Analysis of the Findability of Information on the Website of the Archivo General de la Nación of Colombia

Abstract

Based on the importance that digital information environments currently represent in accessing and retrieving information, we seek to assess the findability of information on the website of the Archivo General de la Nación de Colombia. For this purpose, a checklist was used to analyze the attributes of information findability in informational environments. The mentioned website satisfied some of the attributes, and it is still necessary to implement improvements that suit both these attributes and the current technological requirements. Based on a less technical view, the importance of the participation of Information Science professionals in the design and development process of digital information environments is emphasized.
