The purpose of this study is to understand the mediation strategies adopted in the representation of information in digital platforms, used in the Archive services, and especially if they are focused on the end user. So we started by addressing the organization and representation of information in the context of information mediation, equating how the infocomunicacional phenomenon, which occurs through digital platforms, can result in the design of a "digital mediation of information," according the current paradigm of Information Science. The mediation skills required of information professionals and the technological and digital user's skills in information literacy were highlighted. Then, we tried to know the current state of use of digital platforms for Archives services, and software in use, in Portugal and other countries. Using an empirical study and a triangulation of information gathering techniques that consisted of surveys by interview and questionnaire and observation using the analysis grid, we were able to get the perspective of all concerned the theme under study. The results have shown us the main difficulties that users experience with some aspects of information representation on digital platforms of archives services. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper aims at dealing with ethics and its applicability to the conduct of daily life in organizations and in the profession. It constructs the definition of ethics, ethics on a daily basis, ethics and codes of conduct for organizations and ethics in the profession. It ends by questioning the role of being a professional and why having a profession. It approaches ethics in accordance with the new moment we live in the infosphere and the behavioral changes of beings increasingly affected by technologies. It aims to lead the reader, both as a citizen and as a professional, to reflect on their behavior and conduct nowadays and calls for more ethical conduct. It is a theoretical, reflective, applicable and qualitative study. It concludes that professions emerge, evolve and disappear with the evolution of society, production methods and technologies. Another conclusion raised from this study is that conduct and behavior change as society and culture evolve, but ethics persist. Researchers concluded through this study that it is possible for people, both in the staff and in the professional field, to have ethical conduct and be prosperous in times when technology and infosphere prevail.

This paper establishes a proposal for the implementation of the Information Inclusion and Literacy Laboratory (LIL) for adults and seniors without mastery of technological tools. The methodological parameters seek to involve public school students in the teaching-learning process and use of new technologies for the target audience. Thus, it is expected that the implementation of the Inclusion and Literacy Laboratory (LIL) meets the expectations of creating a multidisciplinary space to promote Digital Inclusion, especially with the participation of children and adolescents who in this new technological-informational scenario and Cognitive disorders are diffusers of citizen autonomy.

The main objective of this article is to report the comparison of the use and management of information and communication technology implying the executive power of Brazilian and Portuguese municipalities. The research was constituted in a multiple case study, involving IT managers of the municipal administration of the Metropolitan Region of Campinas in Brazil and the Northern Region of Portugal, Porto. The relevance of the comparative study between Brazil and Portugal in the management and use of information systems and technology is justified by the pertinence and scope that benchmarking has for the elaboration of public policies and epistemological discussion in the fields of information science, of public management. Therefore, it was observed that 70% of managers do not adopt or ignore models of IT governance practiced by the market. It has been found that digital governance is still treated in an incipient way and does not have a holistic and integrated approach to political and strategic guidelines in its global context.

This paper presents the results of a research project undertaken in the Information Science Center of the Communication and Information Science Department of the Faculty of Letters of the University of Porto. It discusses the qualification of the information professional in the Digital Era, pointing out the importance of education as a tool associated to the promotion of economic growth, generation of wealth and income distribution. In the context of Information Science, Librarianship, Archival Science, Museology, and related areas, the reviewing of educational projects is necessary as the result of the new demands for professionals with inter-trans-multidisciplinary skills, with the ability for innovation and the capacity of dealing with digital technology tools, unhindered by geopolitical limitations and able to deal with cultural diversity. In this context, the objectives of this article are, firstly, to analyze the organizational model of teaching and research of a sample of the information schools of the iSchools consortium, with a focus on helping decision-making with regard to modernization and innovation in the teaching and research plans in the field of Information Science; and secondly, to contribute to the design of teaching and research laboratories applied to information, communication and culture, in line with the demands of the Network Society and the Digital Era, having as a basis an analysis of the model followed by iSchools.

The main purpose of this article is to demonstrate from an epistemological point of view that trans and interdisciplinary Information Science (IS) as developed in University of Porto is the result of an integrated dynamic based on the technical and practical legacy of Archive Science, Library Science (Librarianship/Documentation) and Museology, essential to the systematic, problematic and scientific study of the Information as an object. And in particular the Information System which overcomes the anachronistic reductionism of concepts such as fonds and collection. The present work also aims to emphasize that the triad information -- document -- communication is not only the investigation and action field of the IS as a specific discipline, but also of the IS in the interdisciplinary frame of the Information and Communication Sciences, as it is been developed in University of Porto.
