She's from the Library. She's Rosa Sánchez. Since the start...
of the Bologna Degrees. Can you hear me?
Since the implementation of Bologna in the Degrees
The repercussion of the Library
and ICT
for the studies has been important.
My students... They're over there. They'll know me.
They'll know that I start my subjects in the Master and the Degree
by introducing bibliographic management and databases.
What's an electronic magazine. How to access the Library.
People don't know about these.
They don't know how to access.
I'm surprised year in year out.
When I realise that they don't know how to access.
Year after year students realise the possibilities it provides.
And from home.
She and Ramiro Lorenzo...
answer all of our questions. We're always consulting them.
They're very valuable to us. They've helped us since Bologna started.
I leave you with her hoping you'll learn as much as we do.
Yes. Fine. Thank you for your kind presentation.
Mine will be brief.
We wanted to talk about resources what we tend to call resources...
resources and services.
From UNED's Library.
For Master's students to develop their work...
or doctoral candidates to profit from the experience.
So that you don't waste any time doing bibliographic searches.
That way you can invest it in things as important as these.
Very interesting.
That's why we say we're fortunate
to have a new tool that we didn't have last year.
It works like Google.
It's called Linceo+ and it's a search engine.
It allows the user to do searches from a single point.
In a single search we can consult all of these resources.
Papers, electronic books...
the Library catalogue and our institutional repository.
Doctoral theses read at UNED are there.
As well as a selection of resources which are open access.
The entire selection of open access resources
provide full texts.
How to do that? You go to Library collections...
almost all subjects come up.
There are Law and Psychology databases which are not accessible.
You can't access them via Linceo.
They aren't that relevant.
This is the Library's webpage. This was yesterday.
I'm pleased to see here the scientific legacy of Antonio Quilis.
On the Library's webpage.
This is Linceo+.
When you access the Library...
that's where Linceo+ comes up.
Linceo+ does full searches as indicated in the box.
Or resource by resource.
What happens in "full search"?
If it's the first time we use it...
that's where we should start. We search all.
This is just to see all of the information that emerges.
Besides, if we search all we are given some advice.
If our search is going one way...
perhaps you get a piece of advice.
Advice from the Library telling you to use MLA.
You can use everything. What's the issue here?
The level of document noise.
We discussed this yesterday
with a colleague from the University of Valencia
who had studied in Murcia. She called it "total noise".
We head for total noise which leaves us defenceless.
We can't make decisions.
For that, with full searches...
we may adjust they way we search.
By database, electronic resources or the Library's catalogue.
We search through databases.
They are multidisciplinary.
Foreign, international and national.
Such as Dialnet.
Highly recommendable for studies in Spanish.
And specific of the Humanities.
Also for students of Spanish and for students of English.
I put them there for reference.
We've moved on from searching all to searching through databases.
This one is multidisciplinary.
This is Web of Knowledge. This database is fundamental.
For university teachers.
It's essential to use this database.
If they want accreditation or recognition for their research.
Accreditation to teach in the public university system.
They also need Web of Knowledge for their research to gain recognition.
It's a platform which includes several different databases.
In Web of Science there are citation index databases.
This is another. MLA International Bibliography.
Here we can do advanced or simple searches.
We're allowed to refine our search.
For that we use boolean mathematics. "And" as well as "or".
You should always use "and". "Or" generates too much noise.
We may also refine by search field.
"Subject" or "author" fields. Any of those.
Also by date, etc.
What did I want to say?
When you go to the Library and access any database.
Two key issues. Databases are not the Library.
You see it changes completely. It's no longer Library appearance.
It says we're in ProQuest.
What's ProQuest? I think...
We call that a distributor
of databases and sources.
That's our terrible translation. I'm ashamed.
Especially among English teachers. It's an aggregator.
What does it aggregate?
It gives us tools.
Added value which was lacking in the database.
For instance...
search advice, personal space creation
and other very interesting things.
As ProQuest aggregator
makes it easier to access databases it will let us search
either all databases simultaneously or one by one.
Here we have used a database
devoted to literature and language.
We could display all databases.
We could do a full search.
What does it mean?
That we can use the same strategy.
And the same appearance when we search via different databases.
It's a bit late already. I'd have liked to show this to you.
I invite you to do it yourselves.
When you're home. If you have any queries you can ask.
Now for other searchable sources.
Electronic resources.
We're talking about Linceo+.
Linceo+ is the name we use at UNED's Library.
It's not our product.
It's called Summon. Many Spanish universities have it.
Every one in Madrid.
Each library has personalised it.
We have adapted Summon to our library.
And we've given it a name.
But you'll find these tools in other universities.
It's only that...
You can gain access to journals to which UNED is subscribed
through these services and resources.
Also to online services.
We've already touched upon Open Science Directory.
Or the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ).
As well as electronic journals. Among others.
You can access through "electronic resources".
Electronic resources include journals as I have said already.
This typology of electronic journals.
And also electronic books.
Document typology is here.
Taken from Open Science Directory. DOAJ.
This is a search for Spanish journals.
The first one is Revista de Historia de la Traducción.
The second is Revista de Teoría de la Literatura y Literatura Comparada.
Open access content.
Electronic journals. The Open Access platform.
For electronic scientific journals in Spanish.
Both Spanish and Latin-American.
Repositories.
Pascual mentioned these earlier.
He recommended a doctoral thesis someone had read in Murcia.
The University of Murcia must have some institutional repository.
If there is one we may search for it with the collector.
It's called Recolecta.
It compiles data taken from institutional repositories
of Spanish universities.
You're encouraged to make use of UNED's space.
It manages, grants access to disseminates and preserves data.
All the documents created in UNED's university community.
It's multidisciplinary.
What would I highlight? That they're open access.
All UNED's journals. More than 30 of them.
You can access directly.
All doctoral theses are there.
If you joined Doctorate School in the coming years...
you could search doctoral theses which were read previously.
Important methodological data, etc.
Also, the most important collection
of multimedia objects in any Spanish university.
As it is a distance university
which has been in existence for more than 40 years
there are countless products.
Multimedia products. Radio programme recordings.
Also video lessons.
Video lessons in YouTube. The Library itself...
There's a Library Channel accessible via YouTube.
But we're also in the general channel of the university.
Last year we had more than six million downloads.
It's all there. Quickly explained.
We don't advertise our products.
But we explain how to access databases.
And tools and open courses, etc.
Recolecta is Rebiun's initiative to create a repository catalogue.
For all Spanish universities.
OAISTER is the largest global repository.
It contains 25 million entries.
It'll be many more already. Using quotes in a presentation...
it's a mistake, there's always more. Once you write it down it's obsolete.
It's more than 1,100 organisations.
Michigan found it difficult to do it on its own.
Managing these products.
Now OCDC is in charge. They also manage...
the largest book catalogue in the world.
You can see where it is. Access UNED's space.
Apart from finding information you might wish
for some research product that you create at UNED
to be uploaded. Please contact the repository for that.
You'll receive very interesting data.
For the future. Number of downloads
for your papers and where those downloads take place.
Outside Spain
the largest number of downloads of UNED products is the United States.
Many more from Latin-America but not in terms of country.
As a country, the one which downloads more of our products
those of the institutional repository it's the US.
Last year we had two million downloads.
As you can see, we're given access to school manuals
from Project Manes, as well as digitised sources.
Also general and author searches.
Addenda and statistics.
Author and year searches or the latest uploads.
These are the results.
So many visits and downloads.
Visits are always fewer than downloads.
Perhaps you can see why.
We estimate the number of visits by people who access our repository...
via UNED's Library web portal.
Few people use that method.
People use Google. From Google...
that's where they gather data. We don't compute that.
But we compute the download.
It's Recolecta, as I mentioned earlier.
OAISTER and the world's libraries.
I like it.
That's OCDC's motto.
Services. We more or less know that...
it's the library that...
that grants us access.
When you are in search of journals via databases
we grant you access but you've already left the Library.
You're not in the Library. You need authentication in the system.
You type in your name and password.
It's important to know...
that we have several services aimed at researchers.
From personal borrowing in the Library itself
to inter-library borrowing from any one of UNED's centres.
Or from any Spanish library.
You only need identification as a student at UNED.
There's also Pasaporte Madroño.
Researchers in Madrid are allowed...
by just using UNED's identification to be considered as
users of any library in Madrid.
In that way you can borrow books and the like.
We've brought all libraries together.
We think that public resources
in the Community of Madrid and UNED which doesn't belong to the Community
but has its headquarters here
we should offer a consorted service.
For all users. We belong to a consortium.
That allows us to have 20,000+ electronic journals.
Which is not bad in times of budget cuts.
We also have a high quality service.
You already know about Ramiro. I would add Yolanda and Elodia too.
In the Central Library you may request information searches.
Not basic but advanced.
The Central Library is there for you. I'm the coordinator for Campus Norte.
And there's the web forms provided. Do use them.
In case of difficulty.
Or when you need specialised services.
I'm devoted to this latter task more specifically.
In my role of Coordinator of Research and Teacher Support.
You can access individual formative courses.
In small groups. Databases or bibliographic managers.
Electronic journals... I don't want to have the search done.
But this would be useful these things I'm telling you in a hurry.
About resources. How to use them efficiently?
Databases. Ask for a formative course.
And ask for advice.
Once your search is done.
Once you have finished the products of research and knowledge.
Whenever you want to know about publishing strategies.
How to disseminate your research. How to make it visible.
Where are the services? Go to UNED's website.
Borrowing services. Research Support. Student Support.
Accessible services for people with disabilities.
Among other services.
And inter-library borrowing.
Can't you find the book or paper that you're looking for at UNED?
Ask for it. You can do that any time.
If you're a teacher or researcher here at UNED.
OK?
There are others devoted to research learning.
Formative courses. About guides, tutorials...
evaluations and accreditations. That would be for teachers.
There's a formative scheme for the users.
There's a formative offer.
There are face-to-face sessions
virtual sessions and video classes.
Bite-sized and easy-going.
You can learn how it works how to access, etc.
All the resources and services of the Library.
We had them in... I've been over them already.
It's on the UNED web.
In Library YouTube channel.
These are research guides organised by topic.
No need to read them. Just in case.
Please check out Library 2.0.
It's worth it. There are very interesting blogs.
We have Facebook, Youtube... The works.
It's right here. Unless there's any query...
which may be many or none...
Thank you all for your attention. Thank you very much.
Thank you.
Thank you for your presentation.
It's really useful. A good starting point.
For our students and ourselves.
I don't know if there's any question for Rosa.
I'd like to open question time.
First for Rosa's presentation.
And then to close the morning session.
If any question has been left out
please ask before the speaker leaves and can no longer do it.
For instance José Luis. We have had no time for him.
Some attendees must have questions prepared for you.
Any question for Rosa?
If you have more particular questions...
not that it's funny but...
it tends to happen frequently.
When I finish there's someone who says "I didn't want to ask..."
"I thought it might be too personal and concrete".
And they ask later.
I'll stay with you. In case you have any question.
More concrete ones. We'll have a moment later.
You can ask away
other speakers and their presentations.
-This morning. They're very accessible. -Here's their...
Here's Rosa's email. Send your doubts.
There's a list of people in the Library website.
They will lend you a hand with sources
services, etc.
