“…Even in India, it has been observed that the computerization has led towards implementation of a good information system for service delivery, planning, monitoring, and supervision [19]. To achieve what have been discussed above, in summary, it is necessary to consider [20][21][22] (a) free information flow which is enabled by provision of technological infrastructure and organizational culture that secures support, enthusiasm and cooperation of staff and management; (b) information to be sent in a way that is useful to others without compromising confidentiality and packaged for all partners with considerable integration across organizational barriers; (c) working cooperatively and sharing information within and outside; and (d) information channels that guide workers to the pertinent data.…”

“…Health information sharing for chronic care has been discussed in the CSCW community; for example, Bansler and Kensing (2010) highlight the importance of delivering information structures that cross boundaries, both institutional and professional. Health information seeking and health information needs have also been studied extensively in the information sciences community (Case 2006;Fisher and Julien 2009). In addition, new information seeking practices, focusing on seeking out the experiences of fellow patients, are being further investigated for chronic conditions (Wicks et al 2010).…”

Abstract. People are increasingly involved in the self-management of their own health, including chronic conditions. With technology advances, the choice of self-management practices, tools, and technologies has never been greater. The studies reported here investigated the information seeking practices of two different chronic health populations in their quest to manage their health conditions. Migraine and diabetes patients and clinicians in the UK and the US were interviewed about their information needs and practices, and representative online communities were explored to inform a qualitative study. We found that people with either chronic condition require personally relevant information and use a broad and varied set of practices and tools to make sense of their specific symptoms, triggers, and treatments. Participants sought out different types of information from varied sources about themselves, their medical condition, and their peers' experiences of the same chronic condition. People with diabetes and migraine expended great effort to validate their personal experiences of their condition and determine whether these experiences were 'normal'. Based on these findings, we discuss the need for future personal health technologies that support people in engaging in meaningful and personalised data collection, information seeking, and information sharing with peers in flexible ways that enable them to better understand their own condition.

“…Existen un buen número de aproximaciones empíricas al campo de las estrategias de documentación académica por parte del alumnado universitario (Becker, 2003;Calva, 1999;Case, 2006;Chowdhury y Chowdhury, 1999;Cole, 1997 Kerins y otros, 2004;Liu y Yang, 2004;Valentine, 1993;Zhang y otros, 2005). De las que se centran en el análisis de la utilización de las bibliotecas como fuentes de documentación destacan las aportaciones de: Bancroft y otros (1998), quienes midieron el uso de la biblioteca de la Universidad de Washington por parte del alumnado de dicha institución; Hiller y Self (2002), que analizaron la frecuencia de utilización de las bibliotecas de las Universidades de Washington y Virginia entre los años 1998 y 2001; Hayden y colaboradores (2005), quienes describieron la frecuencia de uso por parte de los alumnos de los servicios bibliotecarios del Instituto Tecnológico de Waterford; Rey (1999), que describió el uso de las bibliotecas universitarias catalanas en el periodo comprendido entre 1995 y 1997; Perea (2002), que analizó el perfi l del usuario del servicio de bibliotecas de la Universidad de A Coruña; Arias y Simón (2008), que estudiaron, mediante encuestación, los hábitos de uso de las bibliotecas de la Universidad Complutense de Madrid.…”

Resumen: En este trabajo se presentan los resultados de un estudio sobre la autovaloración de los conocimientos y habilidades del alumnado pregraduado de la Universidad de las Islas Baleares (UIB) para la búsqueda de información con fi nes académicos. También se describen diversos aspectos sobre la utilización de algunos servicios bibliotecarios así como de Internet. El estudio se basó en la aplicación de un cuestionario a un total de 1.025 universitarios seleccionados aleatoriamente. De los resultados alcanzados se desprende que el alumnado universitario se considera, por norma general, competente en el manejo de Internet para documentarse con fi nes académicos, pero no en el uso de las bibliotecas. Lógicamente, la frecuencia de uso de Internet también es muy superior a la de los otros recursos de búsqueda de información académica. Cabe plantear, en este sentido, la necesidad de mejorar las competencias y estrategias de documentación del alumnado basadas en el uso de las bibliotecas, recurso que no excluye el empleo de Internet, pero que a buen seguro puede mejorar la búsqueda documental en aspectos como el rigor, la fi abilidad y la potencialidad de cubrir mucho mejor las necesidades informacionales del alumnado.Palabras clave: competencias académicas, alfabetización informacional, estrategias de búsqueda documental. Strategies used by university students in searching for information for academic purposes
