Digitools Project. Blended curriculum
No full text[EN] The crisis generated by the COVID 19 pandemic has forced European universities to move their teaching activities to the online environment. Although most Higher Education Institutions have implemented E Learning platforms years ago, the teaching staff are now experiencing difficulties in using these platforms and in creating and adapting the course content, needed to quickly adapt to a fast evolving and complex situation. DIGITOOLS project aimed at introducing enhanced digital tools and methods to help universities staff deliver quality education through online means. The project brought together s ix Higher Education Institutions and one consulting SME, specialized in digitization, from s ix countries focusing on the implementation of online and blended teaching, encouraging, at every step, unitary practice. As a result of the DIGITOOLS project, the universities will be able to provide, through teaching staff and libraries, high quality online training courses, with a focus on subject specific teaching. The Blended Curriculum presented in this e book , one of the five Outputs of the project, will support the teaching staff from Higher Education Institutions to acquire the skills and competencies needed to create and deliver high quality online courses, including blended teaching. The role of university libraries is crucial in this project, as they have to adapt their services and provide digital learning materials as well as information and digital skills training, both to teaching staff and to students.Ferrándiz Bou, S.;Repanovici, A.;Koukourakis, M.

Information Literacy Applied on Electronic Resources - Practices from Brasov, Romania and Bergen, Norway
No full textWhat does the widespread access to Internet mean for the use of libraries? And how can information literacy assist in helping people cope with the new information behaviour shaped by Internet? The Internet represents the handiest, cheapest and commonly accessed source by all users, be they from academic, high school or other environments. The Internet provides a large amount of information in all fields. Universities and university libraries have the mission to educate the users’ practical and scientific spirit. Through different programs, courses, long life learning in university libraries there are envisaged competencies as follows: 1. Easy access to Internet resources; 2. Correct formulation of the search request in the search box; 3. Use of Boolean operators for advanced research and use of restrictions and limits in the searching process; 4. Definition and access of search engines and search tools; 5. Access to scientific information resources 6. Assessment and assessing means of these resources 7. Dissemination and disseminating means of scientific researches, storage means In light of the above-mentioned competencies, the present article envisages to present the programs developed at Transilvania University Library and provided for the students, as well as the programs developed at the University of Bergen Library for the Arts and Humanities students. The programs developed in Bergen rely heavily on Carol Kulthaul’s view, that learning the information literacy is a learning process with a certain set of accompanying emotions. Also, the successful information literacy courses need to be situated at a time when the students are writing essays, and in close cooperation with the University teaching staff. The learning outcomes must be developed in a dialogue with the teaching staff in order to be relevant for the student. In the presentation, we will also look at the principles of educational marketing and applications within the university library. The conclusions will be outlined by analyzing the results of an in-depth study of the users' perception and conduct, the utility of the notions presented and the users' expectations with respect to the librarians’ role in their instruction. We also aim at analyzing the users’ behaviour (students, master students, doctoral students, professors. Information management will be approached from both the library and the users’ point of view, and a special emphasis will be laid on the improvement of the research activity in the university

Knowing the needs. A system for evaluating the university library.
No full textIn the light of the digital library development and of the online communication development, the university education develops in its turn new educational instruments put at the students’ disposal in order to improve their professional skills and their individual studies. The University libraries, which have traditionally been focused on supporting the scholars’ needs in research, have begun to play a more active role in this changing educational system, as a result of the Bologna process. Incorporating the new technologies in the didactic process, accessing the electronic informational resources, using the web space for communication, all these imply qualitative research so as to determine and to optimize the students’ learning methods, and we see a movement in the library world of libraries actively pursuing this. However, to be able to play an active role in the students’ acquiring of scholarly skills, libraries need to implement systems for uncovering the gaps in students’ knowledge. We find that theories and practices from the fields of Market research and Marketing analysis provide a helpful perspective. In this paper we will present a system for an university library to gain knowedge about their student’s needs. This consists of several parts, and we will use examples of surveys, questionnaires and structured interviews. Also, we will present an analysis of data that have been acquired as part of our collaboration in European projects between the university libraries of Brasov, Romania and Bergen, Norwa

Materia-autore = Author-Matter
No full textThe etymology of the word author refers to an act of creation, an act of augmentation, from the Latin verb augere. Author instantiates creation, the expansion of the pre-existing. In 1967 Roland Barthes declared the death of the author in his famous essay to state once more that the crisis is that of the author as a single subjectivity and as a term that condenses prestige, undermined by the de-subjectivation strategies of automatism, fortuity and fragmentation of the historical avant-gardes, as well as by the machinic act and by the reproducibility of the second avant-gardes.
Fifty years after Barthes’ paradigmatic formula, this lack of authorship appears to be a successful brand. The ten- sions between the anomie of matter, the law that establishes authorship and the economy that makes the work pos- sible, invoke discordant perspectives. Artists make the self-destruction of their work the real work, and appeal is made for the demolition of architectures, whether by a recognised author or not, in order to re-design, or better still, re-claim the territory. Artificial intelligence consolidates its logics and its design by progressively shedding human ingenuity. The space of criticism becomes, finally, increasingly ephemeral. However, there is an acceptation of criti- cism that is, rather than an individual ‘signature’, an exploration and explanation of how design makes theory.
The binomial author-matter seeks to mark these tensions and contradictions: the featured term author is main- tained to underline the persistence of that prestigious subjectivity, at the very moment when the rhetoric of “mat- ter as an author” promises other forms of authorship
