ABSTRACT

The Open Access Movement to the Information looks for scientific literature availability without economic restrictions neither of permits. Libraries and information professionals play a fundamental part in this context, through the design and implementation of strategies that allow a transition of the communication system from the traditional science to a new system, as well as promoting the potentialities that this Movement offers for the access and dissemination of the scientific results. The present work summarizes the results of a cuanti-qualitative study carried out between January and May of the 2009, with the objective of determining the main factors that influence in the participation of the professionals of the information of the Health sector in the Open Access Movement. For this, a printed questionnaire was applied to 40 professionals of the information, distributed in 13 Municipal Centers of Information of Medical Sciences and 12 Libraries of Primary Attention in Health. Also, four focal groups were carried out with a group of these professionals as well as an interview to a professional at provincial level, in charge of the process of informational literacy in the sector of health. It was identified that these professionals are not totally familiarized yet with the principles, strategies and resources developed as part of the Movement and that it is required to continue with the institutional actions to achieve bigger participation and leadership in the transformations of the models of scientific communication.
