ABSTRACT
The introduction of new technologies has brought about changes in analytical-synthetic processing, one of the stages in the life cycle of information. Most librarians in the network of medical libraries are graduates in cultural and educational studies, and are not sufficiently familiar with the Medical Sciences Information System. A diagnosis of their needs showed that their training in analytical-synthetic processing is not adequate. Bearing in mind that personnel from the network should be ready to ensure the quality of services, we propose to develop a software supporting the training of librarians in analytical-synthetic processing of information in the network of medical libraries of Villa Clara. The diagnosis was based on qualitative methods and techniques as well as some quantitative resources making it possible to understand the current status of the network of medical libraries and determine the contents to be included. The software is structured into five topics, and a friendly interface enables users to easily move about their areas of interest at any moment. Implementation of the software will provide librarians with a source of information related to the knowledge and techniques required for the appropriate analytical-synthetic processing of information, as well as a tool for consultation and support to professional development and research activities.REFERENCES
