RCAAP is the Portuguese Open Access Scientific Repository. It aims at collecting, aggregating and indexing existing open access scientific content in institutional repositories of national higher education entities, and other R&D organisations.
It is a single point for searching, locating and accessing thousands of documents of a scientific and academic nature, namely journal articles, conference papers, theses and dissertations, distributed across numerous Portuguese repositories.
It is available from any computer in open access.
BGUPT promotes, in cooperation with the various Departments and teaching staff, Information Literacy sessions with the main objective of supporting teaching and research, fostering participants’ autonomy in information retrieval and management. It seeks to stimulate research and the use of the informative contents of the subscribed databases and, in this way, to constitute an added value for the academic and professional activity, according to the current challenges imposed to higher education and academic libraries.
The sessions promoted are aimed at the whole academic community, adapting to the needs expressed by different groups: students from different cycles, teachers and researchers, and adapting to the resources and sources of information made available by the University.
Requests for these Information Literacy sessions must be formalised by sending an email to the Library management, containing the following information:
Being the General Library the unit of the University of Portucalense responsible for the management and promotion of the Institutional Repository, this service aims to store, preserve and disseminate the scientific production of the University of Portucalense and to comply with the legislation regarding the legal deposit of theses and dissertations.
In obedience to the mandate and the open access policies issued by the Rectorate, the teaching staff, researchers and students of the University of Portucalense are urged to deposit the works they publish in the Institutional Repository.
The Library commits itself to protect the copyright regarding the access and use of the documents deposited in the Repository through Creative Commons licenses for digital publications, according to the authors’ guidelines.
Open Access Policy, Storage and Preservation of Scientific Production of the Portucalense University
The service of acquisitions and management of publications is managed by a process defined and codified in the scope of the quality management system, integrated in the Library Process.
The acquisition proposals are presented to the directors of the Departments, who validate them and send them to the Library, where they are subject to further validation (to avoid duplications, for example) and sent to at least three suppliers to obtain quotations, with the resources acquired depending on the price/quality ratio, reliability and speed of supply.
Besides the resources acquired through its own budget, the Library also acquires publications and databases of information resources for the Research Centres or other financed programmes, being its responsibility the management and technical treatment of all the publications acquired by any organ or service of the Portucalense University.
The Library uses various channels and products to disseminate information and regularly publishes bibliographic bulletins according to each type of information and resource:
All this information, along with other types of news, is also disseminated through the Library’s Facebook, Instagram and Youtube pages.
The Library coordinates the storage and dissemination of printed academic publications, through sale, offer or exchange with other institutions.
The activities of exchange of publications are developed based on exchange protocols established with other institutions, either by initiative of the Library, or by guidelines issued by the Departments or the editors of the publications.
The supply activities are developed based on the guidelines issued by the Departments or by the editors of the publications.
