The social class struggles concept with an interdisciplinary approach: a paramount concept for research in library and information science (LIS)
No full textThis paper analyses the social class struggles concept with an interdisciplinary approach to be used by theorists and practitioners of library and information science (LIS). This concept emerged as part of the theoretical framework employed by the author in his doctoral thesis (Muela-Meza, 2010): An Application of Community Profiling to Analyse Community Information Needs, and Providers: Perceptions from the People of the Broomhall Neighbourhood of Sheffield, UK. This concept is complemented from philosophy (Marx and Engels, [1848] 1976a), and the natural sciences (Hauser, 2006; Sagan and Druyan, 1992), and it served the author to understand better the bigger dimensions of the underlying issues behind social classes and human conflicts. It also served to understand better the contradictions between people (e.g. LIS users with contradictory and mutually exclusive information needs to be provided by libraries and other institutions of information recorded in documents), and how these intensify when these are interrelated with the social class they belong to (Muela-Meza, 2007). This paper also criticises some competing views whose proponents by pretending fallaciously and deceitfully to deny the presence of social class divides in society, such as those rhetorical ploys of post-modernism that propose capitalist-class-driven ideologues of “community cohesion” based on “social capital” (Putnam, 1999). It shows evidence of how those followers (e.g. Pateman, 2006; Contreras Contreras, 2004; Bryson, Usherwood and Proctor, 2003) of capitalist-class ideologues, by doing so they aligned their discourse to that of dominance hierarchies and hegemony against working class people, in LIS and other sciences, and the humanities. It also criticises the postmodern pseudoscience because it pretends to undermine the logical rationality fundamental in LIS and all other sciences. It recommends that LIS theorists and practitioners employ the social class struggles concept as configured here in order to understand better contradictions, conflicts, and struggles within LIS theory and practice, and also to search for broader epistemological aims such as justice and wisdom (Fleissner and Hofkirchner, 1998), concealed by the capitalist or bourgeois and middle classes for their benefit against working class

No full textEl presente modulo auto formativo de Género y Equidad Social, corresponde a una de las asignaturas del plan de estudios de la carrera de Derecho, de la Facultad de Ciencias Jurídicas de la Universidad Centroamericana.
Con el estudio de este módulo usted contribuirá a su propia formación integral, es decir, a desarrollar las capacidades no solo científico técnicas, sino también a alcanzar una visión más humana y comprometida con las injusticias, discriminaciones y violencias sufridas con mayor frecuencia por los/as más pobres y vulnerables, entre ellas las mujeres, para buscar la equidad de género. Como podrá apreciar a lo largo del contenido, este módulo forma parte de la educación en valores, que como eje transversal cruza todo el curriculum de la carrera de Derecho.
En los estudios jurídicos este módulo tiene singular importancia ya que demuestra a los/as que lo estudian, como el sexismo también es privativo de las leyes y normas legales. El estudio de este módulo contribuirá a desarrollar en usted cierto grado de Conciencia de Género, entendida esta como el reconocimiento de las desigualdades entre los hombres y las mujeres, lo cual favorece la formación de actitudes y valores solidarios, equitativos y justos y por ende la búsqueda de medios para la eliminación de la desigualdad social y el desarrollo de los hombres y de las mujeres del mundo

Una aproximación a la creación de un Modelo de Análisis Integral Crítico para la investigación en las Ciencias de la Información Documental o el Espíritu de investigación de Eratóstenes
No full textThis paper (An approximation towards the creation of a critical, analytical, and integral model of research in the sciences of information recorded in documents or the spirit of Eratosthenes) shows grosso modo an approximationn to the creation of an analytical, critical and integral model of analysis, based in the spirit of Eratosthenes for research in the sciences of information recorded in documents (e.g. LIS) in which the author (Muela Meza, 2010, 2009; 2008; 2007; 2006ª; 2005b; 2005c; 2004ª; 2004b) has been working in the last years. In addition, The construction of this model per se was part of the future themes for research that emerge from the author's doctoral thesis (Community Profiling to Analyse Community Information Needs, and Providers: Perceptions from the People of the Broomhall Neighbourhood of Sheffield, UK) (Muela Meza, 2010)
An introduction to the applicability of qualitative research methodologies to the field of Library and Information Sciences
No full textThis is the original pre-print written on the 17 November 2003 which eventually got published in 2006 –see its history of publication inside the actual document--, and since the article got originally reduced by the editors of Liber of the Mexican Association of Librarians then this original pre-print includes many examples excluded there by Liber's editors. This is an introductory work to the qualitative research methodologies and methods aplied to the Library and Information Studies (LIS) field, as a way to expand the horizons of librarians so they might be able to explore different roads to improve the common telology of LIS which is basically to fuse the library (informational - cognitive) services with the needs and issues, wishes and dreams of society in its respective communities. It argues for the demystification of LIS research which is impregnated with an halo and cult almost mystical that far from motivating librarians both practical and teorethical to carry out research work in a daily basis, it plays an inhibitor role affecting not only the development of LIS research, but the LIS profession itself; this demystification implies that research could be for everyone who wants it to. It also argues that it is necessary to study in depth the epistemological debate in LIS to promote LIS research as a sub-discipline and the education and training of LIS researchers in order to transform such a plausible activity into an attractive one that becomes even a fun thing to do. The author considers that the examples of applicabilities of qualitative research in LIS given here, but which they could not be included in the published version due to the barriers impossed by the editors of Liber the journal of the Mexican Association of Librarians, are worthwhile to be known by the community interested in these methodologies and it is for them that this original draft is open to the public, thanks to the request of a colleague.
This draft, after many unexplained acts of negligence and censorship by the Chairs of the Mexican Association of Librarians and the other editors of their association journal Liber, during the period of 2004-2005, finally was partly published by this Peruvian journal:
