INFORMATION SOURCES FOR STARTUPS

ABSTRACT

The creation of startups must be accompanied by the implementation of an infrastructure that ensures their development and consolidation. Thus, the university-company approximation is necessary for offering infrastructure that provides access to scientific and technological information. For this purpose, we intend to identify the startups installed in the city of São Carlos (SP, Brazil) and their demands for this type of information. With this, we will develop a guide of information sources from the most used information resources identified in two studies of the Information Science field. We will list the open access and institutional access information sources available at the University of São Paulo that favor the development of startups. The form of distribution will be in printed format, to be distributed to the startups, universities, and other interested parties, as well as in electronic format, which will be made available at institutional portals of the University of São Paulo.
