Learning activities and methodology
The methodology proposes a training model that allows the student active learning and encouraging continued participation and support for teaching and interaction with the use of technological tools. It will provide for effective learning: transparencies ppt, email addresses, computer programs and practice models through Aula Global. The subject is structured: 1. To provide students with a theoretical vision of the discipline to acquire the fundamental concepts and knowledge to adapt to changing types of libraries, which also call for a new library model towards the knowledge society, giving the keys to plan and design resources centers and libraries 2.0. It will provide a pdf document with the notions and concepts to work in each teaching unit 2. Complementary framework. So that students understand that both types of libraries, in transformation, have different perspectives, trends and schools, students will perform a series of individual reading along the course. These readings, in electronic form, will be offered throughout the course through the Aula Global platform and shall constitute a basis for evaluating the attitude, motivation and monitoring of the subject by the student 3.

For the student to confirm their understanding of the concept, assimilation and application to efficient their future professional, electronic resources and/or virtual will be offered, complemented by discussions. This framework will be underpinned by e-mail addresses, resources, software and tutorials support the conceptual discourse. This illustrative framework allow to exercise practical understanding of the subject of an ongoing (lifelong learning) 4. Practices framework. For students acquire skills, abilities and skills practice activities will be proposed for students development in parallel with the development of classes. His goal is to prove that the student knows and knows about the competences proposed in each Learning Unit. It is designed as an object of learning: instructional design, additional associated material, examples, suggested exercises, completion by the student. 5. It may offer questionnaires for completion by the students, which will serve as a basic element of individual assessment and monitoring of quality in the learning process 6. Tutorials. To develop effectively the educational model, the tutorial system becomes important to ensure a collaborative and meaningful learning.
