Tópicos de inovação em bibliotecas e sistemas de informação

O tema da vez é Inovação. Apesar de não ser um conceito novo, muito tem se falado em inovar para sobreviver no regime de informação que se impôs a partir das novas tecnologias da informação e comunicação (NTICs) e que se fortaleceu ainda mais por causa da pandemia causada pela Covid-19. As mudanças de perspectivas são urgentes. Inovar é, acima de tudo, transformar o mundo à nossa volta para que ele possa melhor servir às pessoas. E você terá nas nestas páginas uma oportunidade única de beber da fonte de quem já realiza essas mudanças por meio de ações práticas no seu dia-a-dia. Aproveite e sinta inspiração o bastante para desenvolver iniciativas inovadoras no seu próprio espaço de atuação, pois é na práxis profissional que temos o poder de transformar a Biblioteconomia em uma área que, de fato, gera impacto positivo na sociedade.

  • Publisher: Springer

The book brings together contributions from over 35 Portuguese geomorphologists, presenting a thorough overview of the main highlights of the landscape of Portugal's mainland, Azores and Madeira. The book, which is a tribute to Professor António de Brum Ferreira, first President of the Portuguese Association of Geomorphologists and former Professor at the University of Lisbon, who passed away in January 2013, is organized in 3 parts: a) Introduction, which presents a general framework of the physical geography of Portugal, b) Geomorphological landscapes, presenting ca. 30 short papers with regional focus on key geomorphological areas, c) Applied geomorphology, providing an updated vision on the protection of geomorphological heritage with a focus on geoparks, as well as on Geomorphological hazards in Portugal. This first book ever to concentrate on the geomorphology of Portugal will surely become a benchmark for Portuguese geomorphology.

The Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the leading international body for assessing the science related to climate change. It provides policymakers with regular assessments of the scientific basis of human-induced climate change, its impacts and future risks, and options for adaptation and mitigation. This IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate is the most comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the observed and projected changes to the ocean and cryosphere and their associated impacts and risks, with a focus on resilience, risk management response options, and adaptation measures, considering both their potential and limitations. It brings together knowledge on physical and biogeochemical changes, the interplay with ecosystem changes, and the implications for human communities. It serves policymakers, decision makers, stakeholders, and all interested parties with unbiased, up-to-date, policy-relevant information. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
