conocimiento tecnológico didáctico del contenido (TPACK) de docentes de matemáticas. Para ello, se invita a docentes egresados de la Maestría en Enseñanza de las Matemáticas de la Universidad Tecnológica de Pereira. Todos ellos trabajan en colegios públicos en Municipios de los departamentos de Risaralda y Quindío. Como primer acercamiento, se adelanta una entrevista que permite reconocer sus creencias y conocimientos acerca del tema a través de la planeación de sus clases con uso de recursos digitales. En segunda instancia se observan en el aula, dos clases, en las que se desarrollan temas como la línea recta, la función lineal, sistemas de ecuaciones lineales, solución de problemas, funciones trigonométricas, funciones reales y límite de una función. Con uso de herramientas digitales tales como: GeoGebra, hoja de cálculo, videos, presentadores de diapositivas y una plataforma en línea. Actividad que se registra en videograbaciones. Esta información es tratada con teorías que permiten analizar las prácticas educativas a través de situaciones de transformación, de actividades instrumentadas, y del conocimiento matemático y tecnológico para enseñar. Metodológicamente, se aborda el estudio de casos para profundizar en las relaciones del conocimiento matemático y tecnológico para enseñar matemáticas. Además, se desarrollan estrategias propias para clasificar situaciones de transformación en las que hay actividades de enseñanza instrumentadas. Con estos referentes se analiza y comprende situaciones de transformación en el conocimiento matemático y tecnológico de la enseñanza de las matemáticas.

espanolLa constante digitalizacion de la sociedad y por ende de las organizaciones ha supuesto una redefinicion de los procesos comunicativos. Estos cambios han penetrado con avidez en la gestion de la comunicacion interna, provocando la redefinicion de la vehiculizacion de la cultura organizacional. En un entorno cambiante la gestion de las organizaciones supone implementar nuevas estrategias de comunicacion que aunen la globalizacion y las nuevas tecnologias (Wichels, 2014). En esta linea, hemos analizado el valor del uso de las competencias digitales como elemento de traslacion de la cultura organizacional en el ambito universitario. El estudio se ha realizado a partir del metodo de estudio de caso tomando bajo la premisa de conveniencia cuatro universidades del ambito publico y privado pertenecientes a Espana y Mexico. Se han analizado en el caso de Espana: la Universidad de Malaga y ESERP Business & Law School; y en Mexico la Universidad Autonoma de Tamaulipas y la Universidad del Valle de Mexico. Con el fin de contrastar la penetracion de cultura organizacional de forma simetrica en el modelo universitario publico y privado en el panorama Iberoamericano. Las tecnicas de estudio utilizadas se han basado en la observacion directa no participante, aplicacion de encuestas a publico interno (empleados), realizacion de entrevistas en profundidad a los responsables de la gestion comunicativa y analisis de los recursos digitales utilizados en la comunicacion interna. Como avance de resultados se puede apreciarla aplicacion de dos modelos diferentes con claras influencias continentales. La instrumentalizacion de la cultura organizacional en las universidades estudiadas esta enfocada de forma diferente en funcion de su origen publico o privado, siendo mas efectiva en su penetracion y por lo tanto, en su identificacion en el caso de entes privados. El desafio de la cultura organizacional en el ambito universitario radica en la necesidad de acrecentar el valor identitario a traves de un ideario real y colectivo que se viva y plasme en la gestion cotidiana. EnglishThe constant digitalization of society and therefore of organizations has meant a redefinition of communication processes. These changes have eagerly penetrated the management of internal communication, causing the redefinition of the vehiculization of organizational culture. In a changing environment, the management of organizations means implementing new communication strategies that combine globalization and new technologies (Wichels, 2014). In this line, we have analyzed the value of the use of digital competencies as an element of translation of the organizational culture in the university environment. The study was carried out based on the case study method taking four public and private universities belonging to Spain and Mexico under the premise of convenience. They have been analyzed in the case of Spain: the University of Malagaand ESERP Business & Law School; and in Mexico the Autonomous University of Tamaulipas and the University of the Valley of Mexico. In order to contrast the penetration of organizational culture symmetrically in the public and private university model in the Latin American landscape. The study techniques used have been based on direct non-participant observation, application of internal public surveys (employees), conducting in-depth interviews with those responsible for communicative management and analysis of digital resources used in internal communication. As an advance of results you can see the application of two different models with clear continental influences. The instrumentalization of the organizational culture in the universities studied is focused differently depending on their public or private origin, being more effective in their penetration and therefore, in their identification in the case of private entities. The challenge of organizational culture in the university field lies in the need to increase identity value through a real and collective ideology that is lived and embodied in everyday management.

The findings of the study of the development strategies of the CIS na-tional libraries with the reference to the national specifics of the innovative ac-tivities are presented. The goal of the study is to facilitate the cooperation of the libraries within the Commonwealth of Independent States. The analyzed vast em-pirical data is based on expert assessments, consultation papers, publications in periodicals, reports and the libraries’ websites. Sociological and statistical me-thods and comparative analysis were applied. The major problem the national libraries are facing is due to their different degree of digitalization. Based on the empirical data analysis, the major trends were revealed: the key projects are aimed at providing online access to the possibly most complete collections of the CIS national libraries. The current data provided in the paper are predominantly about technological innovations. The CIS national libraries are focused on the programs of e-libraries including national electronic libraries (NELs); projects of global academic Open Access, and structural transformations (designing virtual reading rooms, digital resources sections, book museums, etc.), and educational projects. Innovations have been the strategic priority of the CIS national libraries. Implementing modern information communication technologies facilitates buil-ding common library and information space of the CIS states, while innovative activities enables sharing plans and projects for the CIS national libraries.
