We describe the collaboration of the scientific library of Eugenides Foundation with two different nearby public schools, for the creation of a project on astronomy. Concerning our research methods, we followed the model of action research, as we needed active participation and dynamic reflection of the learners during the learning process. Despite the various limitations, the outcomes of the whole effort were very positive and led us to the conclusion that close collaboration between high school teachers and the librarians even of an Off-Site library can build on students’ low level information skills in order to reach a high level learning experience.

More specifically, it attempted to shed a light on students' information needs and their familiarity with different ways of satisfying them. The interest for this research emanated from a lack of relative studies among Greek astronomers, despite the fact that the investigation of astronomers' information behaviour has already been an area of research abroad. The target group of the study was the undergraduate students of the Department of Astrophysics, Astronomy and Mechanics, National and Kapodistrian University of Athens. They were invited to complete a questionnaire focused on investigating their personal information, such as semester and gender, frequency and capabilities of information searching, interest in keeping up-to-date, frequency and reasons for use and non-use of specific information sources, searching behavior and reading preference and methods used for getting access to full-text articles. Results revealed that undegraduate students show a preference for familiar, flexible, and easy-to-use information resources that provide quick access to information. In addition, they seldom or never attend seminars or conferences, rarely or never visit their faculty library and are not aware of the existence of some basic information sources. Regarding their searching abilities, they are ordinary searchers using only one or two terms, with no use of advanced searching techniques such as Boolean operators or truncation.

Και μόνο η ύπαρξή της δίνει τη δυνατότητα στους πολίτες στους οποίους απευθύνεται να έρθουν σε επαφή με τη γνώση σε όλες της τις μορφές. Η καλλιέργεια της αγάπης για το διάβασμα είναι συνυφασμένη με τις βιβλιοθήκες, πόσο μάλλον όταν αυτές επενδύουν και σε επιπλέον δραστηριότητες που μπορούν να τις καθιερώσουν ως κοινωνικούς και πολιτιστικούς πόλους της κοινότητας που εξυπηρετούν. Η βιβλιοθήκη του Ιδρύματος Ευγενίδου (Ι.Ε.) είναι μια ειδική βιβλιοθήκη, με προσανατολισμό κυρίως στην επιστήμη και στην τεχνολογία, διαθέτει όμως και αρκετές συλλογές φιλολογικού, κοινωνικού και πολιτιστικού περιεχομένου για την εξυπηρέτηση του ευρύτερου κοινού. Ιδιαίτερη έμφαση, εκτός από τη σωστή οργάνωση και λειτουργία της, δίνει και στην ανάπτυξη πρωτότυπων δραστηριοτήτων, οι οποίες στοχεύουν τόσο στο να φέρουν το κοινό σε επαφή με την ...

Today, the network consists of 8 libraries: Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation, Eugenides Foundation, Hellenic Maritime Museum, Hellenic Naval Academy, National Technical University of Athens, Naval History Department (Hellenic Navy, University of Piraeus, University of the Aegean). An important aspect of the network is that the partnership includes diverse libraries not only from the public sector (academic and navy ones) but also from the private (non-profit foundations). All these libraries possess important maritime collections and offer also targeted information services to the maritime sector. An overview of the vision is presented, as well as the values and the main purposes of the MarLiNet libraries. These are mainly: i. Expanding the availability of titles to their users; ii. Saving resources through a ...

Thus, more informative organisms internationally constitutes treasures and more information services adopt or adapt treasures for the support of thematic access in the material that they allocates. The National Centre of Documentation made a first step for the creation of proportional infrastructure in the Greek libraries with the growth of Treasure of Greek Terms. In this presentation is given the modern picture of treasures and are approached questions of structure, presentation and use in the light of the experience that was acquired at the creation of Treasure of Greek Terms, and in the light of international developments, as these are reflected in the revisions of directives of constitution and growth of treasures. More concretely, are studied individual operations that are today technically feasible (as pilotage via hyper-links, ...

H αξιοποίηση των δεδομένων τέτοιων ερευνών συνεπάγεται καλύτερη τοποθέτηση οικονομικών πόρων, σωστότερη επιλογή και χρήση πληροφοριακών πηγών και συστημάτων, αλλά και στοχευμένο σχεδιασμό προγραμμάτων πληροφοριακής παιδείας για τη βέλτιστη κάλυψη των πληροφοριακών αναγκών των χρηστών. Η παρούσα διατριβή επικεντρώνεται στη διερεύνηση της πληροφοριακής συμπεριφοράς των Ελλήνων αστρονόμων με σκοπό τη διατύπωση προδιαγραφών σχεδιασμού προγραμμάτων πληροφοριακής παιδείας, στοχευμένων στην κάλυψη των αναγκών του τομέα της αστρονομίας στην Ελλάδα. Για τη διενέργεια της έρευνας, εφαρμόστηκε για πρώτη φορά το μακρο-μοντέλο πληροφοριακής κατά την αναζήτηση συμπεριφοράς του Wilson στην πληροφοριακή συμπεριφορά των αστρονόμων και των προπτυχιακών φοιτητών του αντίστοιχου...
