1. General information
The goal of this subject is to acquire the competences and skills necessary to create, organize and structure correctly references, lists and bibliographic repertoires.
The subject develops the basic competencies and skills to design, implement and maintain specialized digital information resources , such as guides, directories, collections or digital libraries. It is developed with a practical approach, which combines theory with laboratory practice based on project development.
Once the subjects Digital Publishing, Information Retrieval and Database Fundamentals have been taken, the next step is to the understanding and application of the concepts in the design, implementation and deployment of information resources.
The subject is aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals: 4, 5, 8, 9 y 17
