- How to participate? -

The used system is the one that facilitates RcLIS (Research in Computing, Library and Information Science) based on a distributed architecture in which the work of description of documents is distributed between a set of institutions. The institutions, habitually libraries or investigators in a personal view, can participate in several forms, depending if they provide data or documents (Archives) or if they offer final services to the users (Services us DoIS) or, finally, if they offer both.
