The aim of this article is to explore the current research landscape of changing information needs and the need for digital access to library materials. Print reference sources—bibliographies in particular—are discussed and possible solutions for increasing their relevance and appeal as a stable reference point are presented. Several digital curated collections created with bibliographic reference materials are highlighted as a way of reintroducing these materials as a reliable and accessible source of information. The article concludes with future directions for the study of the use of print consultative sources and the main takeaways for adjusting reference and research assistance in an academic library.

Transliteration involves skills, critical thinking and practices based on digital fluency in a changing context. This concept is based on the inquiry process of scientific research, but is currently not integrated into the STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, mathematics) approach. In the first phase of the ‘TLIT4U – Improving Transliteracy Skills through Serious Games’ project, an attempt was made to clarify the STEAM framework towards an inquiry-based training model. The authors, belonging to different universities in Bulgaria, Finland and Italy, investigated the perception of the concept of digital fluency and the research-process awareness of students with different disciplinary backgrounds at their respective universities. Subsequently, the authors organized interviews and focus groups with teachers, librarians and scholars at partner universities to investigate their perceptions of transliteracy. The main findings and open questions highlighted by the TLIT4U comparative study are presented in this article.

This article aims to analyse the representation and retrieval of musical scores submitted by netizens or institutions, repositories and digital libraries across various digital environments such as score storage sites. It considers the characteristics of these interfaces and observes how the scores are thematically represented. The method employed in this study was exploratory research to search and retrieve scores, and descriptive research to analyse the thematic representation within these environments. The results reveal that these sites are organized by category, which helps netizens in their search for musical scores. The analysed sites differ in comprehensiveness and organization but have similar features with regard to indexing. Consequently, the study argues for investment in their structure, organization, languages and systems, and professional training.

This study aims to investigate how Brazilian institutional repositories guide subject representation in the self-archiving of their information resources. As a method, an exploratory and qualitative study was carried out with the application of an electronic exploratory analysis of repositories and an analysis of transcripts of thesis and dissertation authors’ Individual Verbal Protocols during self-archiving. The analysis of the results in the Brazilian university repository sample shows that 10 have a self-archiving policy and five include guidance to the author on subject representation and metadata quality. The transcription analysis of the authors’ Individual Verbal Protocols reveals that all authors consider keywords important for content representation. The investigation concludes that the self-archiving process is fundamental for the dissemination of scientific information and wide access to the community.
