NARANJO VELEZ, Edilma. Use of the Documental Information Systems in Higher Education: State of the Art. Inf. cult. soc. [online]. 2010, n.22, pp.11-42. ISSN 1851-1740.

Taking into account that the Documental Information Systems (DIS) have a role of mediator in the teaching and learning processes in higher education, a state of the art that shows the need to talk about this topic is presented here starting from the relation between the didactics and the library science in order to find bibliographic sources that allow to theoretically support an strategy to teach professors how to use the DIS, so that they can effectively use them and teach data and information, generating knowledge and overcoming memorization and repetition in students. From a hermeneutical approach that allows to show the progress and tendencies about this topic in different countries, the process of searching, recovery, selection and evaluation of the documents available in database, libraries, websites, search engines, and repositories, among others is used. The analysis, understanding, interpretation, and a further synthesis is carried out with the selected documents. That is presented in this article in a concrete way, highlighting the methodology applied and the results acquired. It is verified that the DIS-with the connotation given in this paper- have just begun to be taken as a medium and as a didactical space, because they suggest the use of information and are focused on the Information and Communication Technologies -ICT- with emphasis on the Internet and search engines.
