AMPLIFYING OPEN ACCESS TO INFORMATION: the project of digitalization of the collection at Núcleo Temático da Seca

Abstract

Digital libraries are understood as tools in the current society, the so called Information Society. These tools enable wider socialization of information like never before. Thus, this work aims to detail experiences that took place in the digitalization project at Núcleo Temático da Seca (Nut- Seca), a documentation center specialized in the drought phenomenon at Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN). In order to address these issues, some elements were pointed out such as the ones of the Project Network, the Oficina da Memória, and a satellite project that deals with recollection of the memory of the documentation center, as well as experiences done for the construction of an e-book on the intellectual memory of Professor Terezinha de Queiroz Aranha.
