Resumen: El aumento del microblogging en los últimos años plantea cuestiones sobre sus usos y potencialidades en diversos contextos. En este trabajo en concreto, se plantea el objetivo de analizar un ejemplo de los usos de Twitter como instrumento de comunicación en los congresos profesionales de información y documentación. Para ello se realiza un estudio de caso sobre el X Workshop Rebiun. En el trabajo empírico se combinan observación participante, registro de datos, entrevistas y análisis de contenido. Se evidencia la pluralidad de usos y la capacidad de Twitter como elemento vertebrador de la comunidad virtual creada en relación al acontecimiento.
Most disasters, such as wars, massacres or cultural meltdown, are generated or made worse by human acts. For thousands of years, man-made disasters have often been more destructive than those caused by nature, such as hurricanes, floods or earthquakes. Information mismanagement is a major cause of man-made disasters. Incidents and errors are common and inevitable in any system or environment involving humans, and constitute potential threats. Nonetheless, serious damage can be prevented by providing decision- makers with key data in time or by presenting key information in a usable and useful way. In many complex socio-technical contexts and situations, optimal practical prevention is not easy. The late industrial age saw a wide range of man-made disasters, where information mismanagement was the major cause of many catastrophic events, typically produced as the result a massive and unexpected surge of energy—a conceptual framework was established by Turner (1978). In the knowledge society’s information intensive organizations and environments, information disasters will be the most common and far-reaching, catalysed by a much greater degree of interconnection and a higher likelihood of situations of information overload. The results may not always be as tangible as energy, and may be as intangible as damage to an organization’s prestige, for instance. The need to update the framework for man-made disasters was stressed by a number of authors in the 1990s. A summary of the efforts to update this framework and some key ideas from recent studies and bibliography are set out in the following.
Sistemas de información en red para estudiantes universitarios: marco conceptual y evaluaciónPor Josep Cobarsí Morales Title: Networked information systems for university students: conceptual framework and evaluation A r t í c u l o Abstract: After initially defining what is understood by a networked information system for university students, the requirements for such systems are set forth based on changes occurring at universities and on the future needs of higher education. The main methodological proposals and studies concerning system evaluations are then analysed. Finally, data are offered about the current state of these systems.Keywords: Information System, Networked information system, University, Student, Evaluation, Information environment, Intranet, Campus-wide information system, User.Cobarsí Morales, Josep.

El presente artículo se basa en la tesina de doctorado presentada en octubre de 2001.Artículo recibido el 25-11-01 Aceptación definitiva: 19-04-02Definición y contexto Basándonos en el concepto de sistema de información en línea de una universidad expresado por Charles R. McClure en su manual Assessing the academic networked environment: strategies and options (1996), proponemos la siguiente definición de sistema de información en red para estudiantes universitarios: "conjunto de contenidos y servicios, accesible por medios informáticos dentro de un entorno web, que una universidad pone a disposición de sus estudiantes para facilitar sus diversas actividades académicas, administrativas y sociales".Respecto a esta definición, conviene resaltar las siguientes consideraciones: -Queda abierta la tipología de entorno web. Así, el término "intranet" no reflejaría adecuadamente la situación real actual de los sistemas de información en red de muchas universidades. Hoy en día, buena parte de los recursos y servicios de información se encuentran en las webs exteriores de las instituciones universitarias, o accesibles desde ellas de forma restringida desde diversos puntos (aunque se tienda a su integración en una intranet de acceso restringido a los estudiantes y/o otros colectivos de usuarios de la propia institución).-Identificamos entorno red con entorno web. En la literatura anglosajona se usa el término campus-wide information system (cwis) para designar, según su formulación original, al sistema de información en web o en gopher de una universidad 1 . Cuando aparece este concepto a principios de los años 90, el sistema de informac...
Electronics-based information networks have brought widespread transformations in the way information flows in university campuses, to such a degree that the expression “campus information system” is usually equivalent to “campus electronic networked information system.” Universities are highly decentralised organizations, so managing corporate electronic information resources poses challenges such as finding an optimal degree of standardisation or the global orientation of corporate information resources (Cornford, 2000). These challenges were less of a problem when using paper and in face-to-face campuses. Likewise, external pressures due to the rise of the network society pose questions about the role of universities. These questions affect the concept of information systems. Thus, it is time to review the conceptual framework for campus information systems, focusing on strategic information management of higher education institutions in networked environments. Characterisation is established and discussed, with special attention paid to students as the main users of campus information systems.
