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.

"Much has been written about the role of Teacher Librarians in our schools. Sadly though, much of it is lamentations about the decreasing numbers of Teacher Librarians manning our school libraries. Every so often though, I come across inspiring words that do much to remind us of the incredible skill and value held by this professional group."

Five Forms of Filtering « Innovation Leadership Network
I've been seeking a way to explain why I introduce Diigo along with Information fluency skills in the E-Learning for Educators Course.
This article quickly draws the big picture. Folks seeking to become online teachers are pursuing a specialized teaching skill that requires an information filtering strategy as well as what Rheingold calls "a mental cognitive and social strategy for how you're going to deploy your attention."Tags: filtering, infotention, knowledge management, information fluency, web 2.0
