They can put posters, power point presentations offered in conferences and proceedings, and dissertation and master thesis.

It is expected that as a result of our management, develop an inventory of best practices and recommendations that can be implemented in other units or enclosures. This tool will facilitate and assist in developing the integration of information technology in areas of work in tandem to promote a sense of community among librarians UPR System and creative work in order to identify best practices around how to support the researcher, from the library, to develop and strengthen a culture of evaluation and appraisal. This community aims to identify and share information as a strategy of community support among the sites and units that comprise the UPR system. The project responds to initiatives by the Vice-President in Academic Affairs, University of Puerto Rico, through the umbrella project called Redefining the other communities in Practice UPR Libraries System: a collective experience. This project conforms to the following evaluation of academic libraries (Association of College and Research Libraries) to visit some campuses and some units and identify areas to strengthen. The methodology used in the project is through the formation of communities of practice, defined as groups of people who share an interest or passion for something they do, and learn how to do better as they interact regularly.
