Abstract(s)
Objetivo. A necessidade do acesso à informação científica,
enquanto condição indispensável para a geração
de novo conhecimento, confere à informação um papel
central na produção e disseminação da ciência. Na
relação entre informação e ciência, interroga-se o lugar
que as bibliotecas ocupam.
Desenho/Metodologia/Enfoque. Foi realizada uma
recolha e análise da literatura internacional sobre o
papel das bibliotecas na investigação científica. A partir
da análise do seu conteúdo, a literatura foi agrupada
em cinco categorias que formam o enquadramento
teórico. Pela sua relevância, foi dada especial atenção
aos trabalhos empíricos desenvolvidos no Reino Unido,
Estados Unidos da América e Espanha.
Resultados/Discussão. É apresentada uma estrutura
bipartida —enquadramento teórico e estudos empíricos—
que dá forma ao estado da arte. Na primeira parte,
apresentam-se de forma breve as dimensões que
convergem para uma definição teórica do problema
do papel das bibliotecas na investigação científica. Na
segunda parte, são apresentados os trabalhos internacionais
que incidem particularmente na investigação
empírica do apoio que estes sistemas de informação
prestam à investigação científica.
Conclusão. As bibliotecas ocupam um lugar que está
em profunda reconfiguração. Por um lado, a oferta generalizada
de informação parece tornar dispensável
o papel das bibliotecas, mas por outro as bibliotecas
permanecem na sua missão de acrescentar valor, oferecendo
novos serviços e produtos, e contribuindo
para o desenvolvimento científico. O estado da arte
sobre a relação entre as bibliotecas e a investigação
demonstra, de forma cabal, a robustez e a pertinência
desta linha de investigação e sublinha a importância dos estudos empíricos como a melhor forma de nos
aproximarmos da complexidade relacional que está
presente na “vida do laboratório”.
Originalidade/Valor. É uma análise sistemática da literatura
relevante para o tema, onde se pretende construir
um diálogo entre as dimensões teórica e empírica,
a partir dos estudos que abordaram a relação entre
as bibliotecas e a investigação científica.
Objective. The need for access to scientific information, as an indispensable condition for the generation of new knowledge, places the information problem in a central role in the production and dissemination of science. In the relation between information and science, we questioned the place that libraries occupy. Design/Methodology/Approach. International literature on the role of libraries in scientific research was retrieved and analyzed. From a content analysis, the literature was grouped into five categories that form the theoretical framework. Given its relevance, special attention was paid to empirical work carried out in the United Kingdom, the United States of America, and Spain. Results/Discusion. It presented a bipartite structure —theoretical framework and empirical studies— that gives shape to the state of the art. In the first part, the dimensions converging to a theoretical definition of the problem of the role of libraries in scientific research are briefly presented. In the second part, we presented international work focusing particularly on empirical investigation regarding the support that these information systems provide for scientific research. Conclusions. Libraries occupy a place that is in deep reconfiguration. On the one hand, the generalized provision of information seems to render the role of libraries unnecessary, but on the other hand, libraries remain on their mission to add value, offer new services and products, and contribute to scientific development. The state of the art on the relationship between libraries and research demonstrates the robustness and relevance of this research line, and underlines the importance of empirical studies which allows an approximation to the relational complexity present in “laboratory life”. Originality/Value. It is a systematic analysis of literature relevant to the topic, where it is built a dialogue between the theoretical and empirical dimensions, from the studies that dealt with the relationship between libraries and scientific research.
