En este documento, se trata de plantear una reflexión en torno a los retos que implica la gestión, tratamiento y recuperación de información de documentos digitales ante la inminencia de la Administración electrónica. Se parte de los principios y parámetros que caracterizan las políticas de información actuales y la Sociedad de la Información que éstas promueven y encomian, en torno al Gobierno online. Se desarrolla posteriormente la tendencia tecnológica de la gestión de metainformación para el almacenamiento y organización de objetos de información digital producidos y/o recibidos por la Administración del siglo XXI. Aludimos también al cambio estratégico que deben realizar, tanto archivos como archiveros, a tenor del cambio de paradigma que implica el tratamiento documental a través de metadatos frente a la descripción archivística tradicional. ; In this chapter it is presented a reflection about the challenges of information management and retrieval of digital documents regarding the evident electronic Administration. We start from the principles and parameters featuring the current Information Society policies that promote and encourage the Government online. The paper also deals with the technological trend of metainformation management to record and organize digital information produced or received by the XXI century Administration. It is also discussed the strategic change that the archives and archivist must do for the change of paradigm implied on the metadata for digital information management against the traditional archivist description.

Current information policies in Dominican Republic include the creation and development of libraries and information systems in a more effective way than ever in the country. One of the biggest concerns regarding these new democratic and modern libraries is to analyze whether the Dominican Republic has information professionals competent enough to deal with this new information system. This paper describes a thorough study of the Librarianship and Information Science (LIS) education in the country, as a first step to find out the needs and requirements for innovation in LIS education. Some of the topics analyzed are degrees and programs (in public and private universities), number of librarians and information professionals at graduate level, continuing education, a comparative overview with Latin American and Caribbean countries and conclusions. This article will show some of the results from a series of studies intended to enhance libraries and information infrastructure in Dominican Republic. ; The authors want to thank all the information professionals in the Dominican Republic who attended our meetings in August 2006 for evaluating and discussing LIS education and for the valuable information they gave to us, especially: Dulce M. Nunez (PUCMM), Lucero Arboleda (INTEC) and Miriam Michel (UNIBE). We also want to thank Kate Johnson and Toni Carbo for their thoughtful comments to this paper.

Purpose – This paper seeks to analyse the opportunities and potential risks for libraries applying for European support to fund projects regarding digitisation or availability of their already digitised content. The European Commission has a range of specific funding programs devoted to access, use and preservation of digital cultural heritage, so libraries and other "cultural institutions" holding European heritage are the natural applicants for this kind of calls. Sometimes, however, they do not know how to apply and fully understand the advantages and commitments involved. This paper aims to help libraries to understand European funding programs. Design/methodology/approach – The paper has complementary experience with respect to applications and participation in EU-funded projects, as well as the evaluation of proposals and the reviewing of approved projects. Apart from the lessons drawn from the personal experiences of the paper, the content is based on the most recent documentation and information about the Call For Proposals (CFP) made available by the European Commission. Findings – Competition among proposals for European funding in the context of Digital Libraries (DLs) has grown considerably over the last few years. Therefore, it is essential for potential applicants to ensure the quality of their proposal by matching its content to the objectives of the Call and meeting the relevant evaluation criteria. In addition, the scope of the proposal needs to be embedded within the long-term research and management strategy of the institutions applying to ensure both a successful application procedure and maximum sustainability of the project. Originality/value – Apart from the documentation offered by the European Commission and several public reports of consultancy firms, no previous papers have been published which provide an insight into the workflow of the submission and evaluation of proposals for European funding in the domain of Digital Libraries.

Esta comunicación parte de la calidad de los datos que se pueden extraer de los expedientes electrónicos, ya que el ordenamiento jurídico español reconoce en los documentos administrativos electrónicos la prueba de la actuación administrativa. Esto hace que se constituyan en excelentes suministradores de datos abiertos gubernamentales. Para validar la selección de los conjuntos de datos que se van a publicar en abierto, así como fijar la prioridad para publicarlos, se ha aplicado la metodología de participación de agentes implicados a través de la entrevista directa. Posteriormente se ha promovido la interacción de todos los participantes a través de un foro de debate con interesantes resultados obtenidos, que han llevado a la adaptación del perfil de metadatos para incorporar las sugerencias acordadas. Finalmente se presenta un muestreo de conjuntos de datos que se pueden extraer de los expedientes electrónicos de contratación. ; This paper stands from the quality of the data that can be extracted from electronic records, as the Spanish legal system recognizes the electronic administrative documents proof of administrative action. This makes the electronic records excellent providers of open government data. To validate the selection of the datasets to be published as open data, and set the priority for publication, we have used the methodology of stakeholder's participation through direct interview. Then, we have promoted all stakeholders' interaction through a focus group like debate. The interesting results have leaded the customization of the metadata application profile in order to add the stakeholder's suggestions. Finally, this study shows sampling datasets that can be extracted from electronic procurement dossiers.

The concept of a society based on information and knowledge is becoming the norm in every country, including Spain. The need to have well-designed information policies that allow us to come to terms with the new upsurge of media, technology and services that has taken place in our society is discussed first. Information policies required by these changes in society have been implemented in Spain and are described in relation to the new challenges of the "Society of Knowledge." Similarly, the background and past efforts made in the field of information policy in Spain are analysed, along with the latest government projects that comprise an attempt to get this country to form part of the "Information Society" with the help of the supra-national information policy of the European Union.

The Universidad Carlos III de Madrid has been offering several face-to-face remedial courses for new students to review or learn concepts and practical skills that they should know before starting their degree program. During 2012 and 2013, our University adopted MOOC-like technologies to support some of these courses so that a blended learning methodology could be applied in a particular educational context, i.e. by using SPOCs (Small Private Online Courses). This paper gathers a list of issues, challenges and solutions when implementing these SPOCs. Based on these challenges and issues, a design process is proposed for the implementation of SPOCs. In addition, an evaluation is presented of the different use of the offered courses based on indicators such as the number of videos accessed, number of exercises accessed, number of videos completed, number of exercises correctly solved or time spent on the platform. ; Work partially funded by the RESET project under grant no.
