Usefulness of monographic research at URACCAN, Nueva Guinea 2003-2009

Abstract

The investigation allowed knowing the current status and use of the monographs in the library "Luz en la Selva" from URACCAN-Nueva Guinea Campus, during the year 2003 to 2009. The focus of the study was predominantly mixed-qualitative; we used data collection techniques such as literature review, surveys and interviews through which we obtained results on the classification of the 115 monographs conducted between the years 2003-2009. The highest contributions were made by the department of Educational Sciences, Humanities and Natural Resources and Environment, because among their requirements of culmination they compel the fulfillment of monographs. The main lines of research were based on the environmental and socio-economic development and the teaching-learning methodologies. The members of the university is aware of the existence of the monographs in the library, however the promotion forms have not been effective. The monographs presented different uses: generating projects, source of other researches and how to solve community problems.
