Interlibrary Loan Circulation Services Research Services Delivery of articles Library instruction Technical normalization... “Bibliographic research” discipline to post graduate students

3 Universidade de São Paulo - Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos Serviço de Biblioteca http://www.eesc.usp.br/biblioteca 2005 50 Post-graduate students of Mechanical Engineering Students of Architecture, Production Engineering, Environmental Engineering Geotechnical Engineering “Bibliographic research” discipline

4 Universidade de São Paulo - Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos Serviço de Biblioteca http://www.eesc.usp.br/biblioteca Objectives of the discipline  Confirm the importance of observing logical methodology in order to have access and apply the actual knowledge and, with its use confirm the originality of their academic contribution avoiding unnecessary duplication or repetition  Offer methodological subsides to achieve the best level of quality in the academic documents which result from the master and doctor degrees work  Propitiate higher skills in the access to the essential information for the research in graduation level and in the finding of documents  Enable the mastery and skill for the writing of academic work of “literature and /or bibliographic review” and reports of “state-of-the-art”  Provide subsides for the planning, execution and management of research

12 Universidade de São Paulo - Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos Serviço de Biblioteca http://www.eesc.usp.br/biblioteca Conclusions 1.The data point out to a positive result, showing the advantages obtained by the students that take the discipline in relation to those who don’t. 2.The competences include security in writing and presenting of academic works, mastery of bibliographical research techniques and information and organization

13 Universidade de São Paulo - Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos Serviço de Biblioteca http://www.eesc.usp.br/biblioteca Conclusions 3.The library at EESC, has implemented effective initiatives as, for instance, the organization of events with the presentation of thematic lectures related to the research and publication of academic works to try to serve the students who don’t have the opportunity to take place in the subject “bibliographical research”

14 Universidade de São Paulo - Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos Serviço de Biblioteca http://www.eesc.usp.br/biblioteca Conclusions 4.This way, from the results obtained in the analysis of the collected data and respected delimits of the research, it is possible to conclude that the evaluation of the students who took the subject “Bibliographical Research” was positive and is of a fundamental importance for the development of the post graduation area at the Sao Carlos School of Engineering, specially because it contributes with the process of preparation of dissertation and thesis as well as other technical scientific publications.
