Abstract
O surgimento das novas tecnologias e da Internet contribuiu para o surgimento na Europa de consórcios e redes de bibliotecas académicas. Os profissionais destas bibliotecas perceberam a necessidade de trabalharem em cooperação, de uma forma estruturada, através da criação de infraestruturas que permitissem a cooperação e a partilha de recursos. É, pois, neste contexto que surgiu, a Biblioteca do Conhecimento Online, b-on, que permite, desde 2004, o acesso a milhares de publicações eletrónicas de editoras de referência internacional nas principais áreas de investigação científica e académica e que constitui um instrumento essencial de acesso e disseminação da informação científica. É sabido que com a difusão e propagação do uso dos recursos científicos eletrónicos as práticas de consulta e de leitura dos investigadores mudaram, não só ao nível do tempo que dedicam à pesquisa, mas sobretudo pela quantidade e variedade de conteúdos que consultam muito mais facilmente e rapidamente. Quisemos perceber se este aumento gradual no acesso a conteúdos científicos estava a ter algum impacto ao nível da produção científica nacional. Assim, entre Dezembro de 2013 e Fevereiro de 2014 aplicámos um inquérito online a 500 investigadores de modo a aferir qual o uso que faziam dos recursos disponibilizados pela b-on e em que medida é que esta Biblioteca lhes trouxe mudanças à sua prática profissional.
The emergence of new technologies and Internet has contributed to the appearance in Europe of consortia and academic libraries networks. The professionals of these libraries have realised the need to work in collaboration, in a structured way, through the creation of infrastructures that contributed for cooperation and resource sharing. It was in this circumstances that the Portuguese consortium, the Online Knowledge Library (b-on), was funded allowing, since 2004, the access to thousands of electronic academic and scientific publications of some of the most important international publishers. The use of electronic scientific resources had consequences in the reading practices of researchers, not only in the time they dedicate to research but especially in the quantity and variety of content that they now can browse much more easily and quickly. We wanted also to understand if this gradual increase in the access to scientific contents had any impact on the Portuguese scientific production. Between December 2013 and February 2014 we applied an online survey to 500 researchers in order to assess what use they made of the resources provided by the b-on and what changes does this online library brought to their professional practice.
