LILACS is the most important information source of the Virtual Health Library (VHL). LILACS’ main objective is the bibliographic control of scientific and technical literature published in LA&C. Moreover, it helps to increase the visibility of this production and improves the quality of scientific and technical publications.
To proceed with this mission, LILACS needs to be constantly evaluated, extended and improved, with the active participation and collaboration of the entire network.
Thus, considering the main recommendations of the VHL6 Working Groups related to LILACS, BIREME invites LILACS Cooperation Networks for an online meeting to conform new Working Groups that will discuss relevant issues and actions to strengthen LILACS as a regional index of scientific and technical literature in LA&C.
The online meeting will be held on January 21st, 2014, in three sessions organized by language:
1st session – in Portuguese – from 11 to 12 hours (Brasília time)
2nd session – in Spanish – from 3 pm to 4 pm
3rd session – in English – from 5 pm to 6 pm
Please confirm the time in your country in http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/
Working Groups
BIREME proposes the creation of three Working Groups :
GT1 – Contribution to LILACS
GT2 – Bibliographic Description and Indexing in LILACS
GT3 – Quality of LILACS journals
Participation in the Working Groups is voluntary and any member of the Network can integrate one or more groups.
Agenda
• Presentation on LILACS: overview, contribution indicators and main needs (15 minutes)
