El objetivo del trabajo es realizar una Guía de Auditoría para la evaluación del Control Interno de la seguridad de la información  alineada a los criterios de las mejores prácticas de COBIT 5, con la intención de soportar de mejor manera la seguridad de la información en la Universidad Católica de Cuenca. Se toma como referencia el marco de trabajo de COBIT 5, sintetizado en las siguientes fases: análisis del entorno organizacional, determinación del alcance y los objetivos de la auditoría, identificación de actores clave a ser entrevistados, enfoque preliminar del contexto a ser auditado, determinación de recursos necesarios para realizar la auditoría, elaboración del plan de trabajo, implementación de tareas y actividades. En una fase de mayor detalle se ejecuta el mapeo de  los objetivos y procesos de TI y se elaboran los instrumentos principales para la aplicación de la Guía de Auditoría, que una vez implementados permitieron identificar las iniciativas en seguridad de la información efectuadas por la organización, en concreto se explotó  el código de proceso DSS05 de COBIT 5, denominado “Gestionar los servicios de seguridad”. Como resultado se obtuvo un diagnóstico del Control Interno de la seguridad de la información de la Universidad. Abstract The aim of this work is generate a for IT Audit dedicated to  evaluation of Internal Control Information Security aligned to the criteria of best practices of COBIT 5, with the intention to support better safety information in the Catholic University of Cuenca. COBIT 5 is taken as reference, summarized in the following phases: analysis of the organizational environment, determining the scope and objectives of the audit, identifying key players to be interviewed, preliminary approach context to be audited, determination resources needed to perform the audit work plan development, implementation of tasks and activities. In a phase of more detailed mapping goals and IT processes are executed after the main instruments for implementing the Audit Guide ere  developed, which once implemented it possible to identify initiatives in information security provided by the organization, specifically the process DSS05 code COBIT 5, entitled "Managing the security services" was exploited. As a result a diagnosis of Internal Control Information Security at the Catholic University of Cuenca was obtained and could establish audit findings that were reflected in the final report.

International cooperation is an essential part of library and information professionals' work. Three European health and medical libraries started a benchmarking project in year 2013, aiming at comparing services among our libraries in order to find and implement best practices. We wanted to share ideas, solutions and examples. The purpose of this paper is to give the final report of the five-year benchmarking project. The project was a continuous best-practice benchmarking process. At the end the process, we essentially experienced this kind of library benchmarking as a communication and development tool. International benchmarking provides new skills for information professionals

Purpose The purpose of this article is to explore and describe the approaches and specific assessment tools that speech-language pathologists are currently using to assess social communication disorders (SCDs) in children, in relation to current best practices. Method Ninety-four speech-language pathologists completed an online survey asking them to identify which of the following approaches they use to assess children with SCD: parent/teacher report, naturalistic observation, formal assessment, language sample analysis, interviews, semistructured tasks, and peer/self-report. Participants were also asked to identify specific assessment tools they use within each approach. Results Participants most commonly assess SCDs by combining interviews, naturalistic observation, language sampling, parent/teacher report, and formal assessment. Semistructured tasks and peer/self-report tools were less frequently utilized. Several established parent/teacher report and formal assessment tools were commonly identified for assessing SCDs. Most participants use an informal approach for interviews, language sampling, and naturalistic observations in their SCD assessment process. Conclusions Generally, participants follow best practices for assessing SCDs by combining several different approaches. Some considerations for future assessment are identified, including the use of established protocols in the place of informal approaches in order to make the assessment of SCDs more systematic. Future directions for research are discussed.

According to the 2010 U.S. Census, over 20% of Americans speak a language other than English in the home, with Spanish, Chinese, and French being the languages most commonly spoken, aside from English. However, few augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) systems offer multilingual support for individuals with limited functional speech. There has been much discussion in the AAC community about best practices in AAC system design and intervention strategies, but limited resources exist to help us provide robust, flexible systems for users who speak languages other than English. We must provide services that take into consideration the unique needs of culturally and linguistically diverse users of AAC and help them reach their full communication potential. This article outlines basic guidelines for best practices in AAC design and selection, and presents practical applications of these best practices to multilingual/multicultural clients.
