SANTOVENIA DIAZ, Javier; CANEDO ANDALIA, Rubén; ALAYO MORALES, Raisa  y  LUJARDO ESCOBAR, Yanet. Forum of Science and Technique: libraries at the service of scientific and technological innovation in Cuba. ACIMED [online]. 2005, vol.13, n.3, pp.1-1. ISSN 1024-9435.

The Forum of Science and Technique is aimed at stimulating the creation of national solutions - innovations and rationalizations - that give an answer to the lack of resources and to the limitations to acquire and import spare parts necessary to maintain the production and services in the country. It is stressed the role played by the information management to avoid the duplicity of efforts and to support research. The importance of the provincial groups of technological cooperation related to health and the environment is underlined. The necessary interrelation between the info services and creators is approached. The possibilites offered by the consultation of the fora's database and of the banks of general solutions for the organizations are also described.
