Objetivo: realizar un análisis del plan de estudio D de la Licenciatura en Ciencias de la Información desarrollado en Cuba, para caracterizar las habilidades comunicativas que en él se declaran. Métodos: las habilidades que se declaran en el modelo del profesional, los años académicos y las disciplinas se representaron mediante mapas de palabras. Se realizó la triangulación del método bibliométrico con el análisis de contenido del plan de estudios D. Resultados: en el documento, los infinitivos vinculados con el universo comunicativo estaban relacionados con la presentación de la información a través de productos, servicios y sistemas informativos, así como con proyectos de socialización de la lectura y la formación de prácticas lectoras para diferentes usos educativos, informativos y de esparcimiento. Conclusiones: las habilidades receptivas se presentan de forma explícita e implícita, asociadas a la lectura y la escucha. Las habilidades productivas se enuncian con mayor frecuencia de forma explícita encaminadas al desarrollo de la expresión oral y escrita. En ambos casos, la relación con los cambios tecnológicos se manifiesta de manera implícita y superficial(AU)

BACKGROUND: Information literacy has evolved with changes in lifelong learning. Can Brazilian health researchers search for and use updated scientific information? OBJECTIVES: To describe researchers' information literacy based on their perceptions of their abilities to search for and use scientific information and on their interactions with libraries. METHODS: Semi-structured interviews and focus group conducted with six Brazilian HIV/AIDS researchers. Analyses comprised the assessment of researchers as disseminators, their interactions with librarians, their use of information and communication technology and language. RESULTS: Interviewees believed they were partially qualified to use databases. They used words and phrases that indicated their knowledge of technology and terminology. They acted as disseminators for students during information searches. Researchers' abilities to interact with librarians are key skills, especially in a renewed context where libraries have, to a large extent, changed from physical spaces to digital environments. DISCUSSION: Great amounts of information have been made available, and researchers' participation in courses does not automatically translate into adequate information literacy. Librarians must help research groups, and as such, librarians' information literacy-related responsibilities in Brazil should be redefined and expanded. CONCLUSIONS: Students must develop the ability to learn quickly, and librarians should help them in their efforts. Librarians and researchers can act as gatekeepers for research groups and as information coaches to improve others' search abilities.

Apresenta um estudo inicial sobre a possibilidade de aproximar de forma integrada, a abordagem do coaching no contexto da atuação do Profissional da Informação em Serviços de Informação, como um método eficaz de planejamento e aperfeiçoamento pessoal e profissional que este pode trilhar em suas práticas de trabalho. Dessa maneira, na Sociedade da Informação e do Conhecimento e no agora emergente e mutável ambiente de informação, figura-se a aquisição de um 'novo olhar' por parte desse profissional, no que se refere às novas formas de atuação, de novos saberes, bem como de aprendizagem vitalícia. Para tanto, buscou-se refletir sobre a aproximação do coaching à prática do Profissional da Informação em três grandes áreas: na reflexão e no planejamento de sua carreira profissional; na gestão e liderança de equipes de trabalho e na atuação em serviços de referência e informação, uma vez que a capacidade de planejar, tratar, organizar e gerir com eficiência esses ambientes surge quando este profissional adquire consciência e empoderamento de conhecimentos e habilidades necessários ao direcionamento, planejamento, funcionamento e avaliação relacionados ao seu campo de atuação. A pesquisa também pretende inserir uma nova compreensão social e humana a esse profissional em sua atividade de trabalho, seja na promoção ou na ressignificação do potencial humano individual e coletivo de seus colaboradores, bem como de si mesmo, através da adoção do coaching ou apenas objetivando suscitar discussões sobre este tema para a ampliação e necessidade de outras pesquisas nas áreas de Biblioteconomia e Ciência da Informação...
It presents an initial study on the possibility of introducing and relating in an integrative way the coaching approach to the Information Professional's performance context in Information Services as an effective method of personal and professional planning and improvement for their work practices.Thus, it is necessary that such professionals gain a "new perspective" on new ways of performing, acquiring some recent knowledge, as well as continuous learning, in the current emerging and changing information environment of the information and knowledge society. Therefore, it was sought to reflect upon the relation between coaching and the information professional practice in three major areas: pondering about and planning their professional career; management and leadership of work teams and performance of reference and information services, since the capabilities of planning, dealing with, organizing and managing in an effective way arise when such professional becomes aware and acquires necessary knowledge and abilities concerning to the performance area. This research also intends to introduce a new social and human understanding to such professionals in relation to their working activities, whether promoting or conferring a new meaning to individual and collective human potential of their employees, as well as themselves, by means of adopting coaching or only aiming at giving rise to discussions on that theme in order to expand the scope and stimulate new researches in Librarianship and Information Sciences areas...
