ABSTRACT
At present, countries around the world are paying greater attention to the protection of medicinal plants and traditional medicinal knowledge resources, and are looking for various ways to protect medicinal plants. Many countries have established their own databases to save the medicinal plant information resources. This paper focuses on the introduction of medicinal plant databases in six countries including Malaysia, Philippines, and Singapore, and compares their basic information. It is difficult to achieve integration and sharing among these databases. It brings certain difficulties to the use of researchers in related fields. It is suggested that the construction of a multinational common medicinal plant database should be included in the "Belt and Road Initiative" to systematically organize massive information, enhance exchanges between countries on traditional medicinal plants, and achieve medicinal plant information sharing, and the establishment of a shared database will reduce optimization and maintenance to a certain extent or renewal work, laying the foundation for the protection, development and sustainable use of traditional medicinal plant resources.
ABSTRACT
Resumo: O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar na literatura as fontes de informação sobre saúde mental (FISM) utilizadas pelas pessoas, bem como discutir as vantagens e desvantagens associadas a fontes específicas a fim de compreender as preferências e suas justificativas. Foi realizada uma revisão sistemática de literatura em cinco bases de dados nacionais e internacionais (PubMed, Pepsic, IndexPsi, Scielo e Lilacs) com a combinação entre dois descritores "fontes de informação" e "saúde mental" em Português, Inglês e Espanhol. No total, foram encontrados 46 trabalhos completos, mas apenas 12 foram selecionados para análise. As informações foram organizadas em duas categorias definidas a priori, com base nos objetivos do estudo: FISM utilizadas por grupos específicos e implicações dos resultados dos estudos analisados na prática. Verificou-se que a Internet e os profissionais da saúde foram as FISM de maior preferência das diferentes amostras analisadas. Contudo, é necessário que os profissionais indiquem aos pacientes FISM confiáveis e expliquem as possíveis limitações sobre cada uma. Conclui-se que, embora a Internet tenha aumentado o acesso a informações sobre saúde mental, o papel dos profissionais continua sendo fundamental na produção de conteúdo confiável.
Abstract: The aim of this study was to identify the sources of information on mental health (SIMH) used by people in the literature, as well as to discuss the advantages and disadvantages associated with specific sources in order to understand the preferences and their explanations. A systematic literature review was carried out in five national and international databases (PubMed, Pepsic, IndexPsi, Scielo, and Lilacs) with the combination of two descriptors "information sources" and "mental health" in Portuguese, English, and Spanish. In total, 46 complete papers were found, but only 12 were selected for analysis. The information was organized in two categories defined a priori, based on the objectives of the study: SIMH used by specific groups and implications of the results of the studies analyzed in practice. We verified that the Internet and the health professional(s) were the most favored SIMH of the different samples analyzed. However, it is necessary for practitioners to point out reliable SIMH for patients and to explain possible limitations of each of these. We concluded that, although the Internet has increased access to mental health information, the role of professionals remains crucial in the production of reliable content.

ABSTRACT
Mental fatigue is the subjective state of people after excessive consumption of information resources. Its impact on cognitive activities is mainly manifested as decreased alertness, poor memory and inattention, which is highly related to the performance after impaired working memory. In this paper, the partial directional coherence method was used to calculate the coherence coefficient of scalp electroencephalogram (EEG) of each electrode. The analysis of brain network and its attribute parameters was used to explore the changes of information resource allocation of working memory under mental fatigue. Mental fatigue was quickly induced by the experimental paradigm of adaptive N-back working memory. Twenty-five healthy college students were randomly recruited as subjects, including 14 males and 11 females, aged from 20 to 27 years old, all right-handed. The behavioral data and resting scalp EEG data were collected simultaneously. The results showed that the main information transmission pathway of the brain changed under mental fatigue, mainly in the frontal lobe and parietal lobe. The significant changes in brain network parameters indicated that the information transmission path of the brain decreased and the efficiency of information transmission decreased significantly. In the causal flow of each electrode and the information flow of each brain region, the inflow of information resources in the frontal lobe decreased under mental fatigue. Although the parietal lobe region and occipital lobe region became the main functional connection areas in the fatigue state, the inflow of information resources in these two regions was still reduced as a whole. These results indicated that mental fatigue affected the information resources allocation of working memory, especially in the frontal and parietal regions which were closely related to working memory.

RESUMEN La Auditoría Informacional consiste en evaluar y examinar, periódicamente, los recursos informativos que poseen las entidades para identificar la información, sus flujos y elementos como parte de los procesos organizacionales, para comprender la entidad y sus capacidades. Además, permite determinar cuáles son las fuentes informativas que poseen, cuáles son las que realmente se necesitan, cuáles las que no se tienen y las que generan costos inútiles, es decir, valora la efectividad y la eficacia del sistema informacional. Por lo anterior, la presente investigación tiene como objetivo: realizar una revisión de lo publicado sobre Auditoría de Información en EBSCO, SciELO, RedAlyc, Google, Google Académico y el Google Trends. A partir del análisis de la literatura se obtuvo la tendencia sobre el tema a partir de los países y años más productivos e idiomas más frecuentes. Se observó que aún se desarrollan varios estudios de casos sobre la temática y que las metodologías de los autores Bryson (1997), Artiles (2015) y González, Pintoy Ponjuán (2017), son las más citadas.
ABSTRACT The Informational Audit consists of periodically evaluating and examining the information resources that the entities possess to identify the information, its flows and elements that are part of the organizational processes, and thus the entity and its capacities are better understood. In addition, it allows to determine which are the informative sources that are possessed, which are the ones that are really needed, which are the ones that are not available and those that generate useless costs, that is, value the effectiveness and efficiency of the informational system. The present investigation has like objective: to realize a revision of the published thing on Information Audit in EBSCO, SciELO, RedAlyc, Google, Google Scholar and the Google Trends. From the analysis of the literature, the trend was obtained on the subject from the most productive countries and years and most frequent languages. It was observed that several case studies are still being developed on the subject and that the methodologies of the authors Bryson (1997), Artiles (2015) and González, et al (2017), are the most cited.

This study investigated the information needs and information resources availability for nursing students in mission-owned schools of nursing in Imo State. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design and five research questions guided the study. All the 416 second and third year nursing students were used for the study. Questionnaire on Information Needs of Nursing Students and a Checklist on Information Resources Availability were the instruments used to collect data. A total of 397 copies of the questionnaire were completed and returned for analysis representing 95.4% of the total population. All the head- librarian of the schools of nursing complied with the checklist. The findings showed that the students need varieties of information. It also showed that the students consulted different sources, mainly textbooks and internet to meet their information needs. Print information resources were available in the libraries and only few electronic information resources were available. The study recommended that the nursing school authorities should be updating their print resources since students were observed to rely more on textbooks. Also the libraries should upgrade to higher bandwidth so as to have easier and faster access to more e-books and e-journals.Keywords: Information, Information needs, Print and Electronic Information Resources Availability, Nursing Education

ABSTRACT
Information is very pivotal for students in their learning process and they dwell it into different sources to meet their information needs. The present study employed to gather data from medical students of IIMSR on the various types of information sources they use. The study results that print materials are the major information resource in comparison to other resources (E-resources) used by the medical students, who are daily users in the IIMSR library. Asking help from Teachers and Librarians ranked highest among sources contacted for information. Easy access and availability of information sources in the library were the most aided characteristics when looking for information. Student’s objection in getting information resources includes lack of time, location of library and attitude of management. The findings of this study demands increasing of information sources beyond print resources, collaboration between faculties and librarian, periodic updates from the library and guidance in the area of information resources are recommended.
