Popis: The development of new information technologies and communication, which arose in the second half of the twentieth century, the scientific community has brought new ways of communicating science, interacting on a global scale, making the boundaries of knowledge increasingly blurred.Scientific communication, subject to the interests of large commercial publishers have tried to free themselves from the shackles imposed by them, seeking an autonomy that has been difficult to achieve, but gradually achieved thanks to the Open Access Movement, thereby allowing access and sharing of knowledge and enhancing research, researchers and institutions to which they are inextricably linked. Institutional repositories are strategically defined as dissemination tools of the produced knowledge, especially in higher education institutions, enabling the pursuit of the objectives set by that movement, helping to provide the visibility and impact so necessary for scientific work, especially during economic, political and social difficult times with consequences that have an effect on the scientific community. The work presented here had as objective to understand the attitudes and behaviour of the teaching community of Polytechnic Institute of Coimbra (IPC), in relation to access of scientific information and the need for publication by teachers, seeking to identify potential constraints to the development of a own repository, having been used, for this purpose, a questionnaire with a form of an online survey near the IPC teaching community.This study has shown that the teaching community makes extensive use of digital technologies to look up necessary information for their research work, thus supporting principles underlying Open Access, which considers this an effective and efficient means for the diffusion of scientific literature. However, this study has also indicated that in practice there are some drawbacks due to constraints related to copyright laws, publication costs and other worries, thereby supporting the implementation of a policy based on this model.
