Origen y desarrollo de la Ciencia de la InformaciĂłn
Cuando en 1934, el belga Paul Otlet, publicĂł su obra titulada "Tratado de la DocumentaciĂłn", enunciĂł las bases de lo que posteriormente se constituirĂa en una ciencia integradora. El tĂ©rmino documentaciĂłn designaba la actividad especĂfica de recolectar, conservar, buscar y diseminar documentos. La documentaciĂłn presentaba particularidades especĂficas que la diferenciaban de la bibliotecologĂa y la bibliografĂa. Entre sus rasgos más importantes, se hallaban la capacidad de reflejar con rapidez las nuevas informaciones y agrupar las que estaban dispersas, facilitar el acceso a ellas y posibilitar su uso eficaz mediante el empleo de Ăndices, la oferta de resĂşmenes con valor agregado y el empleo de las nuevas tecnologĂas en la bĂşsqueda de nuevas bases del conocimiento, la organizaciĂłn y el almacenamiento de la informaciĂłn.
