This year, it celebrated the seminar edition in CEIDA, Oleiros, A Coruña. There, 44 people from 14 different Autonomous Communities participate in the Seminar.

In this edition, they modified the working form — considering the presence of a series of experiences. The members established three working groups about the topics they spoke the last year: digital library, e-bulletin, and website evaluation. After the working group, it presented the conclusions.

FRIDAY 8TH JUNE 2007
 

• RECIDA balance sheet . Rosario Toril Moreno. Documentary Center from CENEAM.
• Conclusions and preparation of the next Seminar.

The different editions of this seminar have allowed the participants to commit to working on the website (RECIDA). The reason is that they can share resources and knowledge, which enriches everyone. Once again, we have missed the lack of assistance of the Catalan Coordinator (Montserrat Grabolosa) due to personal issues.

They decided the following decisions this year:

• Territorial scope of the network. For any publication, RECIDA, which means Network of Environmental Information and Documentary Centers from Spain.
  
  
• Website. With the help of Professor Jesús Tramullas, assistance from the Community of Aragón, and Javier Puertas from Europarc, the configuration of the network´s website is about to begin. Javier Puertas will also buy the website domain. On the advice of Jesús Tramullas, the DRUPAL tool (a Dutch free software) will be used to develop the Portal. He also offers a server located at the University of Zaragoza to test the Portal and the directory. They established the following deadlines:
  - December: preliminary project.
  - January: Manual of procedures for records.
  - February: start to work with the tool.
  - April-May: work with the directory for one year.
  
  
• Directory of electronic resources. As part of the RECIDA web project, a resource directory will be created and linked to the portal, although they will use a specialized tool. In September/October will begin the work to define the registration structure, the classification scheme, the Policies for entering records, etc.
  
  Isidro Aguillo from CSIC offers a computer from his Center to define the structure. Moreover, they will use this computer to locate and describe the first records that belong to the Directory.
  
  All the attending Centers were interested in participating in this project.
  
  
• RECIDA Assessor Commission. The reality of Documentary Centers participating in RECIDA is diverse. It is not only because they belong to different Administrations; but also for the differences in budgets, the volume of funds, documentalist training, and functions, among others. To be able to support such diversity is necessary an Advisory Committee with a specific profile: people who are in charge of prominent Documentary Centers, with enormous knowledge and experience, with also good contacts, and broad and diverse bits of knowledge related to documentation; also need to have quick access to very current information on new programs, existing and information resources, among others. For this reason, at the moment of decision, the people who form this commission are Carmen Pérez from INIA, Elena Primo from Instituto de Salud Carlos III, and Isidro Aguillo from CINDOC-CSIC.
  
  
• Pamphlet. they presented a new version of the website pamphlet. It modified the texts, which will be definitive.
  
  
• Moodle Courses. Javier Puertas who belongs to Europarc, offers the Moodle tool to continue with the workshops.
  
  
• Electronic bulletins.Due to various Centers making electronic bulletins (CIDA, Enviromental Resources Center from Navarra, CEPLAM Canarias, Europarc, etc.), it decided that they will agree to work in a shared manner, thus gaining time for other tasks.
  
  
• Information Expert and Environmental Documentation Course. María Jesús Círez from Aragón will be in charge of collecting the data of those interested in this course at the Complutense University of Madrid.
  
  
• QuestionPoint . Rosa Vela from InfoSud suggests this tool to share as a reference service. Each Center will study the economic and the oppportunities of its staff, to be able to join this proposal.
  
  
• Following edition of the Seminar. Next edition of the Seminar. It suggests some places, such as Zaragoza or Basque Country, but these Centers should confirm their fact availability.
  It suggests various themes of interest to discuss in the next Seminar: Web 2.0, marketing strategies, intellectual property, finance funds, information architecture, and digitalization.
