With the job market receiving the first graduates, with a new professional profile and with the redefinition of the education model under the Bologna Process, has established itself the need to monitor the professional, investigative and training career of each alumnus, building a technological and informational infrastructure from which it will be possible: to collect, record and provide information related with each graduate; maintain a continuous connection of the alumni to the University and to the IS (Information Science) at the U.Porto (Oporto University); promote communication among students, alumni, researchers, institutionsand business employers, that harbors traineeships (previous Bologna implementation), dissertation projects and doctoral thesis; and also to promote and disseminate the scientific production, the organization and participation in scientific events and the entrepreneurial and business spirit of students and alumni. Created in the academic year 2006/2007, the Observatory of Information Science at the University of Porto (OCIUPorto) aims to monitor the professional, investigative and formative path of each alumnus, making possible the collection and availability of information about each graduate. This is a project developed by students within the course of Management Information Services, of the 3rd year of the degree in Information Science (IS) and each year a new team has the responsibility of its management and continuous improvement. Supported by the Joomla! content management system, the OCIUPorto encourages the collaborative work, improves the communication capacity through social networks and also stores the information produced and collected in the past nine years, providing an unique source about IS at the U.Porto.
