The establishment of a research group focused on the characteristics of SoftDoc represents a shift in trend within fundamental research in Documentation Sciences, which are often anchored in past approaches. There is a movement toward the renewal of Documentation, using new information technologies as an indispensable tool, with the aim of inventing and exploiting new pathways for the management, organization, and utilization of current informational and documentary resources. SoftDoc embodies the change to which mblazquez.es subscribes and fully supports.
