The emergency of new realities in what concerns the diversity of databases supported by
technology which require high technological literacy (Norman, 1993) implies the assumption of
na attitude of continuous reflection and the creation of mechanisms of access to information.
This principle gave us the basis to the project, in the intention of developing a website which
allows the access of users from different regions, with common interests, to sources in the
domain of environmental education. This was considered an exploratory area, because, for its
transversal characteristics, seemed adequate to test the model, but it doesn’t exclude the
multidisciplinary possibilities of the resource centre.
This Resource Centre is called so, because it functions as the tentacles of na octopus, both
internally, by providing access to several databases inter-connected (in the prototype only the
one related to environmental education will be created), and externally, through the effective
contribution of each partner, so as allow the users a broader search.
