Abstract

LA BÚSQUEDA Y ACCESO a la información en los entornos digitales ha ofrecido un modelo clásico de actividad e interacción: un usuario formulaba una necesidad de información, y ésta era transformada en una expresión que combinaba términos significativos y operadores. Se obtenía un conjunto de resultados, que era evaluado para valorar su pertinencia, o no, a la necesidad de información original. Participase en el mismo un intermediario especializado o no, la actividad de búsqueda de información era (o es) un proceso eminentemente individual: la interacción se establece entre una interfaz de búsqueda y consulta, y un usuario final.

Abstract

BiblogTecarios (“blogging librarians”) was created with a clear objective: to offer its members the possibility of having a platform to publish their knowledge, concerns and opinions about their professional sector, that of Information and Documentation. Since its beginnings it has been clear that the purpose of the project was not intended to allow a few to publish each day, but rather that the more people participating in the project, the greater variety of topics could be discussed.Now that BiblogTecarios has 40 blogs, communication tools are essential for the proper functioning of the website, as well as the desire to work on a joint (collaborative and cooperative) project. Crowdsourcing, or the collective intelligence of its members, helped this project to grow; personal connections and collective work are the key pillars for its continued growth. BiblogTecarios connects people: it is crowdsourcing.
