Abstract

Presents an aspect of the thesis in which a virtual learning network (here called information stocks in flow) facilitates the communication of information in groups of users that participate in it. Points out that the main characteristic of contemporary society is the application of information and knowledge in a cumulative feedback cycle of technological innovation. Discusses the value of intellectual capital in the process of social production, which means a constant demand of update in dynamic stocks of information stored in individuals. Defines the information professional role beginning with social responsibility in facilitating the communication of information to an user that needs it, in the process of construction of its own knowledge. Proposes that virtual learning networks take on the fundamental task of being a medium, not only as way of communication information, but, specially, in creating possibilities of production of new knowledge.
