Abstract

The collective construction of network knowledge is nowadays considered a new paradigm for the development of knowledge. In this sense, virtual libraries, as a space of knowledge convergence, seek, through the establishment of social networks and content, to create facilitative resources of collaborative actions, which support and encourage activities aimed at information management. This article discusses the concepts of Network, Virtual Library and Collective Intelligence to reflect on the Virtual Health Library (VHL) model. It presents the Virtual Health Library - History and Heritage of Health (VHL-HPCS) as an example, which acts as an instrument of technical cooperation, and promotes networked collaborative work aimed at managing information and scientific and technical knowledge in this area. This is an initiative conceived and coordinated by the Latin-American and Caribbean Center on Health Sciences Information (BIREME / PAHO / WHO) for theconstruction and management of scientific and technical health.
