Abstract
Los universitarios españoles utilizan una gran cantidad
de información procedente de Internet, así como
una gran cantidad de recursos electrónicos. Dados
los problemas relacionados con la fiabilidad y calidad
de los diferentes recursos y páginas web, es importante
comprobar el nivel de penetración de herramientas
para la evaluación de este tipo de recursos
en las páginas web de las universidades españolas,
como es habitual en universidades de habla inglesa.
Para ello, se ha creado una base de datos donde se
han vertido datos de 80 universidades españolas, de
las que 50 son públicas y 30 privadas. Los criterios
estudiados han sido: el régimen de la universidad; la
presencia clara de servicios de biblioteca; la presencia
de herramientas para la evaluación de páginas
web y recursos electrónicos; y el idioma de los materiales
o guías. Este tipo de herramientas se integran
usualmente en la sección Bibliotecas. Por ello, se han
usado como fuentes principales, la Red de Bibliotecas
Universitarias (REBIUN) y la relación oficial que
figura en el Ministerio de Educación, Cultura y Deportes.
Este estudio se ha realizado en las fechas de
octubre 2012 y abril 2013. De las 80 universidades, 5
de ellas carecen de servicios de biblioteca, mientras
que el resto cuenta con servicios propios y acceso a
diferentes bases de datos, entre los que se incluyen
tutoriales y guías. Sin embargo, tan solo 46 universidades
prestan un servicio de orientación para la evaluación
de páginas web y recursos electrónicos, frente
a 34 universidades que no los incluyen. Aunque
mayoritariamente en castellano, se han detectado
otras lenguas (catalán, gallego y vasco) en los que
figuran estos recursos.
Spanish university students use a large amount of information from the Internet as well as a large number of electronic resources. Given the problems associated with the reliability and quality of the different resources and websites, it is important to check the level of penetration of specific tools to evaluate this kind of resources present on Spanish universities' websites, as it is common at English-speaking universities. For this purpose, a database was created in which data from 80 Spanish universities (50 public and 30 private) were included. The criteria were the following: the system of the university (if public or private); the clear existence of library services; the presence of tools to evaluate website and electronic resources; and the language of the materials or guides. This kind of tools is usually integrated in the libraries section. For this reason, the University Library Network (REBIUN) and the official list from the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports have been used as primary sources. This study has been conducted on October 2012 and April 2013. While 75 universities hold library services —including services and access to different databases—, 5 universities lack library services. However, only 46 universities provide tools or guides to evaluate websites and electronic resources while 34 universities lack them. Although the main language for these tools is Spanish, other national languages (Catalan, Galician and Basque) are identified.
