Presentation

The 1st INTEGRAR was held by FEBAB in March 2002 as an innovative Forum aimed to reflect, interact and share knowledge and experiences among specialists in the area of informational resources and cultural issues management. To achieve these objectives, it was necessary to assemble representative organizations on Archives, Libraries, Documentation Centers and Museums in partnership.

Now, 2nd INTEGRAR aims to proceed on this integration among the mentioned areas, and offers special facilities for professionals to present their experiences and practices in order to promote the diffusion of technical-scientific production, to enhance interaction and professional updating. Also, it provides possibilities to analyze professional aspects of the professions dedicated to information treatment and dissemination – considering contemporary society changes under way and their tendency towards globalization and cultural diversity as well as information and communication technologies that enable information access through digital resources.
