Evidencia a ausência de interdisciplinaridade entre a Biblioteconomia e Tecnologia da Informação (TI), no que tange tratamento de acervos digitais e híbridos, bem como a necessidade da participação do bibliotecário em projetos de softwares livres para bibliotecas. Aponta as mazelas relacionadas à aquisição de softwares proprietários pelas bibliotecas. Defende a redefinição de metodologias acerca das técnicas de indexação e a necessidade da ruptura contemplativa na postura do bibliotecário; o que agilizaria e modificaria processos, contribuindo na tomada de decisão em busca do tratamento e da qualidade na disseminação e recuperação da informação. Palavras-chave: Biblioteconomia; Tecnologia da Informação; Gerenciamento da Informação; Softwares para bibliotecas; Bibliotecários - Postura Abstract It evidences the interdisciplinary lack between the Librarianship and Information Technology regarding, in what it plays treatment of digital and hybrid collections, as well as the need of the librarian's participation in projects of free softwares for libraries – it points out on the sore spots related to the softwares proprietors' acquisition for the libraries. It defends the redefinition of methodologies concerning the indexing techniques and the need of the thoughtful rupture in the librarian's posture; what would activate and modify processes, contributing to the decision making in search of the treatment and quality in the dissemination information retrieval.

Novel Technology

The advance of artificial intelligence (AI) as a field of computer science that can impact and improve all sciences and human interactions is changing the information sector. AI is reconfiguring many library tasks such as classification, indexing, cataloguing, information retrieval, reference, information literacy, and even learning. It is the greatest usable intelligence that has the capacity of assisting librarians in decision making and administration. AI can also be employed in various areas such as speech recognition, machine transformation, and librarian robots. The very disruptive nature of any novel technology can be perceived as a risk to many organizations, including libraries. However, the ultimate acceptance and integration of artificial intelligence into library services is indeed possible and beneficial.

Symbolic Number

Developmental dyscalculia (DD) is a deficit in number processing and arithmetic that affects 3–6% of schoolchildren. The goal of the present study was to analyze cerebral bases of DD related to symbolic number processing. Children with DD aged 9–11 years and matched children with no learning disability history were investigated using fMRI. The two groups of children were controlled for general cognitive factors, such as working memory, reading abilities, or IQ. Brain activations were measured during a number comparison task on pairs of Arabic numerals and a color comparison task on pairs of nonnumerical symbols. In each task, pairs of stimuli that were close or far on the relevant dimension were constituted. Brain activation in bilateral intraparietal sulcus (IPS) was modulated by numerical distance in controls but not in children with DD. Moreover, although the right IPS responded to numerical distance only, the left IPS was influenced by both numerical and color distances in control children. Our findings suggest that dyscalculia is associated with impairment in areas involved in number magnitude processing and, to a lesser extent, in areas dedicated to domain-general magnitude processing.
