English abstract

In the last 20 years there have been big changes in the Portuguese academic libraries services as academic libraries over the world. These changes include the adoption of automatic catalogues and the electronic access to bibliographic data bases and scientific journals in full text. Nowadays physical and digital sources are together. Professors, students and researchers are able to access simultaneous to a great amount of quality information pay and open access. The Portuguese Government has been investing to improve the access to the production of knowledge so as to develop the country. It is important to know the return on the investments in university libraries. The purpose of this paper is to identify the impact of the electronic sources in the Portuguese academic libraries. This paper describes an ongoing project to assess: • The use of electronic scientific information and the correlation to the scientific production of the Portuguese academic community according to standard performance measures indicators and bibliometrics data. • The economic value of these library services. In order to estimate in monetary terms the value of these services for end-users we use the contingent valuation method (CVM).This study reports the results of a quantitative e-survey of academic community.

Portuguese abstract

Nas últimas duas décadas observaram-se grandes alterações nos serviços das bibliotecas académicas portuguesas. Essas transformações incluem a automatização dos catálogos, o acesso a bases de dados bibliográficos e de publicações periódicas científicas, em texto integral. Na actualidade, a biblioteca tradicional e a digital coexistem e completam-se nos serviços de documentação das Universidades e do Ensino Politécnico. A comunidade académica de Portugal tem acesso, via Internet, a grande quantidade de informação científica de qualidade, adquirida através de pagamento, e em Acesso Aberto. O Estado português tem vindo a realizar grandes investimentos quer em infra-estruturas quer em informação. O principal objectivo é proporcionar acesso fácil e rápido a fontes de informação científicas. Esse processo pretende ser uma alavanca para promover o desenvolvimento do País. Neste contexto, é útil observar e estimar quais são os retornos destes investimentos nas bibliotecas e centros de documentação do Ensino Superior. O presente estudo tem enfoque na identificação do impacto das fontes electrónicas de informação científica nas bibliotecas académicas portuguesas. Esta comunicação apresenta resumidamente um projecto de aferição que faz uma abordagem baseada nos seguintes objectivos: • Estabelecer perfis de utilizadores destes serviços, por tipologia e áreas do conhecimento, baseados em aferições de acordo com os indicadores de desempenho normalizados definidos pelas International Standards ISO 11620:1998, Amendment 1:2003 additional Information and documentation - performance indicators for libraries e ISO 2789:2006 Information and documentation – international library statistics. • Observar dados bibliométricos e estabelecer relações em função da utilização das fontes electrónicas de informação acessíveis na rede das instituições públicas de Ensino Superior. • Determinar o valor económico, em termos monetários, dos serviços electrónicos de informação científica fundamentado no Método de Avaliação Contingencial (MAC) e estimar a razão Custo/Benefício
