Reengineering of a virtual library in science technology and innovation: Improvements on information access

Abstract

Ensuring information access has become a critical issue in modern society. Information is considered nowadays one of the most valuable and strategic asset. Information access improvements aim to reduce the barrier between information creators and information seekers. Aligned to this definition, five improvements (Search Engine Optimization, Information Architecture, Usability, Accessibility and Social Media) were selected as a main guideline for VLs' information access upgrade, which are under development in FAPESP's VL.
