This study records the history of the creation of Public Libraries in each of the 417 municipalities in the state of Bahia. Taking into account the year of creation and the legislation that authorized its operation, the research is carried out by raising data that contribute to identifying the existing public policies in Brazil aimed at the creation of municipal public libraries. A timeline and mapping of the year of creation of each municipal public library created in Bahia was elaborated, in addition to rescuing the legislation that created these libraries. Research on the subject was considered necessary, since public libraries play a fundamental role in the formation of Bahian and Brazilian society and the analyzed data contributed to understanding the historical and political framework of public libraries in the state of Bahia. The methodological procedures adopted for data collection were based on bibliographical and documental research, which took into account the contents published in books and articles from scientific journals, available in digital and printed format, which fundamentally deal with BP. Documents were consulted that reveal information about the date and legislation of the creation of BP in Bahian municipalities, consulting primary and secondary sources. Since the primary sources were examined in person at the Archive of the Pedro Calmon Foundation (FPC), at the Library of the Legislative Assembly of Bahia, at the Geographical and Historical Institute of Bahia and at the Periodicals Sector of the Public Library of Bahia, and remotely in the Archive of the National Library Foundation and in the archive of the Mário de Andrade Library. In-person surveys were conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic, following all WHO-recommended safety protocols. As for secondary sources, the consultation took place through access to information available on the internet, such as the Statistical Yearbooks of Brazil, published by the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and the Public Libraries Guide, published by the National Book Institute ( INL). As a result, we have the history of the creation of public libraries in Bahia with the documents related to their operating permits.

The interweaving of literary narratives in the works of Flávio Tavares, involving the identity traits of the people of Paraíba and the Artist himself, as well as the reading and cultural mediation activities carried out by him is the theme of this work. From this perspective, this research aimed to highlight the influences of literary narratives from Paraíba on Flávio Tavares' visual arts and how such influences reflect on the interaction and cultural recognition of his audience. The interview technique was carried out to identify to what extent the works of Flávio Tavares, influenced by literary narratives, show his identity and memorialist constitution and demonstrate his protagonist role. The documentary analysis of the works sought to map the literary narratives and sociocultural traits that influence the work of Flávio Tavares. Questionnaires were also applied to those who know the works of this Artist to verify if the activities of reading mediation and cultural mediation carried out by Flávio Tavares, through his works, influence his readers, enabling the recognition of their cultural traits. As a result, it was observed that Flávio Tavares promotes the intertwining between the canvases and panels he produces with literature, especially the ones produced by writers from Paraíba, which presents traces of the identity of the Northeastern people of Brazil. It was found that making use of visual arts, the aforementioned Artist, allows subjects to have access to the art devices, expanding the appropriation of information that is recorded beyond written language, which, in many cases, leaves aside subjects who do not have mastery of that language. In this way, Flávio Tavares works by enhancing the expansion of the visual narrative, which informs and transforms the subjects' perceptions, supporting them in the act of critical reading about their reality and favoring the achievement of a protagonist posture.

This study focuses on the Information Regimes in their relationship with the social contexts in which they are inserted, acting in a dominant way to disseminate information and to influence society according to the ideas they convey. In this context, information is conceived in its role of reducing uncertainty, while disinformation can be understood through the repercussion of various terms, among which are fake news, responsible for uniting false content and the intentionality of those who disseminate it, which undermines trust in formal institutions of knowledge. Thus gained strength the QAnon conspiracy theory. Therefore, the theme of this research is disinformation and the thematic focus is disinformation on the Internet through Information Regimes, taking QAnon as an example, focusing on the fake news it disseminates. The established objective was to characterize QAnon as an Information Regime that disseminates misinformation with informational consequences for society. As for the methodology, it is an exploratory-descriptive research, using documentary research as a procedure, with a case study. The approach is qualitative and the technique used is content analysis with non-participant observation. As an analysis of the results, it shows how the user “Q” uses his network of followersto spread false information. It ends by presenting how QAnon modeled an Information Regime based on dogmatism. The themes addressed by him are organized thematically and from there the pointsthat the user “Q” sought to reach were inferred.

The incessant advance of information technology has been promoting changes in the habits of people, society, and organizations. The development of technological devices has made possible a significant progress and multiplication of new facilitating tools for the access and production of knowledge, especially with regard to information systems. In this sense, technological innovations influence the behavior of individuals and the profile of public and private institutions, which are forced to modernize and redesign their processes. Therefore, the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA) decided to join the Integrated System of Assets and Contract Administration (SIPAC) with the promise of integrating the middle activities in order to optimize the management of administrative routines in its various sectors in order to promote the satisfaction of the university community and the surrounding society. Thus, the present dissertation aimed to evaluate how the servers and outsourced workers of the Federal University of Bahia structure the behavior of information search made available by SIPAC, oriented to the performance of administrative activities of the Pro-Rectory of Administration (PROAD) of that institution. The focus of this study is based on understanding the informational behavior of the cognizant subject while searching for the information he needs at a given moment and context (organizational environment) in the use of computerized information systems, that is, to analyze how mental representations are reflected to technology. The methodological design comprises a monographic study of a descriptive nature, using a predominantly qualitative approach, by extracting data from the application of a questionnaire to a sample of 112 people among civil servants and outsourced workers. The current study is considered relevant within the university, as it is expected that from the analysis of the behavioral aspects of the subjects in the use of SIPAC, it will be possible to outline strategies based on the difficulties encountered by the respondents in obtaining the necessary information, and thus create possibilities for improving the quality of the services provided, contribute to the improvement of the management information system to increasingly meet the needs of these subjects, enable new dialogues and future investigations in the field of Information Science and provide subsidies for user studies in digital information environments. Based on the survey results, it was found that participants consider their co-workers as the main source of information. In addition, the slowness of the SIPAC was identified as the biggest difficulty faced when searching for information, and there was a clear dissatisfaction with the service center that provides support for SIPAC. The data presented also allowed us to identify the need to conduct new training for SIPAC, conduct satisfaction surveys, train the servers in ICT, improve technical support for SIPAC and analyze the source code and the architecture of the database.

The modern era has witnessed a significant shift in social norms, accompanied by the rapid advancement of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). These transformations have had a profound impact on contemporary society, particularly in the way people conduct information searches. To meet the demands of the current 'information age', individuals must possess a level of expertise and continuous training, which requires reflection on traditional approaches to education. The present research aimed to verify the search and information use behavior of undergraduate students from the Department of Life Sciences (DCV) and the Department of Exact and Earth Sciences (DCET) at the Salvador campus of the State University of Bahia (UNEB), highlighting the impact of new technologies on this behavior. As theoretical background, a specific literature review on search behavior was conducted to determine parameters for data collection among the surveyed students. This research presents the monographic procedure method (case study); the questionnaire was used as the main data collection instrument, remotely administered through an electronic form for respondents. Descriptive statistical analysis of variables was performed based on responses.

The dissertation addresses the modulation of behavior through surveillance and data monitoring, focusing on the News Feed of Facebook's digital platform. The research problem revolves around the capitalist practices of algorithmic modulation for control and information filtering, contextualized within the ongoing process of establishing a specific information regime within the studied platform. The general objective is to analyze the practices of algorithmic modulation and information filtering in the constitution of an information regime on Facebook. The specific objectives are to discuss how the platform's algorithmic systems function and their effects, as well as to explore algorithmic modulation and the phenomenon of the "filter bubble" based on the concept of an information regime. Using documentary and bibliographic methods, techniques, and procedures, the research, presented as exploratory in nature, employs Latour's Actor-Network Theory to observe the object and phenomenon of study from a socio-technical perspective. The identified results demonstrate, across technical, informational, and socio-technical dimensions of analysis regarding the platform's patents, its intention to respectively operationalize algorithmic mediation and modulation actions on its users, establish filters and bubbles in the subject-information relationship, and establish and maintain a specific information regime that modulates behaviors in pursuit of a voracious logic of surveillance capitalism. In conclusion, it is evident that the algorithmic modulation performed on the Facebook News Feed significantly contributes to the establishment of a specific information regime based on the appropriation of user data for behavior modulation and other purposes.

The term advocacy is current and emerging and signals the support of civil society and government in favor of a cause, strengthens the democratic system and the creation of public policies. Studies in Information Science on advocacy in libraries, nowadays, are perceived as scarce. It is believed that in the near future the theme will be strengthened by research and practices, enhancing the social function of libraries and promoting greater participation of civil society in decision-making in the library environment. The present study sought to investigate the use of advocacy devices in the Public Library of the State of Bahia, with a view to contributing to reflections that may reinvigorate the social function of Brazilian Public Libraries. Advocacy actions were carried out in the Public Library of the State of Bahia, chosen in this study due to its importance of being the first Public Library in the country and in Latin America. The advocacy actions were entitled “Course on Organization of Libraries for Evaluations” and “Perspectives and Expansion of the Social Value of Public Libraries”. As a result of the actions, we had an increase in the number of users at the BPEB, visibility of the BPEB, validation of the Public Library's social function; Influence on decision-making at BPEB, new activists in defense of Public Libraries, transfer of civil society in defense of Public Libraries and contribution to the dissemination of the term Advocacy among information professionals.

The use of social media as mediating devices for information and culture by university libraries in the Brazilian Northeast is the theme of this work. From this perspective, the present research has the general objective: of investigating how federal university libraries in the Brazilian Northeast are using social media to mediate information and cultural mediation with their user community. The specific objectives corresponded to: (a) identifying the devices used and the activities carried out by federal university libraries in the Brazilian Northeast within the scope of social media; (b) describe information and cultural mediation actions that reveal the sociocultural aspects that permeate the context in which libraries are located; (c) investigate the scope of the dimensions of information mediation in the activities carried out by the aforementioned libraries, based on social media. Regarding methodology, this is a descriptive research, adopting as a a procedure method, a study of multiple case, which had as its universe of investigation the federal university libraries in the Brazilian Northeast. The sample was constituted from this universe, selected the institutional social media profiles (Facebook, YouTube and Instagram) of the systems or directorates of these university libraries. The technique of direct and systematic observation of these profiles was adopted to describe and organize the actions that are developed in these virtual spaces, associated with the technique of content analysis of messages and posts on these devices, as well as the application of a questionnaire with librarian managers with in order to verify aspects related to the management of these profiles and the scope of the dimensions of information mediation. The data analysis procedure was both quantitative and qualitative. The results highlight some aspects that should be rethought on the use of social media investigated by university libraries in the Brazilian Northeast, considering that they have adopted such tools as devices and means of communication to disseminate information and promote culture among subjects in the virtual environment, and given that there is limited use of the communication potential offered by these digital platforms, in order to encourage interaction and active participation of their user community. This finding highlights the need for greater attention and investment in the development of mediation strategies, both information and culture, that aim to maximize the impact of these libraries in promoting knowledge and strengthening links with informational subjects in cyberspace.

The profile and insertion in the job market of graduates of the Postgraduate Program in Information Science at the Federal University of Bahia, from 2007 to 2019, are analyzed. To achieve this purpose, the following specific objectives were proposed: identify graduates; outline the profile of graduates and map the performance and professional insertion in the job market of graduates, all from the indicated institution and period. The method is monographic, of the organizational case study type. The research is descriptive in nature and has a qualitative and quantitative approach. In the preliminary stage, an information survey was carried out on the websites of Postgraduate Programs in Information Science and on the Lattes and Sucupira Platforms, to quantify the existing programs in Brazil. Documentary research was carried out on the website of the Postgraduate Course in Information Science at the Institute of Information Science at the Federal University of Bahia to identify its graduates and consult documents and reports. For the theoretical foundation and preparation of the questionnaire, bibliography was consulted in secondary sources, articles, books and other works. In the search and retrieval of information, several strategies were adopted, using the descriptors “information science”, “postgraduate”, “graduates” and “job market”, in banks and databases, Scielo, Portal de Periódicos from CAPES and Google Scholar and Bank of Theses and Dissertations. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire, consisting of nineteen open and closed questions, applied to graduates, who defended their dissertations/theses in the period referred to. Subsequently, a pre-test was carried out with voluntary graduates and the collection instrument was refined. The resulting data was organized in Excel, tabulated and represented in graphs and charts. The results made it possible to achieve the objectives set, to design the academic and professional profile of graduates of the Postgraduate Program in Information Science at the Federal University of Bahia and their insertion in the job market during the proposed period and to learn about other aspects. The study concludes with the characteristics of the profile of the graduates under analysis, the socioeconomic ones, which identifies the predominant female gender, earning an average salary of 7 thousand reais, and whose age is between 31 and 35; the professionals, in which the librarian/documentalist predominates, working at the federal level, with an employment relationship prior to entering the master's and doctorate course, and who underwent a change in their work occupation after completing the course, with the majority of them going into teaching; and academics, detecting that the majority of graduates studied at the stage level, and whose scientific production corresponds to between 1 and 5 works in conference annals. It is expected that the study will provide support for improving the quality of teaching and learning in the Postgraduate Program in Information Science at the Federal University of Bahia, the scientific production of its teaching staff and graduates, thus demonstrating its efficiency in training masters and doctors to work in teaching and/or research and also professionals to work in the field of Information Science.

The step of acquisition of informational materials in libraries, in the context of formation and development, presents subdivisions, of which the most common are purchase, donation, and barter. In the acquisition by purchase, the need to allocate financial resources is recurrent, and the use of mathematical and/or statistical formulas can be a facilitator in the process of allocating financial resources for the acquisition of analog and/or digital information materials. Thus, the need to study the allocation of financial resources in university libraries of the federal network is justified not only for financial issues but also because of social issues related, for example, to access to information. Therefore, the purpose of this work is to study how the allocation of financial resources works for the purchase of informational materials in university libraries, considering undergraduate courses. It is a descriptive research of information technology of nature, using the critical-dialectical methodological approach. As main results, we highlight that, in most cases, the reading of the Policies for the Formation and Development of Collections is not enough to fully understand how the process of acquisition of informational materials is carried out in the Libraries of Brazilian Federal Universities; there is no pattern among the researched institutions to allocate financial resources for the purchase of there is no standard among the researched institutions to allocate financial resources for the purchase of informational materials; eight institutions use formulas to allocate resources for the purchase of information materials; the existence of a policy for the formation and development of collections contributes to the presentation of criteria and/or indicators that should be used to support the decision on the allocation of financial resources for the purchase of information materials; the absence of a policy for the formation and development of collections affects the work of professionals in relation to the process of formation and development of collections. Therefore, this study recommends greater objectivity, transparency, and assertiveness in the processes that involve the allocation of financial resources for the purchase of informational materials

The OpenSciencemovementbringsuprelevantdiscussionsaboutcollaborativescienceinthe 21st century. In this collaborative universe, research data has been the object of study due to the social need to obtain reliable data for scientific advancement in an open and freeway. In addition, several development agencies recognize the importance of research data, consequently, they began to demand adequate management of these data. This highlights the need to ensure means and mechanisms for preserving and reusing data through policies that regulate the opening of data from public resources. By contextualizing the literature on research data, a gap is perceived in Brazilian universities as wellasinmostfundingagencies in the structuringofpoliciesthatdirectresearcherstothemanagementofscientificdata,since the Open Sciencemovementpointstoanappropriatedtreatmentofresearchdatatoenablethe process of storage, organization, search, recovery, and dissemination of collected data. And this impacts on the researcher's adherence (or not) in opening and sharing their scientific production, among other reasons. Thus, this study has the general objective: to know the perception of research professors regarding data management and UFBA actions developed for the implementation of a research data management policies in the context of Open Science. This is a single integrated case study, since, in Brazil, studies regarding data management plans for scientific research are still in their embryonic stages. Knowing the historical importance of the Federal University of Bahia, it was chosenforthisstudy.Forthe methodological route, the online questionnaire was chosen as an instrument for data collection, following the Likert Scale model. As this is a qualitative research, data analysis was carried out using the Paraconsistent Logic technique, with the aim of treating and balancing the degrees of agreement and disagreement between propositions, avoiding misinterpretations.And,together,theSpearmancorrelationcoefficientwasused.Theresearch identified some gaps in the policy framework for data management in Brazilian universities, despite the growing recognition of the importance of research data in the advancement of science.

The research identified some gaps in the policy framework for data management in Brazilian universities, despite the growing recognition of the importance of research data in the advancement of science. In addition, he revealed that UFBA is still far from the open science practices observed worldwide. The researchers indicated the need for policies that support the management of research data and emphasized the lack ofguidelines and institutional support in this process. Therefore, it was possible to achieve a better understanding of the perception and practices of Brazilian researchers in relation to the management of research data, as well as a critical look at the lack of effective policies to support Open Science in the context of Brazilian universities. In addition, it highlights the urgency of improving and implementing a research data management plan at UFBA, which mayhaveimplicationsforotheruniversitiesandresearchinstitutionsinBrazil

BACKGROUND: The scientific communication ecosystem is based on three fundamental premises: (1) journals publish correct knowledge; (2) peer review recognizes and/or produces correct knowledge and (3) citation performance rewards correct knowledge. These assumptions, however, have not been sufficiently tested. OBJECTIVES: To understand the relationships between editorial policies of scientific journals in the health sciences and their citation performance, testing the hypothesis that policies that promote scientific integrity predict expressive citation performance. METHODS: This is a documental, exploratory, quantitative, applied study, which employed public data. A random stratified sample of 10% of scientific journals of Medicine II from QUALIS CAPES 2017-2020 was extracted, pairing unique International Standard Serial Numbers of journals until a number of journals from strata A1, A2, B1, B2 and B3 was obtained, respecting the 10% sample (n = 411 journals). These journals had their editorial policies described within three categories: (1) editorial policies aiming to promote scientific integrity; (2) editorial policies related to the way content was made available and amplified; (3) editorial policies that communicated prestige. Citation performance indicators were retrieved using the journal's ISSN through the OpenAlex application programming interface in the free software Harzing's Publish or Perish, version 8.8.4384.8527 (2023.05.06.1538). The H, AW and E Indices of each unique ISSN were retrieved. The extracted citation performance covered the period of publication ranging from 2012 to 2022. A multivariate linear regression was performed between editorial policies and citation performance of journals. For all analyses, a p value <0.05 was considered. RESULTS: Among the policies that promote scientific integrity, adherence to the EQUATOR Initiative guidelines, incentives to registered reports and pre-registration of reviews at the Prospero platform did not prove to be predictors of citation increment. Among the predictors, the largest increases in citation were for the MEDLINE and SCOPUS indexes, but with wide confidence intervals. It was observed that indexed journals are not fully complying with the criteria for entry and permanence in the respective collections. The most accurate confidence intervals in the multivariate analysis occurred for policies of: authorship according to the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, data sharing, pre-registration of clinical trials, retractions, open access and pre-prints. CONCLUSION: Pro-integrity policies accurately predicted citations but generated a small increase in the distribution of received citations. Indexing, which is a characteristic associated with prestige, in turn, predicted an increase in citations in greater volume, but with less precision and without a high prevalence of integrity policies requested by the respective indexers. So, being in the indexer alone predicted a significant increase in citation distribution. In other words, prestige predicted citation in greater volume and with less accuracy. Integrity predicted citation in smaller volume and with more accuracy.

The research presented as a theme the informational behavior of high school teachers oriented to activities related to the practice of scientific research, associated with the teaching-learning process. Considering the statement, we questioned how the social network devices can contribute to the oriented research practices of the teachers of the Military Police College of the State of Bahia? To answer the starting question, we outlined the research objectives, whose general objective sought to evaluate the implications of the use of social networks in the oriented research practices of the teachers of the Military Police College of the State of Bahia, in the light of knowledge from the domain of Information Science (IC) knowledge. To ensure the feasibility of the research, we determined the specific objectives, which aimed to: a) profile the teachers who adopt social network devices to enhance the teaching-learning processes of the students of the analyzed institution; b) map the active scientific initiation projects and the respective social networks used in the process of search and retrieval of information by teachers and; c) describe mechanisms of informational behavior of teachers in the process of search, retrieval and use of content oriented to scientific initiation activities. For the development of the stated objectives, we used, in the research methodology, the monographic procedure method (case study), the level of investigation is descriptive, data analysis adopted a qualitative and quantitative nature, and the technique and instrument of research corresponded to the structure of an electronic questionnaire. The results allowed us to infer the interference of social networks in the teaching-learning process, also intervening positively in the informational behavior of teachers. As final considerations, we highlight the importance of qualifying the use of social networks inscribed in technological spaces, considering the school environment interrelated to the world of information and, consequently, discuss the potentiality of social networks.

The need to deal with problems related to the storage and control of the mass of documents is directly related to the volume of documents produced, received, and accumulated by the Public Administration. The disorderly accumulation of documents can hamper the efficient and effective functioning of the Public Administration and restrict the fundamental right of access to information. This dissertation aims to analyze the use of records management principles in the application of the right of access to public information, within the scope of the systemic secretariats of the Executive Branch of the State of Bahia. The research is characterized as a study of multiple cases of exploratory and descriptive character, with a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out through the application of a questionnaire and interviews with subjects linked to the target secretariats of the investigation. Content analysis techniques were used to process the information collected in the field. The results reveal how the systemic secretariats of the Executive Branch of the State of Bahia can, through records management, ensure the right of access to information. They point to the regulation of legal provisions and the carrying out of important actions related to records management as essential elements for improving access to information. However, for the effective implementation of archival public policies, aiming to ensure the right of access to information, permanent monitoring and evaluation actions are necessary. It is concluded that, in this way, the implementation of archival public policies and the consequent guarantee of the right of access to information, within the scope of the Executive Branch of the State of Bahia, can be carried out.

The study is about the continuing education of the librarian who works in legal institutions. The understanding that general education of librarians does not enable them to effectively meet the needs of legal professionals in their demands for legal information, combined with the lack of formal courses in Brazil that provide qualification to work in this area, as well as scarce literature on the practice of law librarians motivated this study. The lack of training aimed at developing specialized skills in legal information is considered in the literature related to the topic and needs to be highlighted, considering that spaces of dialogue in which the subject is discussed don’t have an adequate systematization to achieve this purpose. In discribing that reality, the research has the following question: how shall occur the continuing education process of the librarian who works in legal institutions? To answer this question, a general objective was designed: to know the process of continuing education of librarians who work in legal institutions. The specific objectives consist of: to describe the professional profile that is demanded for librarians who work with legal information; to verify the difficulties of librarians to search, process, use and disseminate legal information; to investigate the continuing education actions developed by librarians to work in law libraries; to identify the perspectives and challenges for the professional performance of librarians of legal institutions, facing the technological paradigms of the information society. To answer the question and achieve the objectives, the methodology of the present investigation assumes a qualitative, descriptive and exploratory genre, whose population is the law librarians of the city of Salvador. The sample made a total of 10 participants which were divided into two subgroups according to the respondents' working environment: group 1 - librarians linked to higher education institutions and group 2 - those who work in institutions whose legal practice provides informational support to legal operators. The results showed that: a) professional profile mostly belongs to the female gender, with consolidated experience in working in the legal area, age group above 40 years old and postgraduation; b) the most expressive difficulties in the work exercise are linked to the lack of mastery of legal terminology, the lack of autonomy in decisions in the institutional scope; c) continuing education actions are linked to own initiatives in the search for new knowledge, that is, courses, events and discussion lists and/or institutional incentives; d) perspectives that were presented are related to the massive use of ICT in the information environment to optimize the services provided, while the challenges are financial, human resources, infrastructure and technology. It is concluded that most of these professionals acquire knowledge and skills about Legal Librarianship in an autodidact way and in exercising the profession, due to the absence of formal tools that would enable them to work in legal institutions. Investments in librarianship training institutions are necessary in order to provide training for librarians who work or wish to work in different areas of knowledge, especially those devoted to legal librarianship.

Bibliotherapy, understood as therapy through books, can provide information that makes it possible to create a state of wonder in oncology treatment, which evokes feelings and emotions in certain patients, such as children and adolescents. In this context, this study aimed to determine how the reading process associated with bibliotherapy interferes with therapeutic interventions in hospitalized children at the Martagão Gesteira Hospital, Salvador. The research required approval from the Ethics Committee for the Study of Maternal Climério de Oliveira of the UFBA (CEP/MCO) with Opinion Number 4,827,922. In a field study, 29 children were hospitalized for cancer treatment. As part of the methodological procedures, we adopted the method of using forms in the Bibliotherapeutic Meetings to analyze the benefits obtained through the practice of reading and writing stories in the Martagão Gesteira Hospital. The research was carried out in pediatric oncology, specifically in the chemotherapy room, in the ward and in the oncology outpatient clinic of the Martagão Gesteira Hospital, in bibliotherapeutic meetings and the use of forms among children and health workers. Our work is based on the research of theorists who deal with the topic on the screen. In presenting and discussing the results, we can hypothesize that bibliotherapy practices can respond positively to children's behavior in illness situations, moving from a painful and apathetic state to joy, well-being, and change. Peace of mind is confirmed by the healthcare professionals surveyed. In analyzing the results of this study, we find that bibliotherapy promotes mental and emotional health, increases courage and happiness, and reduces fear and anxiety.

The interrelationship of bibliotherapy with information mediation and reading mediation is the theme of this study, whose objective was to analyze how bibliotherapy has been treated, in its relationship with the mediation of information and the mediation of reading in the scientific production of Information Science, and to identify the theoretical and practical contributions and perspectives in this thematic relationship. With regard to methodology, this is descriptive research, using bibliographic research and the quali-quantitative approach as its method. To analyze the data, the technique of content analysis was used, and the instrument adopted was the reading form. When analyzing the productions that comprised the sample of this work, it was noticed that bibliotherapy, information mediation and reading mediation are intertwined through characteristics that are fundamental to carry out the activities, however this interrelation is implicit, as it is not directly indicated in the studies by the authors of Information Science. It was also found that the most frequent characteristics are related to the systematization of the bibliotherapeutic action and the aesthetic relationship that occurs in the reader's encounter with the informational device, evidenced by emotion, among other feelings, which become fundamental in the development of activities and enable the (re)knowledge and transformation of the subject. Therefore, it is necessary to expand the studies on bibliotherapy and that they be developed in order to further explore the possibility of this thematic interlace and to enrich theoretical discussions about bibliotherapy, as this is an affectionate and informational practice. For this reason, it needs to be understood and defended as such in the field of Information Science.

The dissertation entitled MANIHO'K: MEMORY AND INFORMATION FROM THE Casa de Farinha OF POVOADO TERREIRÃO, MUNIZ FERREIRA, BAHIA, was developed within the scope of the Graduate Program in Information Science (PPGCI) of the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), in the line of research 1: Information Policies and Technologies, and hosted by the Memory, Heritage, Culture, Information and Digital Platforms Research Group (G-Acervos). The general objective is to identify the informational elements in the flour mill in the village of Terreirão. The specific objectives are: a) to record the narratives about the origin of Povoado Terreirão; b) present the informational elements developed at the flour mill in Povoado Terreirão; c) report the formation of the Povoado of Terreirão in the context of the Recôncavo Baiano and the municipality of Muniz Ferreira; and d) point out the documentary information about the Povoado Terreirão. The methodology used was the case study and the writings, in a tireless search for constituent elements of the place, as well as the innumerable ethnic-racial cultural contributions. The methodological procedures that helped guide the work are: literature review; secondary data collection; observation in loco and documentary research. The analysis and results were constructed based on Afrocentric references, based on the concepts of memory from Hampaté Bâ, ethnic-racial information (Oliveira and Aquino) and pretagogia (Petit). The conclusion of this study is based on the informational elements in the flour house of Povoado Terreirão materialized by artifacts, techniques, technologies and other orality and it is through them that all ancestral information is preserved and disseminated, enabling subjects to produce countless other ways of re-elaborating the contemporary world. Therefore, it is observed that such practices sound like a way of establishing identity and belonging, in addition to (re)existence.

Highlighting the importance of reading mediation in community libraries, for the training

 of critical readers, this study focuses on actions of this nature within the scope of university 

extension, articulating their analysis to the dimensions of information mediation. 

Thus, the research question was whether these dimensions have been achieved in the

 activities of the Lapidar Project, assuming that this hypothesis has been relative. Its general

 objective was to identify and analyze whether the dimensions of information mediation have been 

achieved by Lapidar, deployed in the specific of objectives of mapping the actions that are carried 

out; identify and categorize the indicators of the reach of the dimensions in these actions and verify the

 levels of occurrence of the indicators, evaluating the intensity of the reach of the dimensions the mediation 

of information. The study was descriptive, with-structured a qualitative and quantitative approach,

 based on the association of the methods of the case study and participant, and the adoption of 

the techniques of systematic direct observation, focus group and semi interview. The universe 

was that of Lapidar's actions and the sample was made in 2019, at the Padre Alfonso Pacciani Community 

Library, composed of 14 members of Lapidar; three representatives of the Library and 42 readers. 

The main results showed that Lapidar's actions are divided into two axes: focused on the training of 

mediators and the mediation of reading. In the first axis, they are intended to discuss actions for the 

training of mediators and acquire a teaching-learning character in their planning and execution. 

The reading mediation actions aim to promote and encourage reading in the community. Their mapping

 made it possible to identify indicators of the scope of the dimensions of information mediation. In the scope 

of training actions, the level of occurrence of the indicators demonstrated a relative reach of the dialogical 

dimension; the intense reach of the aesthetic dimension; relative to the formative dimension, and the

 ethical and political dimensions, although with a limited number of indicators, were analyzed as being of 

intense scope, allowing awareness of the area's social responsibility and the role of mediation. As for the reach 

of dimensions in reading mediation actions, the results pointed to a relative reach of the dialogical dimension, 

but which, associated with the awareness process on the theme, contributed to the intense reach of the aesthetic

 dimension, which suggests some reach of the formative dimension, although the evidence to affirm it was 

insufficient. The same occurred in assessing the reach of the ethical and political dimensions in these actions.

 However, there is evidence of an awareness by participants in the association they made between the topic of

 reading and their experiences. These results show the importance of research that deepens this type of study, 

but also allows us to conclude that the Lapidar Project has been reaching the dimensions of information 

mediation in the actions it carries out. Although the intensity of this reach is occurring without equity between 

these dimensions, it has been developing, and this study can collaborate with the advancement of Lapidar, 

which continues to systematically improve the training of mediators and cooperate with the

social development of the external community.

The elderly population has grown more and more. This phenomenon is due to different factors, among them, the increase in life expectancy and the advancement of Medicine. Based on these inferences, it is necessary to adopt practices that can contribute to improving the quality of life in old age. In this perspective, the objective of this research was to analyze the reading mediation actions aimed at the elderly, in the city of Salvador, and to verify how these actions have been carried out. As for the methodology, it is a descriptive research, in which the survey method was used to identify the Long Term Care Institutions for the Elderly (ILPI) in the city of Salvador, and the method of multiple case studies, to investigate the way how these LTCFs develop reading mediation actions with the elderly. The interview technique, carried out in person, and the application of a questionnaire, via e-mail, to the managers of the 12 LTCF participating in the research collaborated to fulfill the stages of carrying out the reading mediation activities and to verify if the dimensions of the information mediation were achieved in reading mediation activities. In order to broaden the analysis of the scope of the dimensions of information mediation advocated by Gomes, a documentary analysis was also carried out with the adoption of the form. The results of the research pointed out that there are several possibilities to mediate reading with different devices and different purposes. However, storytelling and music therapy can be considered one of the most frequent reading mediation activities. It is also found that planning is essential to carry out the entire process of mediation of reading carried out at the LTCF and to reach the dimensions of mediation of information. It was concluded that reading mediation activities stimulate an awareness of the reality that the elderly live and a feeling of belonging on their part. In addition, reading mediation activities may be related to self-discovery, knowledge of others and the appropriation of information by the elderly, when they act proactively in their biopsychosocial context.

This research pointed to the need for the performance of a multiprofessional team in the development and graphic planning of scientific journals. Shortcomings have been noted in terms of a user-centered design of scientific publications, which requires immediate increments to achieve a better visual presentation of the publication, with the priority of transferring, producing and circulating information efficiently, clear and objective. However, there was an enormous resistance from scientific-academic editors in directing investments to assemble multiprofessional teams, leaving the graphic designer with all this responsibility and demanding from him, on semiotic knowledge, graphic design and on the user's cognitive field. Thus, it was asked: what elements and principles of editorial design should a scientific journal adopt to achieve a better visual presentation, specific to the dissemination of scientific knowledge? Note this questioning, the general objective of this study was to discuss the theoretical assumptions about what editorial design is and its contribution to the dissemination of scientific information in the light of the grammar of visual design and information science. In the specific objectives, the concepts of information, communication, semiotics and design were addressed, identified as issues involved in the design methodology and its vectors for scientific journals; editorial design was understood and its role as a mediator for the dissemination of scientific information; the history of the Revista Gazeta Médica da Bahia was revisited and the layout of the three covers chosen as a sample of the study was systematized, contributing to the areas of information science and design. For this investigation, a visual analysis of the layout of three covers of Gazeta Médica da Bahia was carried out, applying the theory of Kress and van Leeuwen (1996/2006), in order to understand editorial design and its role as a mediator for the dissemination of scientific information.

Assesses information management in public security operations for Major Events, held at the IOC / ICCC. It aims to outline ways to reduce uncertainties, to produce quality information, and to generate organizational knowledge, aimed at making strategic decisions. It is justified due to the harmful effects of the lack of information management in the C2 activity, in the public security operations for Major Events. It selects, as a sample, six servers that are members of the Planning Management of the IOC / ICCC, chosen by means of the intentional criterion and judgment of the non-probabilistic sample. It is methodologically designed as a case study using a descriptive survey (data collection instrument) composed of a semistructured questionnaire, with 12 open and closed questions. It assumes: the theoretical and practical processes, existing in information management, favor the C2 activity performed in public security operations for Major Events, carried out by SPS / State of Bahia, at IOC / ICCC. Analyzes the data by means of statistical tabulation and analysis of responses, determining percentages for the various response alternatives presented. It presents, as main results: the sources of information and the informational mapping come from the institutions that integrate the public security operations for Major Events; information flows, likewise, are the result of interinstitutional action; existing ICTs, in general, meet informational needs, with the IOC / ICCC being the greatest technological reference. It suggests, through the results obtained, the proposition of some actions / acquisitions, to subsidize the improvement of the information management, in the public security operations of SPS / State of Bahia in Major Events

This study deals with an aspect of Law No. 12,527/2011 on Access to Information, when it states that all citizens have the right to information and access to documents related to public administration, in a transparent, clear and easy-to-understand language. In addition, the Brazilian Law of Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities No. 13.146/2015 is addressed, which, in article 63, establishes the mandatory accessibility of websites maintained by government agencies for the use of persons with disabilities, according to the practices and guidelines of accessibility adopted internationally. To this end, the websites of government agencies that work directly with document management will be analyzed, in order to verify if they comply with the law and at what stage of application they are. Narrowing this field of research, as part of the master's dissertation that is being developed, it is intended to verify the public archives and the accessibility of information on their websites, with the general objective of verifying the applicability of the Law on Access to Information and of the Accessibility Law for people with visual impairment on the electronic sites of the state public archives in the Northeast region. The applied methodology will be descriptive research, through quantitative and qualitative analysis criteria through the documental research procedure, comparing the data from the websites that is provided by law, obtaining the preliminary results of this Master's research. So far, the study shows that of the 9 states in the Northeast, 8 have a public state archive and 7 have electronic sites; in addition, it has as a result that 3 websites have the possibility of switching the font size and 2 websites have the high contrast option as accessibility features. However, only the public archives of the states of Pernambuco, Piauí and Alagoas have their own websites; the others - Bahia, Ceará, Maranhão and Sergipe - are linked to the websites of secretariats of state. Given the above, the importance of this work lies in emphasizing that the inclusion of people with disabilities contributes to the democratization of access to information, promoting social equality, valuing diversity, respecting differences and providing the same opportunity for all citizens, therefore, is a way for institutions to exercise their social responsibility.

The mediation of information analyzed within the scope of the NGO known as Observatorio Venezolano de Conflictividad Social, which underlies the scope of the defense of human rights and social protagonism is the aim of this work. In this perspective, this research was made to verify and analyze how the mediation of information has been carried out by the OVCS in defense of human rights and the development of social protagonism. The technique of direct observation of the activities carried out by the OVCS mediating agents was adopted for the mapping, description and categorization of the information mediation actions carried out by the OVCS. Based on these observations, it was decided to adopt the technique of applying a questionnaire and conducting interviews with the mediating agents of the OVCS, in order to obtain information on the level of these mediating actions with the development of a culture for human rights and the development of social protagonism, and to identify the perception of the concept of mediation of information that the mediating agents of OVCS have and its approximation with current theoretical conceptions in Information Science. In order to carry out the research, a reflection was necessary, based on the literature, which addressed the human rights and mediation of information, showing their contributions to the development and to make better the social protagonism. As a result, it was observed that this study offers a contribution to the development and improvement of OVCS information mediation actions in the struggle for the rights of Venezuelans. It was found that this contribution is a recognition of the relevance of the OVCS, which has been systematically striving to document, analyze and make visible the protests that took place on the Venezuelan streets, in order to support transformative actions that ensure respect for the rights of all, with equality and without discrimination by race, color, political thought or social condition.

The research had as its object of study cognitive science as an aid in the representation of knowledge in the era of industry 4.0. The general objective of the research was to develop parameters for the creation of a dynamic model for the organization of technological information based on cognitive analysis for an organization and representation of knowledge that meets the specificities of industry 4.0. The research encompassed a theoretical-methodological approach with a quali-quantitative approach that emphasizes description, induction, grounded theory and the study of personal perceptions, with quantitative support in statistical analysis. The documentary framework on the representation of knowledge in the industrial area was based on the Microthesaurus published by Senai Departamento Nacional (DN). The bibliographical research aimed at the construction of the theoretical framework had its corpus formed by texts in the areas of information science and cognitive science, which have the proposal to elucidate issues related to the representation, dissemination and dissemination of knowledge, in the light of cognitive science that it supports the analysis of both printed and non-printed materials, and on the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is also known as Industry 4.0, among others referenced in the thesis. It is a theoretical research with a qualitative approach. It adopts a theoretical methodological procedure of content analysis, with approaches to qualitative aspects, and descriptive, exploratory and bibliographic research techniques. The subjects of the investigation were the professors and librarians from the Senai Bahia Units and from other regions of Brazil. The data collection instruments used were the closed questionnaire with multiple choices, the tool used was Google Forms. The results of the analysis of the collected information showed that it is important to evaluate the use of a quality technological information organization instrument that meets the company's needs and is capable of offering personalized services to meet its demand in the organization of these data; should be planned using the principles of Industry 4.0. The proposed model was constituted in a spiral, as it represents a cyclical and continuous movement of actions necessary for the development of a system of organization and representation of technological information in the industrial area. The model seeks to combine best practices and trends related to process optimization, using a concept that streamlines the pre-determined phases, in a continuous way, enabling its planning, updating and evaluation of services. The thesis defended is that the technologies arising from industry 4.0 can contribute to the expected innovation in the evolution of software indicated for the use of information representation and organization systems, helping in the development and functionality of the tools used in the area, namely: the taxonomies, ontologies, folksonomy and thesaurus that, in the view of industry 4.0, must be thought of in an integrated manner, taking advantage of the potential of each one, making a system whose main characteristics are integrality, connectivity, cognitivity and interoperability fostered by the technological revolution .

The mediation of information consists of an autonomous, dynamic and dialogic process that, through interference, aims at the appropriation of information and contributes to the emancipation of the subject in satisfying his/her informational need. It is considered that the mediating action is directly related to the praxis of the archivist and the librarian and to their level of awareness, and that the surroundings of a contemporary informational scenario bring new challenges to this performance. From this perspective, the role of the mediator of information in the 21st century is questioned and analyzed and how the development of infocommunication skills contributes to the construction of a profile aligned with a conscious performance. Specifically, we sought to elucidate their role, identify the skills required and analyze the elements needed to build their professional profile. As for the methodological procedures, a bibliographical research was carried out to understand the concepts dealt with and develop the theoretical aspect of the research. In empirical terms, there was an observation around the extension course entitled Promoting infocommunication skills in higher education, which was aimed at students from the Archives and Library Science courses at UFBA, in its first edition, and at students from the Library Science course at UFRGS and librarians in the second edition. Thus, the research was carried out with 136 students, in order to analyze the contribution of these skills in the formation of conscious mediators. In this sense, participant observation and the application of a questionnaire were used as data collection techniques, using the observation script and the questionnaire as instruments. Content analysis was also adopted for the purpose of describing and analyzing the data obtained. The results achieved indicate that the development of aesthetic, ethical, political, dialogic, collaborative and otherness aspects related to infocommunication skills can result in an increase in the level of participatory and collaborative awareness of the mediator, as well as leading him to a more critical and proactive, stimulating reflection on their role in the process of appropriation of information and emancipation of the prosumer from the informational universe. Such results lead to the proposition of these elements as necessary for the construction of the information mediator's profile. Therefore, it can be concluded that the role of the information mediator has a social character and aims to contribute to a greater autonomy of the subjects in the process of search, appropriation and critical use of information and is reflected, above all, in education for information. In this sense, it is understood that it is necessary to develop a set of knowledge, skills and attitudes to critically deal with information, communicate and relate to others, deal with technology and its social, political and cultural impact, have a critical and reflective posture around learning itself and its praxis for the construction of a protagonist profile that proves to be essential in the context of a mediation of information aimed at the construction of knowledge, as it gradually leads the mediator to an action more aware.

The study presented analyzed, based on the curricula and teaching practices in higher education institutions in Brazil, the archivist's formative process focused on the information mediation, in which the aim is to highlight the profile of this professional to deal with the production and access to archival information, the relationship between user versus archival information and informational devices. In order to reach the general objective of this research, some specific objectives were formulated, namely: survey and characterize the undergraduate courses in archival science currently operating in Brazil; survey and describe the curricular components that focus in their contents the information mediation in archival courses; investigate the understanding of coordinators, professors and students of the archival courses studied about the formation of the archivist, with regard to the curriculum (theory and teaching practice) and information mediation; to map the profile of professors and students of archival courses at the higher education institutions studied; and, to delineate confluences between the levels of relevance given to the contents of information mediation in the formation of the brazilian archivist, considering the prescribed and practiced curriculum of the higher education institutions studied. Thus, applied research was adopted, at a descriptive level, characterized in terms of procedures as documentary research, referring to field research as multiple cases, as it deals with brazilian archival courses. Among the data collection techniques, are highlighted the indirect systematic observation, interview and application of an electronic questionnaire, using content analysis that, due to the complexity of the phenomenon, enabled the production of results, in a qualitative and quantitative. The results showed five archival courses, located in the south and southeast of the country, which have specific curricular components that deal with mediation in archives, demonstrating that the theme is gradually inserted in the archival context. The traditionalist conception was observed coexisting with the critical conception, favoring discussions about the graduate's profile to assume a mediating role, focused on the dialogic learning process, critical reflection, social commitment. There was a reasonable gap between the prescribed curriculum and teaching practice, noting that the theoretical and practical foundations of information mediation are approached in an incipient way, associated with cultural action, heritage education, reference service, uses and users and archival diffusion, making it difficult for future archivists to mediate consciously. In conducting the content, it was inferred the effort of teachers to contemplate the dimensions of mediation, emphasizing the dialogic and ethical; and there is an attempt to encourage protagonism, promoting simulated practices, with participatory teaching techniques and formative assessments. The study highlights a need to reformulate the competences of the National Curriculum Guidelines in the area, with a view to consolidating the contents and practices aimed at meeting the informational needs of users and the appropriation of information as a central element; assign parameters for teaching information mediation; and strengthen the relationship with education, in order to prepare professionals who can guarantee services and products for contemporary society and enable learning situations

This research intends to infer, from the minutes of the sessions of the University Council (CONSUNI) of the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA), from 1961 to 1971, and the documentation of the newspaper A Tarde corresponding to the same period, as well as through the survey bibliographic and interviews with students and teachers who were present in the institution during the mentioned period, as the UFBA was institutionally positioned regarding the civil-military coup of 1964, which occurred in Brazil. It presents the sectors that supported the overthrow of the hitherto president of the republic, João Goulart. It discusses how Brazilian universities, especially UFBA, lived with the civil-military uprising and the early years of the dictatorship, especially with regard to violations of human rights and curtailment of freedoms. Explains about the concepts of archive, memory and forgetting, correlating them with the theme of this study. In the light of archival studies, it analyzes the minutes of CONSUNI of UFBA from 1961 to 1971, as well as documentation of the newspaper A Tarde relevant to the subject. This research is characterized as an applied case study, containing a qualitative approach. Regarding the data collection procedures, we used the bibliographic and documentary searches. Regarding the technique, interviews were conducted with UFBA staff and students, as mentioned, from the mentioned period. The results showed that most Brazilian universities, including the UFBA, fearing an attack on their autonomy, especially after the overthrow of João Goulart, chose to align themselves ideologically with the Armed Forces coup speech. It is concluded that, especially from the point of view of its decision-making bodies, while recognizing the limits of representative democracy, as well as the political-ideological complexity of a university, UFBA has placed itself in support of that coup.

This thesis investigates the archival ethos in the search for diversity. Based on its theoretical nature, it examines the modern/colonial agenda´s implications in the collective memory´s composition. Then it presents the conditions provided by the insurgent theoretical movements. The plurality favoring constitutive line identifies the Documentation Plan, Total Archives, Documentation Strategy, Macroevaluation and Community Archives. Characterized by their permanent negotiation such initiatives demonstrate: (a) emergence as side effects of Modernity/Coloniality suppression; (b) the sprayed dynamics of eclosion, and; (c) consciousness about the field´s reflexive improvement, indicating its dynamic character. Such particularities enhance their sense of revisiting to establish futures for the multiplicity agenda.

Due to the increasing demand of students in the condition of visual impairment, which refers to people with low vision or blind, it is required an active posture of the university library (UL) in the promotion of inclusion, at the appropriate planning level that integrates the supply of resources and accessible materials to receive them. In view of this situation, the general objective of the research was to know the conditions of inclusion for people with visual impairment in the libraries of the Federal University of Recôncavo da Bahia (UFRB), investigating the effectiveness, that is, the concrete effect of the production of the area of Information Science (IS) for the inclusion of these individuals. The IS's proposal is to investigate the properties and flows of information and also to stockpile, retrieve and collect information, and is committed to the benefit of individuals in order to give them access to information regardless of limitations. In this way, it is appropriate to approach inclusion in the scope of IS, since the object of study of this science, information, needs to be accessible to all, including the person with visual impairment (PVI). Regarding the specific objectives of this research, they included: a) to identify the production of IQ in the theme of inclusion of the visually impaired person; b) analyze the effectiveness of IC production for the inclusion of the visually impaired person in UFRB libraries; c) to investigate how UFRB libraries have followed the existing legal frameworks on the inclusion of the visually impaired person; d) map assistive technology (TA) resources used in UFRB libraries; and e) to point out the perception of the visually impaired student about the inclusion in the UFRB libraries. For a precise discussion about the theme, it was necessary to address the appropriate terminology to refer to the POS, and the path taken to reach inclusion, a repertoire from inclusive education, that which defends education as the right of all. As to its nature, the research is descriptive, qualitative and quantitative, and the materialistic dialectic was used as a method of approach, and so the contextualization of the problematic was carried out through history, which made possible the clear understanding of the phenomenon studied and the overall view, guiding aspects of this approach. As a result of the UFRB libraries being the research universe, data were collected through different interview scripts, with the library manager, the Manager of the Nucleus of Inclusion Policies (NUPI) of UFRB and with the students in the condition of visual impairment; and by separate questionnaires, with the attendance staff and with the librarians. In the research it was verified that the production of IS in the theme of inclusion has impacted on UFRB libraries, since TA resources are already used and that librarians and managers have some follow-up of the legal aspects on inclusion. However, the scenario is not yet essentially inclusive, efforts to embrace diversity through inclusive practices still need to be intensified

This thesis observes the contributions the black women studies and feminism fields have to offer to the information representation field of studies. Due to the lack of previous studies on the theme, this research adopts for analysis the literature oftwo Afro-Brazilian authors: Úsula of Maria Firmina and Ponciá Vicencio of Conceição Evaristo. As a research problem, the study consisted in the investigation of documentary languages, due to the lack of terminological adjustments of the controlled vocabularies, in order to contemplate the terms of black feminism and black women studies. In light of this scenario, the following question has arisen: How can black feminist literature reveal the need for terminological adjustments of the current documentary languages? The general objective of the research was to analyze how black feminist literature can reveal the need for documentary languages to adapt to terminologies in the instruments of information representation. As specific objectives this research aimedto raise and to sumarize the representative terms of the black feminist literature of the XIX and XXI centuries and the current documentary languages; to identify the relevance of the controlled vocabularies and specific thesauri adopted in the black feminist literature and of the documentary languages available for use and besides proposing the insertion and updating of new languages and terminologies regarding black feminism and black women studies. The research opted for epistemological clipping based on the perspective of authors of social representation, postcolonial black feminism and information representation, the methodology of the monographic descriptive research employs the qualitative method of Yin’s case study and analysis of contente by Bardin. Regarding the analytical tools employed, Iramuteq's free analysis of textual data software was used by means of textual fragmentation, categorization of textual fragments based on concepts, providing reports and graphs of word counts and correlations using lexicometrics. The controlled vocabularies of the authority catalogs of the National Library of Brazil, Library of Congress, specific thesauri such as the vocabulary of Mujeres de Madrid and a controlled vocabulary developed by the Carlos Chagas Foundation for gender relations and women were used to verify the the existence of descriptors appropriate to the theme and approximate representation of the informational content. The results indicated that the representation of the information lacks the terminology closer to the perspective of black women in the context of feminism, that some terms were outdated and the need to update the instruments of representation, that is thesauri and controlled vocabularies used in the process of natural language translation for the controlled language and that contemplates specificities before the approach of the social paradigm acting under the perspective of the subjectivity of the subjects tied to historical, cultural and social contexts of the world. The final considerations remarked the need to update and insert more appropriate terms on the specifics of black feminism and/or black women studies.

The research comes from the prerogatives of extension projects and the informational circulation and reception process of individuals who are from communities in a state of social vulnerability, based on discussions regarding the subject 's otherness and affectivity. In order to ensure the development of the investigation, we have chosen, as an example, the Project entitled "My house, our lives: Building the Sustainable Territorial Development Plan Residential Bosque das Bromélias / Salvador - BA". Thus, the objective of this research was to analyze how the extension projects of the Federal University of Bahia interfere in the informational circulation and reception process of individuals who are from communities in a state of social vulnerability in the city of Salvador. The specific objectives sought to: (a) describe the social activities included in the analyzed project in order to comprehend the informational dynamics in the construction of the subject; (b) to profile the subjects assisted by the studied project to demonstrate how the information were processed and produced during the project, highlighting the Federal University of Bahia social responsibility, through the worked information ensemble and; (c) to characterize the information production and reception, in extensionist activities and the perceptions of the resident individuals in the habitational complex. The methodological procedures were based on the method of monographic procedure (case study/illustrative case), level of descriptive research, investigation techniques and instruments, emphasizing the direct observation and the interview script, as well as the field journal. We sought, in the results presentation and discussion, to contextualize the crisis of the public university in contemporary times, the direct consequences in the academic extension activities and in the academic researches. Considering what was analyzed, the results showed the importance of university extension as a tool that can direct subjects to be critical, reflective, creative, attentive to the dynamics of reality contributing to the struggle for social equality, citizenship and the continuity of democracy. In the final considerations, the research revealed that the university needs urgently to assume the social protagonist role, and face any threats related to extension activities; that Information Science can provide different perspectives concerning the informational circulation and reception of individuals linked to communities of vulnerability, thus fulfilling one of its social inclusion functions.

The thematic treatment of information carried out in university libraries aims to prepare the document for public access through systematic processes of analysis, synthesis and representation. This theme raised with the objective to investigate the difficulties that indexing librarians face during the process of thematic representation of theses and dissertations, from the use of controlled vocabulary adopted in the university library. As a methodological approach, we chose the descriptive research, whose field considered the selection of 36 brazilian universities that are part of the 2019 ranking, published by the British Higher Education Consultancy (The Times Higher Education), which lists the 1,100 best universities in the world. Among these, after defining criteria, the target population for application of the data collection instrument was represented by 28 brazilian federal and state public university libraries. As data collection technique, we used the electronic questionnaire, sent via institutional email to the indexing librarians. Of the 28 (100%) questionnaires applied, 19 (68%) answered and 9 (32%) did not comment. The results obtained revealed that in university libraries that have a regulated indexing policy and their own controlled vocabulary, the respondents' complaint that stands out is the difficulty in translating new subjects arising from scientific research, recorded in theses and dissertations. In libraries that do not have an indexing policy or their own controlled vocabulary, the difficulties reported by indexing librarians mainly refer to the absence of guidelines to guide the indexing process. However, the results showed that even in libraries that have their own controlled vocabulary, there are problems regarding the lack of specificity of new terms arising from scientific research. Similarly, in libraries that use controlled vocabulary built outside the terminological culture of scientific producers and researchers, indexers also reported difficulties with the use of inappropriate languages in the thematic representation of information.

ABSTRACT


The research of the bibliographic type, is explained in the search of an understanding for the variable about the information path under the vision of the preservation and the conservation of audiovisual documents in the context of a television station in Bahia, specifically the Edu- cative Television. from Bahia. As in the Brazilian television environment, the question of how to preserve long-term and continuous audiovisual documents is a phenomenon not yet consol- idated in the literature of the area and little investigated by Information Science, the purpose of this case study is to explore the actions and / or guidelines necessary for the preservation and / or conservation of the audiovisual documentation of Bahia's Educational Television making it available for future broadcasting. In this study, field research was carried out using observation to understand reality in relation to the preservation situation and conservation of TVE Bahia audiovisual documents. The information gathering procedure was carried out in two phases, during the survey of preservation and conservation conditions with the aid of a checklist and in the interviews carried out using a semi-structured questionnaire applied to the librarian and two staff members. of the information unit. The results obtained reported that, in the Bahia Educational Television, there is still no conservation and / or preservation plan for its already consolidated audiovisual documentation. The research also revealed that the ab- sence of satisfactory means of preservation and conservation throughout TVE Bahia's docu- mentary cycle may condemn the broadcaster's audiovisual legacy to oblivion and / or total disappearance. In this sense, the last chapter presented some viable guidelines to conserve and preserve it, aiming at improving and favoring access to documents, and contributing to the retrieval of the broadcaster's memory, in order to make it available for diffusion on the Inter- net. future.

A research retrieves an analysis of informational behavior of librarians who are not currently at the University System of Libraries of the Federal University of Bahia (SIBI / UFBA), seeking to present the sources of research used, as well as the criteria provided for or effective use. Gives information for or compliance with professional activities. Assim, a research part of the following question: How or informational behavior do two librarians of the University System of Interference Libraries serve us oriented to the users linked to the Federal University of Bahia? In this way, we objective to analyze or inform informational behavior of two library professors of the Federal University of Bahia. In a specific way, we seek to identify the sources and channels of information used under investigation, verify in what way the librarians are looking for information, and finally, disclose the criteria provided for the effective use of any information.We assume a qualitative nature approach as a condutor and to carry out research we use analysis of academic productions, information gathering about the university library system of UFBA and consequently two profissionais librarians that either compose and apply questions to library libraries context context scolhyde Let us discuss some theoretical discussions - conceituais about informational behavior, discussing about the needs and informational models and the models of informational behavior, we also discuss about the librarianship in information proficiency, reflected on their training, their potential education, their attentive education , we serve as references, and as sources of information and process of search and recovery of contents. As a result, we will perceive the importance of the professional library and its potential as a mediator of information, and more specifically as an educator, who can act on a critical and analytical approach to its attire, once again, its informative behavior is directly related to its fazer.

The theme of this work is the content analysis of Pedro Calmon's personal archive, through his correspondence between the years 1964 and 1966. Pedro Calmon, seen through his personal archive, impresses with the extent and quality of its content, standing out as a true heritage for the memory of Bahian and Brazilian culture. The general objective of the research was to understand how Pedro Calmon had his participation in the registered cultural, academic and political contexts. Regarding the specific objectives of this research, they included: a) collecting the correspondences of Pedro Calmon written between the years 1964 and 1966, filed at the Centro de Memória da Bahia, of the Pedro Calmon Foundation; b) to read critically the correspondences of Pedro Calmon between the years 1964 and 1966, from the materialities found; c) describe and present Pedro Calmon's correspondences, based on archival concepts and content analysis, aiming at their understanding, preservation and dissemination; and d) publicize and elucidate the role played by Pedro Calmon as an intellectual, academic and politician in the period from 1964 to 1966. To build a transdisciplinary discussion, we used the rhizome metaphor as logic so that we would not commit a process of hierarchization of the different areas knowledge used in research. Regarding the classification of the research, it can be identified as bibliographic and documentary, and content analysis was used as a method, which consists of a set of communication analysis techniques that aims to obtain, by systematic and objective procedures of content description messages, indicators (quantitative or not) that allow the inference of knowledge related to the production / reception conditions (inferred variables) of these messages. Research has shown that a personal file, and more specifically its correspondence, reveals the behavior, contradictions and networks of sociability of the holder of the file. As main results it was possible: to recognize the roles played by Pedro Calmon as an intellectual; unveil their sociability networks by relating the subjects, positions and genders with whom they dialogued; what main objectives of your dialogues; and their roles played in culture, academia and politics in Bahia, Brazil and internationally.

This thesis deals with the development of Infocomunicational competences, analyzed from the Internet, in relation to ICT development indicators in Brazil and Colombia, in a comparison process, in which ICTs are related to indicators of information and communication skills. For the above, we study how these competences are developed over a period of time, with the ICT results of each country. The indicatorsreported by Brazil and Colombia are taken in their annual ICT reports, together with the directives of UNESCO, to generate a comparative matrix that allows to understand the evolution by country, with its similarities or differences, using the Kmeans algorithm, used in machine learning, to generate behavior graphs, for a specific group of ICT variables associated with competencies. Additionally, the thesis shows how the regulations influenced the periods analyzed, and their effects for the competences. In addition to identifying the moments where variants were presented, crossing political and normative periods, in order to understand the phenomenon from a more general perspective, in order to have a basis to make the comparison proposed from the beginning. In the process it is possible to approximate the UNESCO guidelines to ICT indicators, although in the comparison and analysis significant differences are identified in the form and in the variables that each country uses in its process of monitoring the evolution of the Internet, which affects the way in which competences are analyzed. In the end, a comparison is made, and moments of variation of the indicators are determined in relation to the competences, on the other hand in the process it is understood that there are other elements that should be considered in thesis projects of this type, mainly in relation with the source of data and times, because we speak of countries, not of closed groups, as well as of the process of data processing. In this treatment process machine learning techniques were used, used in other areas such as computing, and which were interesting for the purification process and subsequent construction of comparative graphs, being a new technique for this type of work, since it allows to sustain the validity or not of the data, as well as its possible flaws. The comparative process is divided into an independent review of each country, and an approach from ICT indicators to competencies, ending with a comparison of common indicators between the two countries, which incorporates periods of government, together with regulations, continuing with a revision to Through a cloud of words of the resolutions or laws that were contemplated in this work and that are considered related to the development of Internet in each country.

ABSTRACT: This thesis aimed to analyze the scientific production of researchers in Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTD) in Brazil and their convergence with the National Health Plan of Brazil (PNS) (2016 to 2019). The production analysis period was 2015, the year of preparation of the PNS, and 2018, the last year of closed production of teachers. Partial data from 2019 were obtained aiming to prospect elements of the near future of the field. To achieve the overall objective, the following specific objectives were set: to recognize the challenges in NTDs in Brazil in institutional documents and information sources, such as the PNS; identify researchers, research institutes and graduate programs (PPGs) dedicated to the field of NTDs in Brazil; map the knowledge production of researchers involved with NTDs from data stored in the CNPq Lattes Platform; draw an overview of the scientific production selected from scientific indicators: networks, production and themes; to verify if the themes of Brazilian NTD publications are aligned with the challenges recognized by the institutional sources, especially the PNS. From the methodological point of view, the research is of a scientific nature, based on the foundations of dialectical materialism and domain analysis. The research trail consisted of the following steps: 1) Data collection, the universe was identified, composed of 2719 researchers linked to PPGs from Medicine II and National Institutes of Science & Technology (INCTs), both having links with NTDs, and Fiocruz doctor servers. With this, data were extracted using the ScriptLattes tool; 2) Organization and treatment of information, representative terms were elaborated based on the Health Sciences Descriptors System of the Virtual Health Library and bibliometric processing; 3) Verification of the convergence of scientific production with social needs in NTDs; 4) Analysis of Qualis and of scientific journals; and 5) Data representation from statistical and visualization techniques. As main results it was possible to: reinforce the prominent role of Fiocruz, PPGs and INCTs, mapping their researchers and verifying aspects of scientific production, such as productivity, collaboration and themes worked; perceive a tendency towards stabilization in the large production of journal articles, to verify the decrease in book production and the decrease in the papers presented in congresses, as a result of the policies of scientific evaluation and regulation, also related to the reduction of investments in Education and Science; identify the high degree of collaboration presented by the group; note the leading role, collaborativity and high productivity of CNPq productivity fellows. Concerning the convergences, a strong alignment was observed between some NTDs studied by the researchers and the PNS, mainly: leishmaniasis, Chagas disease, dengue, leprosy, schistosomiasis and Chikungunya fever. Other problems were discussed only in scientific production, revealing the greater capillarity and coverage capacity of the scientific segment, for example: snake bite, helminthiasis, lymphatic filariasis, among other diseases. In this section, it was also possible to map a set of ultra-neglected diseases, which are little treated in the scientific environment and disregarded in the main policies.

This study presents the contribution of Information Science to the elaboration of scientific and technological information prospecting studies, aiming at supporting decision making, considering that its content cont ributes significantly to the construction and analysis of scientific and technological indicators of quality and quality reliability over technological development, which enables researchers and decision makers to gain insight into the state of the art of protected technologies and their potential for innovation. Professionals from different areas perform these studies and few are the information professionals directly involved in their performance, being limited to the provision of bibliographic references , resulting from searches in specialized databases and databases. The objective of this paper is to analyze the effective contribution of the Information Science field to the technological prospection activity, using methods and techniques of search and re trieval of scientific and technological information, focused on the development of Science, Technology and Innovation. The methodological strategy used is based on the assumptions of Information Science and the research typology is classified as a document ary research, in a combined approach of qualitative and quantitative nature, considered adequate to achieve the objectives set. Still regarding its nature, it is an applied research, with the objective of generating knowledge to solve specific problems in the technological areas of three SENAI Innovation Institutes (ISI), implemented at the Integrated Center for Manufacturing and Technology (SENAI CIMATEC), which were defined as the population universe. For the selection of the areas of knowledge, we used a s sampling those evaluated by the Greater Brazil Plan (PBM) and the National Program of Knowledge Platforms (PNPC) focusing on the areas of expertise of ISI / SENAI CIMATEC. The results prove that the Information Science contributes in this theme, through the metric studies of the information that demonstrate potentialities for the construction and analysis of scientific and technological indicators of quality and reliability. It also presents the need for information professionals to acquire new skills and abilities in the search, retrieval, compatibility, analysis and selective dissemination of technological information, which may support decision making in the organizational context in strategic management and in research, development and research projects innovation. This study contributed to the epistemological consolidation of Information Science, wishing to expand its field of action through a complementary approach and emphasizes the need to update the skills of the information professional, valuing h is activity as a fundamental mediator in the dynamics of technological prospecting studies with value -added information.

The research aimed to analyze the training of higher education teachers who graduated from the Brazilian Graduate Programs in Information Science (PPGCI), investigating the contributions of stricto sensu courses in CI in Brazil to the didactic and pedagogical training of teachers in higher education. To achieve this aim, the programs, disciplines and / or activities that contribute to higher education teacher training were mapped, identifying those related to didactic and pedagogical activities in the classroom. In addition, there was an understanding of the teachers who graduated from these programs on the relevance of this training in the perspective of the knowledge and practices of teaching learned during the course at the PPGCI. The research was characterized as applied, whose predominant approach was the qualitative and the descriptive level, due to the nature of the object. From the universe surveyed, the professors who graduated from the Brazilian PPGCIs analyzed participated and as a source of data collection, the curricular matrices of the courses and their respective menus, the participants' lattes curriculum and information from the questionnaire applied to the teachers were used. To analyze the data, three thematic categories were created: Characterization of the participants, Teacher training in the Postgraduate Programs in Information Science and University teaching, in order to facilitate the interpretation and discussion of the results. The results showed that there are still gaps in the training process of teachers in the PPGCI, since the contents to qualify the teachers of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) are ineffective, considering that the contents on didactic and pedagogical knowledge of the analyzed subjects are approached superficially. It was found that the training / teaching internship is one of the few possibilities for bringing graduate students closer to the teaching practices in the classroom, however, in most programs this component is found in the framework of optional subjects and / or activities, with the exception of a few isolated cases. The research demonstrated the need for studies that seek to expand the possibilities of Information Science to strengthen the field of action of the HEI teacher in stricto sensu graduate programs and to encourage public actions and / or policies for this purpose, with the aim of creating a culture that implies the continuous exercise of thinking about the practices of these professionals. In view of the results, it is recommended that the PPGCI promote discussions on the theme addressed, in order to expand the scope and valuation of this training, legitimized by the institutions responsible for implementing policies aimed at this purpose. Thus, it is necessary that the PPGCI understand their responsibility to provide graduates with a solid theoretical-practical training, considering teaching as a social action and a multifaceted process that requires specific knowledge, in addition to those related to experience, content, general knowledge, among others. It is necessary that public educational policies, by means of legal instruments, enforce the determinations imposed and / or create specific legislation for the training of high school teachers, in order to expand the knowledge inherent to the profession.

The present work discusses the study of the access to the information contained in a database
denominated WEBSISMEDICOS, the product of Professor Zeny Duarte's postdoctoral studies
in collaboration with Professor Armando Malheiro. The function of the system is to provide
information regarding the storage of data not only related to the profession, but also about life,
work, thought, personal archives (cultural and artistic productions) and memories of doctors
from Portugal and Brazil going far beyond of medicine. In Brazil, beginning in Bahia and, later,
extending the capture of information to the doctors of the Community of Portuguese Speaking
Countries (CPLP). The model follows the Mediawiki collaborative platform as an open space
for data entry by the doctors themselves and by people interested in updating it. We present
conceptual approaches on personal archives (particular documentary collections), information,
digital technology, post-custodial paradigm, interdisciplinarity, web platform, collaborative
platforms, information architecture, Wikimedia. The WEBSISMEDICOS demonstrated in
Mediawiki, accompanies theoretical and conceptual understanding of what is expected of a
collaborative platform. We introduce the new interface of WEBSISMEDICOS on Mediawiki,
with the database converted to MYSQL using PHP and HTML. The methodology adopted was
the literature review and application of experimental procedures. We highlight the filling of
new data and the inclusion of medical doctors with the use of a new interface. In the current
stage of this research, two barriers have been overcome: one that refers to the geographic
limitation surpassed by the Internet; and the other that allows user action in a collaborative way,
in this case, medical doctors and related people, expanding the quantitative proposition of filling
the information system of medical doctors and their reliability. The access to information
through the Internet, the tool with the greatest reach available for this study, was positive
because we found a quantitative proposal of updating the WEBSISMEDICOS, with unlimited
power of data and accesses able to surpass the technological transpositions of this network
society

This dissertation has as its central theme the promotion of infocommunication skills, so that people can deal with two of the great inputs - information and communication - of today's society. Its general objective is to identify the elements necessary to promote infocommunication skills among high school students. The specific objectives are to analyze the standards, programs and models of training in infocommunicational competences existing in Brazil and promoted by supranational institutions; develop a model for the promotion of infocommunication competences aimed at high school students; and to experiment with the model of promoting infocommunication skills with high school students. Therefore, there is a qualitative research of an applied nature. To reach the objectives, a bibliographical, documentary research was carried out, as well as the experimentation of the elaborated teaching model. The experience was composed of three distinct moments: search and analysis of similar experiences; development of a competency promotion model; and application of the model with students of the last stage of basic education. Fourteen documents were retrieved and in order to analyze them, the parameters of the categories of infocommunication competences elaborated by Borges (2018) were used. With the necessary factors for the elaboration of a model of teaching in infocomunicacionales competences, it was realized, through the platform Moodle, its experimentation with 23 students of two schools, being one public and another private, of the city of Salvador. For this stage of the work, we used the research and research methodology known as Design-Based Research (DBR), named in Brazil as a research-development or research-application. With experience, it is considered as substantial the promotion of more practical actions so that the competences are better developed and improved and it is desired to adapt and improve the applicability of the contents of the course according to the reality of the participating groups, as well as the way in which educational institutions could implement it in their pedagogical curriculum. 

This research deals with the creation of basic and complementary bibliographies of UFBA undergraduate courses, the university library and the teaching staff, in the light of CONAES standards. The objective of this study is to evaluate the behavior of the teacher, based on: the selection criteria adopted for the construction of bibliographies; difficulties in the use of information sources; of information about which sources he uses for his didactic-pedagogical update; Besides, it is intended to find out what obstacles he encounters in order to pass information to the library. The research was carried out, from a theoretical point of view, based on a review of the literature and government standards in the area of higher education. The inductive method was used for the methodological approach. As for the objectives, the adopted method has an exploratory character, since it sought to learn about a phenomenon, which is still obscure, occurred within the university. It presents a qualitative and quantitative nature since it will use the professor's responses as well as statistical data about this population. The population was constituted by the professors who teach the compulsory subjects in the first and second semesters of the UFBA's newest and oldest undergraduate courses, attended by university libraries, selected for their representativeness of the number of courses per area of knowledge within the University. The subjects intends to meet the specific objectives of the research, which determines the flow of information regarding the indication and acquisition of the basic and complementary bibliographies of the courses. Thus, this study sought to bring to light the organizational resources, which are unknown, or even disregarded, by individuals involved with the context of the libraries, courses and university. The data analysis, compared to the reality known and experienced by UFBA university libraries, revealed the lack of knowledge of some professors about the flow and the instruments of academic planning, which hinders the course of information, as well as the conceptual understanding about basic and complementary. Regarding the information sources, the professors began to consult them via the network, not following the quality criteria that the library adopts, according to what the Policy of Formation and Development of Collections is established. According to the results, the professors pointed out difficulties in passing information about both basic and complementary bibliographies to the library of their unit. It showed the incommunicability of the library with them, harming the information-student interaction, as well as impairing the evaluation in locus of the library indicators, carried out by INEP. It is hoped that this study contributes by proposing innovative solutions and guidelines in the communication with professors, with their process of construction of the subject bibliographies and for the development of collections policy in university libraries.

ABSTRACT


The research analyzed the representation of information in two newspapers, with the greatest number of movements within the city of Salvador - Bahia, Afternoon and Mail, during the year 2015, and how they present the issue of violence against young blacks. The work permeated several disciplines, contributing to the discussion and understanding of the multidisciplinary theme and a better understanding of social representations and violence against young blacks in society. A bias was constructed to analyze the effects of the messages presented in the language and print formats printed in the newspapers to the consumers of these communication and information vehicles through the analysis of content presented in categories represented in timeline. The analysis of the study of reception and mass communication was prioritized; the interest of cultural studies in human activity; on the space that occurs the mediation, that is, the society, besides turning the attention to the historical process of the marginalization and racial discrimination; the influence of the media in social representations, bringing to light the relationship between journalism, media and crime. The objective of this research was to investigate the representation of messages presented by vehicles through language and printed images. As a result, it is pointed out that information when accessed and / or used it reiterates, structures and / or modifies values and beliefs, that is, it shows the relationship established between people and information. In this way, the theoretical contribution of Information Science in relation to social representation is dependent on the Social Sciences, because this is an area that remains flat, with regard to criticism and analysis of representations. The representation of information does not always translate through concepts, the meanings that come from the information registered by its authors.

The study is about information needs that are directed to the improvement of production, access and use of information by the Quilombola Communities, reminiscent Quilombola groups that are recently recognized by the Brazilian State. The main objective is to analyze the information needs of the Quilombola Communities directed to the optimization of production, access and use of information by the Quilombola women. Specifically, it is intended to characterize the socioeconomic profile of these women, identifying how they access and use information, as well as to map the necessary information to promote improvements in the mentioned community, and to investigate the effectiveness of the public policies directed to the attendance of their information needs. With this research, it is sought a more amplified comprehension about the identity needs of these Communities. It is a descriptive research with quantitative and qualitative approach, based on Ethnography, which determined as data collection instruments the following elements: semi structured interviews, direct and participant observation, field diary and the informant record for data collection. The data were interpreted in the light of Content Analysis. The empirical field selected for the research is the Quilombola Community of Itamatatiua, in the municipality of Alcântara, State of Maranhão. This Community is composed by 452 people. The investigated sample was composed by 45 dwellers, that is, 10% of the totality. From these ones, 77.8% are women and 22.2% are men. The data were organized in three categories: profile of interviewees, sources and information needs. The results evidence that most of the participants are from the feminine sex, adults, with low or no one schooling, income dependent of governmental programs and, in general, lower than one third of a minimum wage. Orality is the option of all the interviewees as a source for the obtainment of information, followed by television (35) and only seven interviewees mentioned the formal sources (dictionaries, books, handouts and magazines). The information needs that are mapped include themes about health, education, labor, habitation, which are linked to the roles performed by each individual. It is perceived, in the context of analysis of these needs, a fertile space to help in the fortification of the traditional practices of these groups that are transmitted through orality and to become them more conscious about their culture and the place they occupy in the world. It is concluded that the investigated women are information users and their information interests need to be attended, respecting the oral tradition, not only by means of workshops and cultural actions, but also offering possibilities of accessing differentiate information resources, which potentiate their social protagonism, permitting them by themselves the conquer of rights that have been usurped by an exclusionary and discriminatory social structure. This way, it is unleashed the opening of science to society

It will be presented research based on elements supported by theoretical approaches, making it possible to realize potential interactions between information management models and internal controls. The controls of public institutions, including federal universities, in order to be efficient require information. In many cases, the controls analysis is more focused on their structure rather than on the information that the user needs, searches and uses to perform internal control activities. In this context, this research aimed to analyze the information management of internal controls of the federal universities of the northeastern Brazil. The specific objectives corresponded to three aspects.The first one presents the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) referential as a model adopted by control bodies in Brazil, and to discuss the reasons for having its focus on control.The second presents the Choo model as a new concept that can be adopted by control bodies in Brazil and to discuss how this model can contribute so that the focus on control can be modified to the focus on the information management of structure’s control.The third proposes an analysis of information management of internal controls from the meeting of characteristics of the Choo model, with the assumptions proposed by the Federal Audit Court (TCU) regarding the internal control structure based on the COSO model.The methodological approach was based on the method of approach (hypothetical-deductive) and method of procedure (survey). The research is characterized as a descriptive study. The data collection instrument was the form, which gathered data of the internal controls structure’ functioning present in management reports of the federal universities of the northeastern Brazil, in 2014. The analysis model, or theoretical scheme, was performed by the interaction of the internal control framework model, from the COSO framework, with the information management model proposed by Choo. In the obtained results, it was observed that, in the majority of the researched universities, the operation of information management of the internal controls is partially efficient.Finally, it is expected to contribute to the development of actions related to the identification and analysis of groups of information users, and that informational research to better reflect on the complexity of the environment, to present efficiency and effectiveness to the methods used in the organization of information, aiming at recovery and access which provide answers to the demands of the user and destination of the information in the appropriate format and to the right person.Therefore, it is necessary to reflect on the relevant extension of the information specialist’s presence in decision-making processes.

The librarian and his insertion in the labor market through public tenders constitute the theme of this dissertation, whose purpose was to investigate if the vacancies in public competitions for librarians have been increasing or decreasing in recent years in Brazilian public institutions. In order to link this research, the general objective was to identify and analyze the existence of labor market expansion for librarians in public institutions in Brazil. Specifically, it was sought to raise public bids for librarians in recent years; To identify the offer of public tenders by spheres of power and typologies of public institutions; To verify the specialized knowledge in Librarianship that have been demanded in these competitions, through the documentary study, where the universe is defined by the examination of the edicts and competitions tests, in the federal, state and municipal spheres defined by the criterion of accessibility (tests and edicts Available on the Internet) and the literature review to support the research, addressing topics related to the labor market in general lines and in the public service, with a focus on the librarian, ways of joining these institutions, as well as the professional training of graduates in librarianship . As a result of these observations, the labor market for librarians expanded in the context of public tenders. It is concluded, therefore, that in general, librarians seek to enter into public performance, in search of professional growth and stability.
