En este trabajo se expone una reflexión sobre la relevancia de realizar estudios de alfabetización informacional y su justificación desde los archivos y centros de documentación relacionados con la información referente a las violaciones de derechos humanos en el período del terrorismo de Estado y la última dictadura cívico-militar en el Uruguay. Cobra importancia esta discusión en consideración a la relevancia de la información que resguardan y las particularidades específicas de sus usuarios al momento de acceder y consultar documentación vinculada a esa temática. Se parte de una breve contextualización del período de actuación ilegítima del Estado uruguayo para luego pasar a las acciones normativas para el restablecimiento de la democracia y dentro de un marco de justicia transicional. Consecuentemente, se aborda la dimensión de los denominados archivos de derechos humanos en el Uruguay y se repasan estudios académicos de alfabetización informacional. Se reconoce la necesidad de aplicar estudios de comportamiento humano informativo para la identificación de categorías de usuarios en los servicios de información archivísticos. Por último, se plantea la importancia del desarrollo de competencias informativas en este tipo de servicios de información, en apoyo a la búsqueda de la verdad y justicia, así como a las acciones de reparación.

Data-centrism, precision health, data-science and open science are factors transforming health research, healthcare and health policy. The COVID-19 pandemic interacted with the former and revealed some deficiencies of the latter. This has in turn stimulated disciplinary clashes, interdisciplinary elaborations and political conflicts, concentrated around the techno-scientific, political and societal changes needed to cope with the complex health problems that were and will be challenging our societies (inequity, poverty, pandemics, climate change, reemerging diseases, etc). Herein, as a continuation of an interdisciplinary dialogue initiated in 2018 with the “Data and Information Sciences Applied to Human Health” project (CIDASH for short), we put forward the idea of planning a data-centric, open, health research infrastructure, interoperable with the integral national health system and with national health registries. We aimed to identify and analyze from interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary perspectives and based on our experiences in Uruguay the opportunities, concerns and challenges regarding the implementation of an open health research infrastructure (OSHRI). Our specific objectives were: i) to provide a brief account of our experience in human health research in Uruguay; ii) to reflect on the perceived opportunities, challenges, issues and potential solutions in human health research from the scientific, methodological, technical, ethical and regulatory point of view; iii) to elaborate on and propose structuring pillars for future open data infrastructures for human health research in Uruguay. The methodology we followed to report our experience was qualitative, interpretative and deliberative. Results include a list of problems and design pillars identified in relation of the creation of an OSHRI. To discuss these results we took the Centre for the Integration of Health Data and Knowledge (CIDACS) in Salvador de Bahía (Brazil) as an example of an installed and running open science health research infrastructure that warrants access to population-size data with proper ethical and scientific standards. After deliberation on the above-mentioned experiences we found that this report could bring us a step closer in the way of engaging with participatory research and change from within the science community.

We reflect on the ecosystem of the management, editing, publication, and dissemination of Ibero-American scientific journals. We analyze the tensions, proposals, and results of the different alternatives for managing the results of science. We also reflect our experiences in the management of scientific journals from various roles that we have assumed throughout our professional careers, from public universities to the small publishing services company. We conclude that, for a more transparent, efficient and sustainable management of the publication of research results, it is necessary to clearly specify the editorial policy of institutions and companies producing scientific journals, that in the editorial ecosystem the convergence of different models is possible and that they are the managers of science through the destinations that they give to the budget of their institutions, who have the power to continue contributing exclusively to an increasingly expensive and monopolistic closed trading system or to support a broader and more inclusive ecosystem.

I first analyse the differences and nuances in the philosophy behind the words free and open, as crystallised in the field of software. I also try, through its history and the analysis of its ecosystem, to outline the necessary deconstruction of the Intellectual Property paradigm. In the second part, a brief account of the history of computer science, Free Software and the Internet, allows us to identify commonalities in the processes of Science and Software development, and some characteristics or realisations of the world in the digital era that can contribute to Open Science. In the third part, I briefly speculate, based on the trajectory of Free Software so far, on the possible scope for Open Science, before concluding by returning to the central point of the need for a radical reform of the regulation of the economy of the immaterial.

From a holistic, integrative and psychoanalytic perspective, I understand that the library intervention belongs to the field of mental, physical, spiritual, ecological, and emotional health. It is offered as a therapeutic discipline focused on the accompaniment of the processes linked to vital crises, grief, demotivation, and very particular states of mind derived from what currently psychology professionals refer to as the binomial «depression-anxiety-covid». In this sense, the subject who is shipwrecked in the pure present of dissatisfaction, anger and threat finds in the dialogue with the librarian the possibility of changing automatic thinking through healthy confrontations. For this, the reading of a literary text can be the trigger for his bionarration, and thus, bibliotherapy operates as a binding power, a symbolic bridge between the sufferer and his circumstance. In the present communication ―focused on the effects of the pandemic and the «break» of the social skin, as a metaphor for isolation― bibliotherapy seeks to promote critical thinking from the interplay of interdisciplinary theoretical models. In addition, a specific experience is shared, developed with the format of a workshop for reading fictional texts about «the plague», and the rewriting of the personal script as a way to recover blocked subjective spaces.

Facing a scenario of difficulties, insecurities, and complexities, the entrepreneurial philosophy has been assuming a prominent role. The benefits arising from entrepreneurial behavior, whether innate or learned and perfected, positively impact the social and economic development of the population. According to this perspective, we aimed to characterize the archivist as an entrepreneur or intrapreneur. By means of a qualitative bibliographic research of descriptive nature, we presented factors that determine entrepreneurship, the characteristics of an entrepreneur as well as the competencies and abilities related to the archivist according to specialized literature. The comparison of these characteristics makes evident that the archivist should be considered and valued as an entrepreneur since he/she performs individual or corporate projects in an original, proactive, self-motivated and innovative way.

The article presents the results of a Service Learning (SL) project within the undergraduate program in Information and Documentation (I&D) at the Complutense University of Madrid. The project was carried out in collaboration with two Senior Centres of the city of Madrid in the period of February to June during the academic years 2017-18 and 2018-19. We describe SL as an experiential teaching method, the curricular reasons for implementing it, and the institutional and social implications of this initiative. Among the results, we analyse data from two surveys which were administered to students at the end of the project in 2017-18 and 2018-19, and we summarize the main themes of a focal group with participating elderlies. From the curricular point of view, improvements were observed in general competencies related to communication, as well as in the acquisition of knowledge and abilities which are difficult to develop in the classroom, such as becoming aware of the dynamics of information exclusion of elderly people. As for the impact on the community that received the service, the elderly participants judged positively the participatory character of the activities, the human qualities of UCM students, and the essentiality of the contents taught within the courses.

This article explores the work of librarians in scientific journals, specifically inquiring about the skills, knowledge and characteristics of professionals who collaborate in scientific publishing in Uruguay. A mixed methodology is applied: on the one hand, a questionnaire is applied to the editors of the journals that make up the Uruguayan Association of Academic Journals, to know the incidence of the work of librarians in these journals; On the other hand, five interviews are carried out with librarians who work in any of these publications to delve into the work and training processes that have led them to participate in the edition of a scientific journal. There is a high percentage of journals in which librarians work, more than 40%. The work they do is very varied in each case. Through the interviews it delves into the competences, the training and experience required by academic publishing, and the degree of integration they have in the publishing teams, on whom their participation depends to a great extent.
