From August 21 to 23, the 7th Seminar on Information Science (SECIN) was held at the State University of Londrina (UEL), Londrina - PR, with the theme "Linking information, cultures and communities: theoretical and practical reflections."
The event featured lectures by researchers such as Dr. Miguel Ángel Rendón Rojas (UNAM), Dr. Amanda Leal Olievira (USP), Dr. Marco Antônio de Almeida (USP) and Dr. Henriette Ferreira Gomes (UFBA), and the debates fostered discussions around information and its relationship with human development; the (re)signification of information in cultures and communities; and information mediation and social protagonism.
Members of the CoDAF project attended the event, taking part and presenting papers resulting from the research developed by the group, such as: "Informational needs of small rural producers" (Fábio Mosso Moreira); "Scientific production on data representation within the subject area of agriculture" (Jacqueline Teresa Camperos Reyes); "Family Farming and Public Policies: Analysis of the retrieval phase on PRONAF in the state of São Paulo" (Victor Ubiracy Borba); and "Resource Description Framework (RDF): The impact on publications in Information Science" (Diana Vilas Boas Souto Aleixo).
The published papers can be accessed through the event proceedings (http://www.uel.br/eventos/cinf/index.php/secin2017/secin2107/schedConf/presentations).
