“…The public right to information, one of the tools to combat corruption and enforce citizenship and democracy principles (Shado, 2004;Mamede, 1997;Santos et al, 2008), has become a part of modern democracies from which military administration cannot escape. Governmental transparency obligations have been guaranteed by rule of law in many countries, including Brazil, and often involve the disclosure of past crimes committed during eventual dictatorships.…”

“…Governmental transparency obligations have been guaranteed by rule of law in many countries, including Brazil, and often involve the disclosure of past crimes committed during eventual dictatorships. Etzioni (2014) has defined transparency as the informational gain on a given government or entity provided by the entity itself and has called the attention to the limits of loose transparency regulations, arguing that information must be supposed to be accurate and accessible, reliable, understandable and readable, for people have not the time nor the training (called by Santos et al, 2008 as informational competence) to analyze data bulks or follow public affairs. When it does not happen and if the regulation fails to oblige such an institutional commitment, an illusion of openness remains over transparency in fact.…”

Purpose After discussing recent academic attempts to assess the status of worldwide military transparency and accountability in nations which adopted open governance paradigms, this paper tries to show that such countries allegedly committed to democracy and open data should coherently fight for military transparency and citizen inclusion in the governance process, avoiding the prevalence of military secrecy over military transparency. The most important contribution of the paper is discussing the lack of military transparency, until now taken for granted as a traditional armed forces ’informal right, and proposing concrete definitions of military transparency and secrecy within the context of the open government partnership. In addition to the definitions, an exploratory model of how military accountability can affect military transparency has been suggested. Design/methodology/approach For the proposed endeavour, first a description on the context of open governance where the involved public defence sector is inserted is given. Second, notions of military transparency and secrecy are proposed. Finally, the paper discusses when military secrecy could be granted and what it means for military information to be unjustifiably kept secret. At the end, the urge of the citizen involvement to open the still insulated military governance systems is highlighted. Findings This paper proposes notions of military secrecy and military transparency and suggests the second term as a broader notion which includes the first. This paper also indirectly identifies the conditions for the inadmissibility of military secrecy and calls attention to the bad externalities of unjustifiably holding public information back. Research limitations/implications The consideration of the proposed notions of military secrecy and military transparency could minimize the traditional excuse of military confidentiality that armed forces worldwide tend to not to convey public information to the public while making military accountability perfectly possible without overexposing its strategies regarding national defence. Practical implications Providing armed forces and citizens with concrete definitions of military secrecy and military transparency could not only help military institutions to develop a sincere transparency policy based on open government terms, but it could also guide interested media and citizens with their control and oversight tasks by establishing clear limits for alleged secrecy while releasing the borders for military transparency. Social implications The suggested approach for military transparency and secrecy is not only adequate to the globalized strategy of open governance but also mainly a way to finally reward citizens’ often misused and manipulated trust. Originality/value It is the first attempt of an academic definition for military secrecy and military transparency taking into consideration the open government terms and aiming at improving military accountability.

“…Una de las tendencias más aceptadas y extendidas en los especialistas del tema es la de considerar a la Alfabetización Informacional como metalfabetización, competencia genérica o concepto paraguas bajo el cual se recogen las otras alfabetizaciones (KULTHAU, 1993;BAWDEN, 2002;PONJUAN, 2002;SANTOS, ANDRADE et al, 2008;PINTO et al, 2009;JACOBSON, 2011;URIBE, 2012).

La evolución de alfabetismos se produjo como resultado de la transición de una cultura oral a una cultura letrada. El presente estudio examina las principales tendencias de la multialfabetización a principios del siglo XXI. Se combina el método de análisis documental y el método bibliométrico en el análisis de la evolución de los alfabetismos, a través de documentos que establecen pautas en su fundamentación y el comportamiento de la producción científica por año en la primera década del siglo XXI. Se revela el lugar destacado que ocupan la Alfabetización Mediática y la Alfabetización Informacional con respecto al resto de las expresiones que surgen. La Alfabetización Multimedia es un alfabetismo poco abordado en la literatura como proceso de formación de competencias vinculadas a la recepción y producción de mensajes a partir de la convergencia de lenguajes y medios. La noción de Alfabetización Mediática e Informacional (AMI) constituye la principal tendencia que integra los diversos alfabetismos que promueven la participación activa en la construcción y transformación del individuo y la sociedad.

ResumoA apreensão da informação pelos indivíduos tem grande possibilidade de se realizar à medida que eles dominem as ações relacionadas à localização, ao acesso e ao uso das fontes de informação para a construção do conhecimento. Essas ações podem ser compreendidas como competência em informação. A partir do exposto, o objetivo deste artigo é discutir as possíveis interrelações entre o uso de fontes de informação e as competências em informação. Com base na pesquisa bibliográfica, investigaram-se as conexões existentes entre fontes, indústria e competência em informação. É discutido o papel das bibliotecas na efetivação do encontro entre as necessidades de informação dos usuários e as possíveis fontes de resposta. As reflexões obtidas indicam a atuação da indústria da informação na contemporaneidade, os desafios apontados pela tecnologia da informação como vetor dos fluxos informacionais, as questões relacionadas à competência e às fontes de informação como elo de desenvolvimento social e econômico, além da inserção de uma agenda de pesquisas para tal temática. Palavras-chave: Competências em informação. Construção do conhecimento. Fontes de informação. Indústria da informação. Abstract Information acquisition by individuals can be obtained as far as these individuals can achieve and dominate the actions related to place, access and use of information sources to build up knowledge. These actions can be understood as information literacy. The aim of this article is to discuss the possible interrelations that can be established between the use of information sources and information literacy. Based on a bibliographical research it was
