  • A Linguística Documentária e a Diplomática têm como objeto de estudo o documento, sendo que a primeira desenvolve suas análises e aplicações do ponto de vista da Estrutura da Documentação e a segunda por meio dos Elementos Formais do Documento conforme a organicidade. Percebe-se, assim, a peculiaridade entre os dois métodos de investigação e uma possível inter-relação entre ambas, como método de tratamento da informação. Desta forma, esta pesquisa se constitui a partir de estudos em torno da Linguística Documentária por meio da Estrutura da Documentação e dos Elementos Diplomáticos do Documento de arquivo. Neste sentido, a pesquisa apresenta como problema que visa responder como a Linguística Documentária e os Elementos Diplomáticos do Documento por meio de seus métodos e procedimentos podem ser utilizados para sistematizar a modelagem de indexação de metadados? E como Objetivo Geral: Analisar como a Linguística Documentária e os Elementos Diplomáticos do Documento podem ser compreendidos como procedimentos metodológicos que auxiliem a modelagem de indexação de metadados, tendo como base a modelagem de sistemas de informação. Os objetivos específicos consistem em: a) Compreender a estrutura do documento apresentada pela linguística documentária referente à sua produção/elaboração; b) Identificar qual ou quais, elementos formais do documento pode ser utilizado como requisito à indexação; c) analisar qual a interface entre a linguística documentária e os elementos diplomáticos do documento; d) Prospectar a modelagem de indexação de metadados de documentos. O método utilizado na pesquisa compreende um estudo descritivo com aplicação de um estudo de caso, cujos procedimentos para a coleta de dados consistiu inicialmente em um levantamento bibliográfico por meio da utilização de termos-chave: “Linguística Documentária”, “Linguagem Documentária”, “Diplomática”, “Indexação”, “Representação da Informação”, “Análise de Requisitos” e “Modelagem de Sistemas” em bases de dados de revistas e periódicos científicos; por conseguinte foram realizadas entrevistas com servidores lotados na secretaria escolar da Escola Estadual de Ensino Médio Deodoro de Mendonça, tendo como aporte um roteiro guiado, a elaboração de relatório de observação realizado no portal oficial da Secretaria de Estado de Educação do Pará, tendo como aporte um formulário sistemático, além do uso da análise comparativa dos dados coletados durante a entrevista e por meio do relatório de observação no portal. Com isto, esta pesquisa se justifica por discutir a utilização da Linguística Documentária como um método de contribuição para a padronização da representação da informação a partir da produção e elaboração do documento de arquivo e da Diplomática por meio dos elementos formais do documento fazendo-se uso destes para prospectar a modelagem de um instrumento de indexação que norteie os profissionais da informação sobre quais pontos de acesso são necessários a sua representação. Assim, como resultado, foi possível prospectar a modelagem de indexação de metadados de documentos com a diagramação dos elementos formais internos dos documentos necessários à indexação de forma padronizada a partir da inter-relação existente entre a estrutura da documentação apresentada pela Linguística Documentária e os elementos internos do documento apresentados pelo Modelo Ideal de Análise Diplomática. Conclui-se que na prospectiva de indexação apresentada, os pontos de acesso que devem ser indexados do documento são apresentados de forma diagramada e não apenas as etapas que o usuário precisa seguir para identificar o que deve ou não representar do documento.

  • O objetivo dessa dissertação foi analisar o acervo digital do Centro de Documentação
    e Pesquisa Indígena (CDPI), disponível no website da Comissão Pró Indígenas do
    Acre (CPI/Acre), a partir da Organização da Informação. A delimitação do tema está
    pautada na necessidade de discutir as formas de organização e representação da
    informação a respeito da temática indígena e, assim, poder contribuir com estudos
    decoloniais no campo da Ciência da Informação (CI). O interesse pelo tema surgiu por
    compreender a relevância da discussão da temática no campo teórico-metodológico
    e interdisciplinar da CI. Ressalto ainda que tal interesse advém das minhas raízes
    ancestrais, pois vivi parte da minha infância e juventude em Sítio Novo, Maranhão,
    ladeada pelas terras indígenas do povo Krikatí. Além disso, o contato profissional com
    os povos indígenas despertou em mim o desejo de estudar a temática, visto que
    trabalho com projetos voltados a esses povos. Assim, o problema de pesquisa está
    estruturado a partir da seguinte questão: como ocorre a organização e representação
    da informação no acervo digital do CDPI, disponível no website da CPI/Acre? A
    metodologia adotada foi de natureza qualitativa, descritiva exploratória. Foi
    identificada a produção de conhecimento científico referente à organização e
    representação da informação indígena e decolonialidade, na Base de Dados em
    Ciência da Informação (BRAPCI), o período de intervalo das publicações (delimitado
    de 2003 a 2023), utilizando os termos em português. O método foi a Revisão
    Sistemática de Literatura (RSL) e Análise Documental (AD). Na Análise Documental
    feita por meio da fase analítica me permitiu, usar a leitura técnica para identificar os
    pontos principais do documento. A organização da análise foi realizada da seguinte
    forma: identificação de documentos disponíveis no acervo digital do CDPI,
    identificação das categorias documentais disponíveis, seleção e organização das
    categorias documentais para análise. Resultados: na RSL, apesar da BRAPCI ser
    uma base de referência para estudos na área da CI, apresentou-se como uma
    limitação ao presente estudo, pelo número restrito de fontes de informação e falhas
    no preenchimento dos campos, gerando incompletudes nos registros, e duplicidade
    nos resultados, apresentando viés na identificação da produção de conhecimento
    científico referente à temática desta dissertação. Concluo que a originalidade e
    expressividade estética das publicações editadas pela CPI/Acre representa uma
    experiência significativa na construção de uma perspectiva decolonial de organização
    do conhecimento, em particular dos saberes produzidos e transmitidos pelas
    comunidades indígenas amazônicas acreanas. Os processos técnicos responsáveis
    por analisar, representar e possibilitar a recuperação das informações ainda não
    contemplam as singularidades de formas de registro informacional distintas das
    formas conhecidas e reconhecidas no campo científico ocidental. Observo que na
    produção científica em geral, e na CI, em particular, há diversos desafios a serem
    superados no sentido de construir uma ciência mais plural e dialógica, aberta a outras
    possibilidades de elaboração, registro e transmissão de saberes. Além de contribuir
    com essa reflexão, espero que este estudo sirva de inspiração para novas pesquisas
    sobre as lacunas, contradições e assimetrias envolvendo esse processo.

  • The Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, based in Belém do Pará, presents important collections to understand Brazilian narratives and identities. This research seeks to analyze the musealization process of the Emília Snethlage teaching collection at the Goeldi Museum, focusing on the ethnographic collection. This is a descriptive and bibliographical research. The methodological procedures are configured in: selection of bibliographies related to the collection, the ethnographic object, the information, the document, the museological documentation and the musealization, technical visits to the collection, interview and analysis of the book “Indigenous Artifacts”. It was concluded that the Emília Snethlage teaching collection is a unique space for the museum, in addition, it presents the phases of the musealization process, considering its particularities, in the Anthropology collection, specifically, ethnographic objects. It is hoped that the reflections carried out can contribute to debates on the topic and the importance of a didactic collection in one of the country's pioneering museum institutions. Through the lenses of Information Science and Museology, we aimed to discuss this collection, whose name is a tribute to ornithologist Emília Snethlage, the first woman to manage a scientific institution in Brazil and South America.

  • DOCUMENTAL ANALYSIS MODEL IN COMIC MAGAZINES FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF DISCOURSE ANALYSIS: A study on Mauricio de Souza's comics

  • Data: 26/03/2024

  • The dissertation focuses on finding a way to represent the singularities of the text
    fictional narrative of the comic book genre (comics) in the context of the organization of
    information. The scenario found consists of the superficial treatment given to comics in
    moment of documentary analysis, and this implies representations only centered on their
    form, but without explaining its content (subject). Souza and Toutain (2010) point out two
    problems that corroborate the fact that this representation does not occur completely, being
    them: 1- The lack of documentary languages (fundamental to assist the professional in
    moment of indexing); 2- the uniqueness of this type of material is composed of language
    verbal (text) and non-verbal (images) ends up making it difficult to process and organize
    part of the professional not familiar with the singularities of this type of material. This
    Thus, the main objective of the research was to develop a reading model aimed at
    for identifying the content (subject) in comics, and for this making use of the analysis of the
    literary discourse (ADL) as a perspective for documentary analysis and reading. The use of
    ADL for this research is justified, as it proved to be a viable methodology for the
    document analysis with regard to identifying subject terms for analysis and
    thematic representation of information from works of fiction in the short story genre, as
    observed in the research carried out by Lima (2021) and Caprioli (2022), thus
    It is believed that this perspective is also applicable to the comic book genre. The object of study
    of this work were the comics of Turma da Mônica by Mauricio de Sousa entitled:
    HQ Turma da Mônica changing the world (2012) and HQ Turma da Mônica we understand each other
    (2008), the works of this author were chosen due to their social and historical relevance. To the
    works by the aforementioned author were chosen because they are the most successful Brazilian comics, both
    nationally and internationally. The development of this reading model had
    The purpose is to assist professionals in removing terms for indexing
    of works in the comic book genre, mainly in libraries or any
    other institutions that hold these materials in their collections, and this perspective is
    proved viable due to the number of themes found through its application in
    analyzed comics.

  • Against a backdrop of intense information flow and technological development, information competence has become crucial in the school environment for accessing, retrieving and using information efficiently, effectively and ethically, and it is also the school's responsibility to promote and develop this competence. Thus, in an attempt to identify these skills and how they are set out in national educational legislation, the following research question is posed. How can Information Competence be demonstrated in the Pedagogical Projects of the Environmental Technical Courses (TMA-I) at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Pará (IFPA)? The general objective is to recognize information competence in the Pedagogical Projects of the Integrated Environmental Technical Courses of the IFPA (CTMA-I/ IFPA). Based on the following specific objectives: to connect the theory of Information Competence with the role of libraries in education; to structure a checklist with elements of information competence for secondary education; to identify in the objectives of the CTMA PPC the necessary skills that students need to develop and relate them to information competence; to present the interfaces of CoInfo to the objectives of the TMA PPC; to verify in the pedagogical strategies of these documents, skills focused on the search, selection, organization, evaluation and use of information. Methodologically, the research is descriptive, with a basic qualitative approach. Its object of study is the PPCs of the IFPA Integrated Technical Courses in the Environment, with the aim of investigating information competence in these PPCs, as well as their implications in library contexts, based on the following methodological procedures: bibliographic and documentary research. The bibliographic study made it possible to understand the historical relationship between Information Competence in the context of libraries and in the educational context, and it was also possible to generate a CoInfo Checklist for checking the CPPs. In the documentary study, the CoInfo skills were identified based on the checklist in the objectives described in the PPCs, then a field of skills was generated around the Information Competence Standards for the TMA-IFPA Course, and the pedagogical strategies focused on the search, selection, organization, evaluation and use of information were verified in the PPCs. Regarding the interface resulting from the CoInfo proposed in the training of these professionals, it was possible to detect that the largest field was generated around the pattern "Use" information, followed by the pattern "participate effectively in groups to search for and generate information" and then the pattern "evaluate".  In "pedagogical strategies", the frequency of words related to the search, selection, organization, evaluation and use of information was calculated, showing that "Use" and "Evaluation" are skills that stand out, determining an alignment between the professional profile and the activities proposed to students.

  • Given the growing use of Information and Communication Technologies and the availability of the Internet, there is a growth in online services, such as Online Social Network Services. These services are places that encourage discussions and the flow of information beyond traditional means. Like everything used by a large part of society, these services are known by various terms, ranging from simply Network to Online Social Network. Therefore, it is paramount to establish a concept proposal of what is a Social Network, especially to Information Science, as it investigates information phenomena, including these services. In this sense, the research problem is based on the gap in research that seeks to systematize a theoretical framework on certain important concepts so that researchers understand the worldview of an area of knowledge about a phenomenon without due reflection. The objective was to establish a portfolio of proposed concepts and characteristics related to Social Networks by mapping scientific communications and their understanding of this topic. The specific objectives were to map scientific communications that have in their documentary corpus the use of the terms Social Network or Social Networks, to identify and select scientific communications that deal with theoretical proposals on the research topic, to understand the conceptualizations about Social Network and other terms identified in scientific communications, and to present a portfolio with proposed concepts for Social Networks and other terms, based on the results of the investigation. The research universe was the scientific communications in the areas of knowledge of Applied Social Sciences and Exact and Earth Sciences on Social Networks. As a sample, the research was limited to analyzing scientific communications available on the Scientific Electronic Library Online, with eligibility criteria described in the introduction. The research is justified as services are increasingly included in the daily life of society, which have changed the way people consume and share information, as well as the way organizations communicate with their audiences. Along with the popularization of mobile devices, it has provided an increase in the number of people using these services, as they allow access anywhere, with certain ease of use, media sharing, and streaming possibilities, among other resources. On the other hand, primary and secondary information sources use a set of concepts that are often referred to as synonyms for Online Social Networks, such as Social Networks or Social Media. Even if a universal consensus is not sought, it is important to define their meaning and the characteristics that differentiate them from other existing forms of communication, as they are important sources of data for analysis and studies in various areas. It was a research with a qualitative approach, of a basic nature, being a descriptive research that aimed to characterize a certain phenomenon, with a bibliographical research procedure, divided into four stages: definition of strategies and selection of scientific communications, data collection, categorization of scientific communications, an systematization of identified results and construction of a portfolio with concept proposals. It applied the Analytical-Conceptual Method for the construction of the portfolio, as well as the proposed concepts. It applied the Critical Theory perspective to epistemological issues. As a result, it analyzed a total of 138 scientific communications, divided into six categories: Evaluation, Use, Ethics, Politics, Theory, and Development, ordered from highest to lowest in classification occurrence. Twenty-two Verbal Forms were identified, 686 descriptive elements - which gave rise to 64 characteristics - and 58 services were identified - which were used as referents. In the concept proposals, greater complexity is identified in some Verbal Forms to the detriment of others, highlighting the concepts of Social Media, Social Networks, Digital Social Networks, Online Social Networks, and Virtual Social Networks. The application of the Analytical-Conceptual Method made it possible to determine symmetries and asymmetries between these concepts. Concepts peripheral to the context were verified: Media, Digital Alternative Media, Industrial Media, Digital Social Media, Platform, Social Network Platform, Digital Platform, Online Platform, Network, Digital Network, Business Social Network, Formal Social Network, Intra-organizational Social Network, One-mode Social Network, Transactional Social Network, Two-mode Social Network and Organizational Virtual Social Network. The most detailed Verbal Form is Social Network, being a central part of the research, corroborating the fulfillment of the research objective. In the end, the limitations of the research were demonstrated, as well as directions for future research.

  • Study of information management as an important tool to improve efficiency, transparency and decision-making in the urban solid waste sector in the state of Pará. To this end, the general objective is to analyze the management of urban solid waste information in the state of Pará. Pará, and as specific objectives: describe how the process of information management and urban solid waste management occurs; identify information systems that provide data on urban solid waste for the State of Pará; analyze the information made available on the topic of urban solid waste to assist the sector's decision-making in the state of Pará. The research is exploratory, bibliographic and documentary in nature, and is a case study of the urban solid waste sector in the state of Pará. Pará, from information systems that provide solid waste data. In the analysis, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats of the information available in information systems on solid waste were identified, in order to observe whether they can support decision-making for the sector in Pará. As a result, it was inferred that with the information on waste presented in the information systems, it is possible to partially understand the current situation of the urban solid waste sector in the state of Pará, as better management of information on urban solid waste in Pará is necessary, including updated information from all municipalities, in order to avoid making decisions that are not accurate or correct. It was then concluded that the strategic relevance of information is evident in an administration that seeks to operate with transparency and accessibility. This also applies to solid waste management, where municipalities have a responsibility not only to manage their municipal waste, but also to make this data available for public access. To establish effective solid waste management across the State, it is essential to promote a collaborative approach. This allows you to obtain an accurate understanding of the current situation in the environment, facilitating the formulation of strategies with less margin for error.

  • The indexing policy is an essential document capable of improving and guiding the indexer in the indexing process, making it possible to achieve quality indexing and promoting more appropriate decision-making on the part of the indexer. Considering that the indexing policy serves as a guide for the indexer, it is proposed to carry out an investigation into the use of instruments used by indexers in the indexing process, through the application of a questionnaire, interview and analysis of documents used in the indexing of documents in the public libraries of the State System of Public Libraries of the State of Pará - SEBP-Pa. The justification for the research is the theoretical and practical contribution to the area of knowledge organization, by investigating the implementation of indexing policies in public libraries in the SEBP-Pa. Its general objective was to analyze the implementation of indexing policies in SEBP-Pa public libraries, taking into account the practical experience of the indexers who index documents in these institutions. The specific objectives were: a) Carrying out a theoretical survey on Knowledge Organization, Indexing and Indexing Policy, identifying their characteristics, elements, procedures and use; b) Identifying the indexing policies and manuals used in the public libraries of the SEBP-Pa, examining the procedures adopted in the indexing process, by means of a questionnaire, interview and document analysis; c) Outlining and comparing the panorama of indexing policies and manuals in the public libraries of the SEBP-Pa. The methodological procedures used in this research include bibliographical research, documentary research and empirical research, characterizing it as a case study, as well as having a qualitative data analysis approach. The questionnaire was applied to 40 libraries and the semi-structured interview to 15 SEBP-Pa subjects. For data analysis, categories and subcategories were used as a categorization technique to facilitate data interpretation. The results showed that there are significant gaps in the practice of indexing and in the services offered to users, as well as the absence of an indexing policy in libraries, capable of establishing well-defined guidelines and making a significant contribution to quality and efficiency in indexing and information retrieval. This makes it essential to draw up guidelines for indexing and to establish these guidelines in indexing policies, with a view to improving quality. The conclusion is that libraries are concerned with improving and adopting more efficient practices and indexing strategies, as well as investing in resources and professional training to offer more efficient and satisfactory services to users. In addition, there is a clear disregard for public libraries on the part of the government, which is reflected in the lack of leadership and technical processing positions held by librarians.

  • DIAGNOSIS OF PHYSICAL SPACE INFORMATION MANAGEMENT FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF A GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS): A Case Study at the UFPA Institute of Geosciences

  • Data: 28/08/2023
  • Mostrar Resumo
  • The organization, visualization and monitoring of physical space information becomes a necessity for institutional management in universities, as it eases the decision-making regarding physical infrastructures, which are, in this type of institution, increasingly more complex, due to demands required by university education, such as laboratories, multimedia rooms, auditoriums, museums, and multicampus distributions, as well as expansion areas. This study carried out a diagnosis of the situation of the Institute of Geosciences (IG), Academic Unit of the Federal University of Pará, regarding the management of information on the use of its infrastructure, and analyzed the use of GIS in supporting the management; the analysis was based on the review of previous experiences and antecedents of GIS applications in the management of physical spaces in Universities, and on a pilot experience carried out at IG. This work is a case study of the Institute of Geosciences of UFPA, between the years 2021 and 2023, regarding the possibility of implementing GIS in the management of the spaces of the IG. In addition to reviewing cases of GIS applications in other Universities, relevant information was collected from key actors in the IG administration, and questionnaires were applied to the unit's academic staff and technicians to verify their perceptions in this area, and their attitude towards the GIS implementation. Additionally, a documentary review of the processes and infrastructure related to the institutional facilities was accomplished, combining this information through direct observations. Finally, a GIS application pilot was developed with QGIS software version 3.16, a free platform for creating cartographic representations. The literature reports the great potential of applying GIS to support the management of physical spaces in public universities. The perception of the IG servers is positive about the use of GIS, and with the application of the pilot, it was possible to demonstrate the possibilities of support in the management decisions of the Institute's managers, through different views of the Institute's infrastructure, making it possible to verify the reactions of the staff and analyze with them the benefits and limitations of the tool. The GIS pilot had more positive than negative reactions, as its visualizations allow a great wealth of information condensed in images. The visual element subserves the verification of the existing infrastructure, but also allows to perceive areas for possible expansion. However, in order to have a reliable and up-to-date registration base, with adequate software development, it is necessary to have qualified and stable technical staff. A GIS system will allow you to expand the management paradigm to visual representations of the space to be managed, linked to numerical and descriptive data that allow you to have a general and particular overview of the physycal space resources in the institution.

  • Data: 24/08/2023
  • Mostrar Resumo
  • Technological advancements, coupled with the widespread dissemination of the internet in the last two decades, have brought significant transformations in the organizational practices of archival institutions. Due to the rapid changes resulting from the emergence of new technologies, these institutions found themselves compelled to adapt to the new digital reality in an almost mandatory manner. Public archival institutions, in turn, began to conceive strategies for managing archival information in digital environments and started to adopt information retrieval systems within their organizational structures. The demand for tools that could assist in storage, dissemination, preservation, and access to information has grown significantly, reinforcing the importance of the right to information. Knowledge Organization, a discipline that explores elements that enable retrieval and access to information, carries out the systematization of the methodological principles that underlie these information retrieval tools. The use of these digital management tools has become imperative for archival institutions. In this context, this study aimed to investigate the representation and organization of information in the archival context. Furthermore, it sought to identify, discuss, and systematize the representation and retrieval of archival documents through AtoM (open-source software) in a permanent collection at the Federal University of Pará. This research analyzed the use and benefits of an Information Retrieval System in an archival collection, with a focus on archival description activities, making these documents accessible and optimizing research. A case study was conducted on a set of documents currently stored in the Central Archive, with the purpose of conducting this evaluation. The results of this research highlighted the importance of information organization in the Central Archive of UFPA, emphasizing the need for standardized archival descriptions to improve efficiency and accessibility. The integration between Archival Science and Knowledge Organization proved to be decisive in addressing contemporary challenges, particularly those related to technology. This research not only bridged the gap between these fields but also promoted innovation and continuous improvement in information organization and access.

  • The importance of judicial archives and their management spurred the Brazilian judiciary to sign a cooperation agreement in 2008 between the National Council of Archives (CONARQ) and the National Council of Justice (CNJ). It was noticed that the creation of specific legislation for the management of judicial documents was not enough to guarantee the preservation of archival information. Additionally, the computerization process brought by the new millennium together with the desire to apply the MoReq-Jus format in these records, brought several challenges for the management and preservation of these units. In this context, the judicial archives are in a moment of profound changes and this work aims to understand such challenges in the Amazon, through the analysis of the file case of the Federal Regional Court One (TRF1), section of the State of Pará. The specific objective of this work was to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the TRF1 Archive in Document Management in view of the threats and opportunities that the new context offers. For this, the Archival Diagnosis was used as a means to address the strategic planning and management of the institution in context. This study was carried out in two phases: (1) analysis of the context of the Archive and (2) internal analysis of the unit. In the first phase, the PEST systematic (analysis of the Political-normative, Economic, Sociocultural and Technological environment) was applied, and the perspective of Soft Systems Analysis was integrated with the CATWOE (Customer, Actor, Transformation, Worldview, Owner, Environment ). In the second phase, it studied the resources, capacities and generic and distinctive competences present or missing in the archive and in the institution. Information collection used document analysis, semi-guided interviews, questionnaires and field observation. The evidence was organized using a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) matrix. In conclusion, the SWOT diagnosis was analyzed with the members of the Archive to identify the elements with the greatest positive and negative impact on the management of the Archive, as well as the most urgent or medium and long-term ones. With this diagnosis, it is expected to contribute to the planning and strategic management of the TRF1 Archive towards its continuous improvement in terms of its archival functions.

The study is part of the Organization and Representation of Information line of research, with the objective of investigating the quality of indexing of documents inserted in the institutional repositories of Higher Education Institutions in Pará. The research is justified by: the importance of organizing knowledge to enable access to scientific productions from institutional repositories. As a research problem, there is the following question: according to the elements of the indexing policy: exhaustiveness, specificity, recall and precision, the quality of the indexing carried out in the Institutional Repositories of UFOPA, UFPA and UFRA can satisfactorily meet the informational needs of the users of these institutions? With the general objective: the contribution to Information Science, collaborating for the organization of knowledge and information, as well as encouraging reflection on the importance of indexing for the organization and retrieval of knowledge. The specific objectives are: a) to carry out a bibliographical survey, in order to provide subsidies for the construction of the theoretical framework regarding the conceptualization, process and purpose of the organization of knowledge, indexing, indexing policy, evaluation of indexing and institutional repositories; b) investigate how the indexing process performed by professionals in the institutional repositories of UFOPA, UFPA and UFRA takes place based on the application of the Individual Verbal Protocol (PVI) and Questionnaire; c) evaluate the indexing quality based on the categories elaborated through the indexing policy elements: exhaustiveness, specificity, recall and precision. The research has as methodology: a qualitative approach, by means of instruments: individual verbal protocol and questionnaire, applied to indexing librarians of institutional repositories. As a result, it was considered that the quality of indexing follows the standards of exhaustiveness and recall elements, the others need more depth to be met by the quality of indexing. It was observed that the configuration of the environment of the repositories is a factor that can influence the quality of indexing in a negative way, since there is a shortage of professionals for the demand of the repositories. In addition, there was a need to improve both the indexing task and the training of professionals working in this service.

Additionally, a data triangulation was performed, as a data analysis technique, based on different sources of empirical evidence, in order to ensure greater robustness to the results. The results showed that professors are aware of research data sharing, although they know little about Open Science. Regarding data sharing practices, the survey points out that most share data informally, this may be related to the fact that the institution does not have a Data Management Policy. With regard to practice, it was noticed that researchers are afraid of sharing research data. Finally, the importance and necessity of adopting the institution's normalization instruments to support the sharing and security of data from various perspectives (research reproducibility, citation, trust, credibility, scientific record) is highlighted.

  • The Information Organization, which itself has the objective of strengthening the relationship between informational products and access by users, when linked to Information Representation, focuses on the process of describing the material and content, following faithful to the data of the material. and thinking strategically about what is relevant in user search and retrieval. For this, in Librarianship, codes, norms and instruments are adopted for representation that best adapt to the needs of the library and the user. One of the services offered by Libraries, specifically those of a university nature, is the preparation of the catalog file that can be performed in a traditional or automated way. This type of information service has as its product generated the catalog card itself, which, due to the two preparation options already mentioned (traditional and automated) can present divergences and errors, when compared with the guidelines that the cataloging code or instructions of the system itself. automated feature. Due to this diversification that can be found in the product of the catalog card, the following question is generated: How is the Information Organization being applied in the representation of information in catalog cards in Public Institutions of Higher Education in the North region, Brazil, based on the Anglo-American Cataloging Code and Resolution no. 184/2017 - Federal Council of Librarianship. Having as justification the need to standardize the information for presenting a diversity, both by graduated and experienced professionals and by users (laymen to the cataloging process) of the automated format. With this, this research aims to analyze the application of the Information Organization with the service/product of the Catalog Card in Public Institutions of Higher Education in the North region, to highlight the diversification regarding the presentation of this catalog card, the possible errors found and highlight the obligation stipulated in Resolution No. 184/2017 - Federal Council of Librarianship.

  • In the Brazilian context, university museums emerged with the creation of Universities, mostly in the 1950s. Although there are museums executing teaching and research activities, the aggregation of Institutions came as a response to modern society. At the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) there are several spaces that are auto-claimed museums”, sometimes with museum characteristics, sometimes collections or even science centers. In view of the plurality of locations and the teaching, research and extension triad, the question arose: What is the integration between the research, teaching and extension actions of the UFPA’s museums, collections and museological centers and the university policy of this Institution? Thus, this descriptive, documentary and bibliographical research aims to map university museums, collections and museological centers, from the perspective of Information Science and Museology, investigating teaching, research and extension actions,  in order to establish, or not, the integration with actions proposed by the Institution. From the exclusively online mapping, we found 14 museological centers, distributed in six Institutes, two Centers and one Unit. Of these, we collected information on the UFPA Portal, on the websites of the Institutes and spaces, when there are, in the Bylaws, Unit Development Plans (PDU) and activity reports. In addition to scientific articles, when found. As a result, we prepared a summary of each space and, based on them, we observed that: 06 spaces are open to visitation, exercising communication with the internal and external public of the University; in 07 we identified academic own productions or about them; 05 are registered on the Sucupira Platform; among other results. We conclude that most of the spaces are in line with UFPA's university policies but lack recognition by the Institution and by the units that are subordinated. We point out that one possibility of highlighting museums and university collections and creating dialogue between them is through a network of museums, like other Universities. We hope that the reflections are able to contribute within  the debate on the theme, the importance and the role in the context of the Institution. From the perspective of Information Science and Museology, we aim to demonstrate how these spaces are organized and interact within the Federal University of Pará.

  • Data: 27/04/2023
  • Mostrar Resumo
  • Introduction: The Network Society has been employing the use of technologies, valuing information and Information and Communication Technologies to increase the capacity to acquire new knowledge and expand the integration of people in communication in real-time and without barriers. In this context, part of individuals became users of Online Social Network Services one of the objects of the study of Information Science. During the COVID-19 pandemic, users sought information about the epidemiological situation in these services in posts (audio-visual or textual), a phenomenon that also went through the construction of alternative narratives, also called pseudoscience, starting to be shared in uninformative messages. Information requires to be backed by scientific knowledge and has become essential in the fight against Fake News and Fake Science, especially by information professionals. Research Problem: The context of Online Social Network Services in the COVID-19 pandemic revealed clusters in which disinformation about science (Fake Science) presents, through an inference, strength equal to or greater than the dissemination of reliable sources of scientific information from institutional profiles, resulting in low dissemination, interaction and reach of reliable information to users of Online Social Network Services on important topics for the fight against COVID-19. Objective: To map the interactions that occur on Online Social Networks based on the analysis of publications on COVID-19 carried out by scientific content creators to identify the scope of this information in the health domain. As specific objectives, it is proposed: to identify, select and describe profiles of digital scientific disseminators and the performance of these social actors in Online Social Network Services on the topic of COVID-19; and a control profile related to Fake Science to understand by comparison the performance of Brazilian science communicators; develop and apply a data collection instrument for transforming Online Social Network Services data into data analyzable by the Social Network Analysis method, and; create a database with collected data and perform a content analysis among the scientific dissemination posts that make up the sample, to observe the contributions of these posts to the fight against misinformation about COVID-19. Justification: The research is relevant, as the moment pandemic raised questions regarding the source of information, the validity of the data, and Information Science operates in areas that include investigating the phenomenon of disinformation, guaranteeing government transparency, and providing references from his point of view for computing to develop new services in digital environments. Scientific communication faces the challenge of selecting information, sources, and documents among so superfluous information on the internet, and the chronology created by Facebook users will become the future memory, and it is interesting to search Online Social Networking Services for the fundamental understanding of beliefs and values, observing users from the links established in cyberspace. Scientific knowledge organizations depend on the credibility of individuals. Digital scientific popularizers provide relevant facts and results, transformed into information about what is happening in science, to users of Online Social Networking Services to promote citizenship, politics, and the transparency of their actions. Methodological Procedures: The strategies adopted for carrying out the research were carried out using combined methods: a) theoretical framework, containing the results of the bibliographical research; b) Analysis of selected profiles on Facebook; c) Data analysis by Social Network Analysis; d) Qualitative analysis of posts for categorization and coding. Results: In the bibliography review, used as a theoretical framework for the research, 46 scientific communications were collected, 12 of which were used in the research. In the case of posts, a total of 2,123 posts published between January 2, 2020, and December 16, 2021, were collected, asymmetrically, that is, each of the profiles analyzed published different amounts in this period. Of this total number of posts, 949 posts were analyzed. For the analysis, the set of 949 posts allowed the use of data from 2,129 comments, used in the Social Network Analysis. In the case of qualitative results, through the analysis of the posts, two categories Fake Science (with data from the control profile) and Scientific Dissemination (with data from the profiles of scientific dissemination) were developed. Each category had a set of specific codes, and for Fake Science, the codes are Anti-vaccination, Disinformation, Hate Speech, Fact-checking, Bolsonarista Media, Scientific Denialism, Standards, and False Testimony. In the case of the Scientific Dissemination category, the following codes were used: Discourse of Authority, Scientific Education, Epistemology, Scientific Media, Standards, and Vaccination. All these codes originate from the interpretation of the research based on the research results of the bibliographic review. In the Fake Science category, the main codes identified in excerpts from the posts were: Bolsonarista Media, Scientific Denialism, and Disinformation, representing 65.00% of the encodings. In the Scientific Dissemination category, the main codes were: Standards (45.60%), Scientific Media, and Authority Discourse, representing 87.10% of the codifications. From the analysis of excerpts from the posts - and their relationship with category codes - it was possible to synthesize patterns and differences between the performance of these profiles. Conclusion: It is concluded that the objective of the research was achieved but with certain impediments. The sample related to scientific dissemination profiles was collected prior to the analysis, that is, all data to be used were collected in a single period. However, it is important to point out that during the research, both profiles of science communication on Facebook were excluded by the owners, making it difficult to make impressions that could establish more qualitative layers in the information of the posts, such as, for example, the verification of styles in the use of images. , preventing the comparison with the control profile (which was still active at the time of writing the dissertation).

  • Introduction: Online Social Networking Services are services that help the process of communication and interrelationship between individuals and companies through the internet, expanding the reach of Social Networks. The movement of users on these services has created flows of data that have never before been imagined. The information generated by these flows has piqued the interest of technology companies and researchers. Research Problem: Therefore, it is important that the legal documentation presents the occasions on which data is collected by Online Social Networking Service Twitter, allowing the characteristic mapping that can support the processes of collecting user data for targeting content and in the construction of what is presented in Trending Topics whether organic or artificial — problem of this research. Objective: Identify in the legal documentation of Online Social Networking Services the occasions on which user data collection processes occur, especially aimed at the context of user interactions for the Trending Topics formation. As specific objectives, it is proposed: Map possible data collection occasions, through legal documentation; Determine which users data sets can be collected from processes; Identify characteristics of Trending Topics and relate them to the structures and data sets collected by the service. Research universe: To compose the research universe, it was decided to analyze Twitter’s legal documentation, as it was the first Online Social Networking Services with global operations to adopt a specific area for displaying current affairs. Two versions of the legal documentation were used: 16 and 17. At first, in the preparation of the dissertation, version 16 was used, which came into force on August 19, 2021. The information in this version was used in the theoretical framework and complementary to the results, that is, in the case of elements that were hidden or removed from version 17, information from version 16 was used. Justification: From the moment that Online Social Networking Services such as Twitter begin influencing data flows that circulate in user’s timelines and profit from the provision of services and products based on collected data from these users, the need to understand the occasions on which these processes occur objectively since the legal documentation can hide such information. Methodological Procedures: The strategies adopted to conduct or perform the research were through combined methods: Theoretical framework, containing subjects related to the context of the research: history and characteristics of Twitter, its resources and the characteristics of Trending Topics; Descriptive analysis of Online Social Networking Service Twitter’s legal documentation, to obtain information regarding the occasions for user data collection and available data sets, and; Comparative analysis between information from data collection occasions processes carried out by the service and the characteristics of the Trending Topics. Results: The results are divided into 2 parts: a) Occasions for user data collection, based on the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy, in which the excerpts on how data is collected, which data can be collected and which the use or sharing of the Online Social Networking Service Twitter indicates that it will be carried out. At the end of this part, a synthesis was elaborated relating the occasions and data sets with the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy, and; b) Comparison between information identified in the Terms of Service and the Privacy Policy and the characteristics of the Trending Topics, through a comparative analysis between the results of the first stage (synthesis) and the characteristics of the Trending Topics. Eleven characteristics of Trending Topics were identified, as well as 15 collection processes and 34 references on data sets collected by the service. In the comparison, it was possible to establish that the characteristics of the Trending Topics are possible through 42 repetitions of these collection processes, with a total of 390 data sets collected. Final considerations: The main feature of Twitter when it comes to data collection was the creation of structures that allow access to collected data, which became its trademark. It is considered that the objective of the research was achieved because it was possible to extract information about the data collection occasions and their structures through the legal documentation of Twitter and thus relate them to their systematization. Research limitations are related to Twitter’s current timing. And future possibilities are to use other tools and techniques to perform new data analysis.

  • SOCIAL INDEXING IN THE CONTEXT OF SCIENTIFIC DISCLOSURE IN THE ONLINE SOCIAL NETWORK SERVICE TIKTOK: an analysis in the context of scientific dissemination

  • Data: 24/03/2023

  • Introduction: Information and communication technologies provide communication autonomy to individuals with access to the internet and its web services. Social indexing, in this context, is a method of representing information based on natural language, where the web user is the protagonist. In the universe of online social networking services, social indexing can be observed in the form of hashtags, and its applicability understood as a potential resource to promote information visibility. A question that can contribute to the purposes of scientific dissemination on online social networks. Objective: To carry out a quantitative and qualitative analysis on the use of hashtags in the context of science dissemination on TikTok, in order to identify the characteristics and visibility strategies based on social indexing. Methodology: Exploratory research of a qualitative and quantitative nature, carried out from profiles and scientific dissemination videos shared on TikTok in 2022. It is divided into three phases: 1) selection, whose objective is to determine the identification strategies and selection parameters of the two data sets (profiles and hashtags) analyzed in this study; 2) collection, whose objective is to collect the necessary information for the analyses proposed in the third phase; 3) analysis, whose objective is to carry out: i) quantitative analyses of the sample; ii) analyses of the characteristics of the most popular hashtags collected; and iii) identification of possible visibility strategies based on social indexing. Results: 172 profiles were collected through research strategies applied to Google Search and TikTok, of which 17 were selected for hashtag collection. From the analyses it was possible to observe hashtags linked to the academic context, generic hashtags unrelated to the scientific universe, hashtags that identify or personalize the search for information conveyed to a profile and a political hashtag. It was possible to observe the use of visibility strategies based on social indexing in videos intended for scientific dissemination on TikTok. However, it is concluded that social indexing alone cannot promote content visibility with regard to TikTok. This does not negate the importance of information representation in this online social networking service. Social indexing should be understood as one part of the actions that help promote the visibility of scientific information on TikTok. Conclusion: When starting the analysis process, it was noticed that social indexing is one of many strategies and resources that the TikTok algorithm uses to segment content. Therefore, in order to obtain an overview of the visibility of scientific content on TikTok, it is necessary for future work to expand the observation of mechanisms that promote information visibility on TikTok. From this, it will be possible to understand how the algorithm benefits from other elements such as: the chosen soundtrack, user interactions on the interface and other mechanisms that can contribute to a content being considered relevant or not to the user and being recommended in the for your feed of this online social networking service.

  • Constitution of the Institutional Memory on environmental sustainability disclosed within the scope of the Federal University of Pará

  • Data: 31/01/2023
  • Mostrar Resumo
  • Environmental sustainability is an urgent issue to be debated in order to stimulate the growth of society's environmental awareness. One of the difficulties in achieving this goal is access to content in a language accessible to the general public. The Federal University of Pará News Portal is the Institution's main communication channel. It is through it that one has access to information about events, institutional actions and the scientific and academic knowledge generated within the scope of the University, and it is also a space for retrieving information about the Institution. Understanding that the Institutional Memory is constituted from the process of choice and selection of what was and is relevant to the history of an Institution, in this scenario the News Portal of the Federal University of Pará and the Institution's Academic Units is studied to identify this relationship. This research has as its guiding problem: How does the information on environmental sustainability disseminated within the scope of the Federal University of Pará constitute its Institutional Memory? To answer this question, the general objective is to analyze the dissemination of academic-scientific production on environmental sustainability generated within the scope of the Federal University of Pará for the constitution of Institutional Memory. As research methods, the single case study was used, used for data collection, and Content Analysis for the analysis of the data obtained. According to the cut delimited by the research, five sources of evidence were analyzed: Institutional documents from the Federal University of Pará and the Institutional Communication Office; Analysis, based on data mining, of the pages of the News Portal of the Federal University of Pará and the websites of the Academic Units; Questionnaire answered by the administrators of these pages; Interview with the Director of the Communication Office of the University and research in the Institutional Repository of Theses and Dissertations of the Federal University of Pará. As a result, it was identified that the disclosures made through the Portal and the websites of the Academic Units are recognized by the University's management as an instrument in achieving the Institution's strategic management. There is dissemination of information on environmental sustainability on the University's websites, however the theme is still little explored. The Communication Office recognizes the relevance of the theme and has been developing strategies for greater dissemination. As for the constitution of the Institutional Memory, although there is recognition that the Portal is a form of Constitution of the Institutional Memory of the Federal University of Pará, there is still no concern in the sense of structuring and maintaining it from this perspective, with the need to instrumentalize such a need. It was concluded that the University News Portal and the websites of the Academic Units can be considered as instruments in the constitution of the Institutional Memory of the Federal University of Pará, although currently they are not treated nor prepared to act in this way, however, they can become institutionalized places of memory.

  • As a starting point, studies inherent to the Information Ecosystem are presented, attributed to the idea of organizing informational spaces, arranged in a digital environment present today, where development and use have advanced and the dissemination of false and dubious information has been gaining space, raising questions about the reliability and authenticity of the information that is being accessed and disseminated by society. Given this scenario, it is possible to identify the installation of the Disinformation Ecosystem linked to a chain of informational phenomena linked to disinformation, intensified in economic, political, cultural and health contexts, requiring knowledge, skills and attitudes of the subjects involved in this scenario. In this perspective, the following question arises: “what is the relationship between the Disinformation Ecosystem and Archival Information and what are the contributions of the triad Information Competence, Media Competence and Critical Information Competence in this scenario?”. The overall objective is to relate the structure and characteristics of the Disinformation Ecosystem with Archival Information in the post-custodial current, linked to studies of Information Competence, Media Competence and Critical Information Competence. The general objective is subsidized by three specific objectives: a) theoretically systematize the main themes listed in the research; b) investigate in contemporary national and international literature the relationships between the themes: Information Ecosystem, Misinformation Ecosystem and Archival Information; c) develop a conceptual representation highlighting the possible relationships between the Disinformation Ecosystem and Archival Information, pointing out how the triad Information Competence, Media Competence and Critical Information Competence can help in this context. As a methodology, a bibliographic survey was carried out, followed by the application of a Systematic Bibliographic Review. The collected data is processed by Wordart software, presented in a cloud of words and analyzed through Content Analysis. The results of this research point to the incidence of four points that converse between the Ecosystem of Disinformation and Archival Information, emphasizing the contributions of the triad of competences, for subjects involved in the Ecosystem of Disinformation, for Archivists and users of Archival Information, evidencing a discussion between social justice, science and archival practice. Concluding with Insights for further research.

  • SITUATION OF THE ART ABOUT THE SCHOOL LIBRARY IN THE GRADUATE COURSE OF CIENCE OF INFORMATION IN BRAZIL (2011-2020)

  • Data: 31/05/2022
  • Mostrar Resumo
  • Despite the school library (BE) playing an important social, educational, informative, and cultural role, until the end of the 20th century, the theme did not receive due scientific recognition in Brazil. From the beginning of the 21st century, the discussion of the theme was endorsed, mainly, by the legislative debate that resulted in Law 12.244/2010 on the universalization of the school library in the country and caused an impact on technical and scientific communication on the subject, generating numerous studies on the production of this theme, which served as a reference for this work, compiled through narrative review (ABREU; GONÇALVES, 1998; CAMPELLO, 2003; CAMPELLO et al., 2007; CAMPELLO et al., 2013; LEMOS, 2015; SILVA, 2015 ; SILVA; VENTORIM, 2016; PASQUIM, 2016; GASQUE; CASARIN, 2016; OLIVEIRA; CAMPELLO, 2016; SILVA; OLIVEIRA, 2017; RITA; BLATTMANN, 2018; OLIVEIRA, 2019; OLIVEIRA, 2019; ROCHA; SANTO, 2019). This research seeks to analyze the Brazilian scientific production on BE in postgraduate studies in Information Science (IC). The study's overarching goal is to examine works defended between 2011 and 2020 with the central axis of investigation being BE in Graduate Programs in CI (PPGCIs). With the specific objectives of: discussing the context of research on BE in Librarianship and CI and reviews of scientific production on the subject in the area; describing the academic work on BE of PPGCIs in the last decade; and identifying, through content analysis (BARDIN, 2010), the thematic categories of the selected works. Therefore, a literature review was carried out with a systematic search in the Catalog of Theses and Dissertations of CAPES to present the report of the characteristics of the collected works, followed by the identification of 14 research themes on BE in the selected studies, compared with the thematic categories from the literature review (CAMPELLO et al., 2013; SILVA, 2015 and LEMOS, 2015). The results point to a low representativeness of BE in PPGCIs research in the last decade (2.94%) and reveal new research themes in postgraduate studies on BEs: information mediation, accessibility, management, information organization, and studies of historical aspects of the school library, in addition to those already known in previous studies. In general, the most discussed categories among the selected studies (Competence in Information, Reading, and the educational function of the BE) reinforce the primary function of the BE of contributing to the formation of students through the processes of reading development and search skills, as well as access and use of information for citizen information literacy.

  • The Knowledge Organization (CO) has been present since the beginning of Information Science (CI), therefore, works related to this area (CI) are considered important. The research aims to identify the ideologies present in the studies carried out within the scope of the National Meeting of Research in Information Science (ENANCIB), for this, it will use the theoretical contributions provided by the Discourse Analysis (AD), specifically the one of French origin, having as its precursor Michel Pêcheux, being the latter along with Michel Foucault the two main authors that will be used as a theoretical framework of AD in the research. Regarding the research questions, it was necessary to identify the paradigms that influence the work in IC within the scope of the Enancib Work Group 2 (GT2), so that there is more clarity in the studies developed within this line of research and also investigates how AD can contribute to the advancement of CI. This research is justified by the lack of studies focused on the theoretical-methodological area in IC, so it will contribute to the advancement of this science and therefore of society, given that information is found in all its spheres. Thus, it aims to: identify the ideological aspects that permeate the scientific production of IC within the scope of ENANCIB, more specifically in the research line of Knowledge and Information Organization; analyze how investigations on OC and IO are currently taking place within the scope of the event; identify the main paradigms that influence research in this area; understand what and for whom the Knowledge and Information Organization serves within the scope of ENANCIB; to point out the differences and similarities present in the speeches elaborated in the area of OC and IO within the ENANCIB. The main methodological instrument will be the French-based AD, to carry out the research, the works published in ENANCIB in the years 2014 to 2019 were used.

  • An analysis is made regarding the development of Knowledge Organization in the field of Archival Science, presenting as a central discussion, the theoretical and methodological foundations that involve the use of the thesaurus in the context of the web. A more detailed model of the organic-functional information is proposed for the series Police Inquiries from the collection of the Public Archive of the State of Pará - APEP, based on the Australian model, with the help of the Applied Semantic Thesaurus - (THESA). We consider that the Knowledge Organization is an area that contributes significantly to the creation and development of methodologies for accessing information. So how can we apply Knowledge Organization Systems in the context of files? In order to answer this question, we started with a methodological approach in three stages: the exploratory phase, fieldwork and data processing and analysis. The results demonstrate that the THEESA software can be adapted and used as a terminological control instrument in archives, and can be used by other institutions. Through the product developed in a precise and representative way of organic-functional information.

  • Data: 31/05/2022
  • Mostrar Resumo
  • The rapid spread of COVID-19 around the world has caused the number of research related to the disease to also increase at a rapid pace, setting up an unprecedented scientific race. The Brazilian Collective Health scientific community was also involved in this movement. To visualize Brazil's contribution in this field, this work seeks to analyze the profile and contribution of the Brazilian Collective Health scientific production in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic. This is a descriptive study, with a quali-quantitative approach, which used bibliographic research and bibliometric, altmetric and content analyses. Scientific production was measured using indicators of productivity, impact, and visibility. For these purposes, articles on Collective Health and COVID-19 were searched in the Web of Science, Scopus, SciELO, and PubMed Central databases, with Brazil as the country of affiliation of one or more authors, and the publication period delimited from Jan./2020 to Dec./2021. As a result, 735 articles were selected, most of them published in 2021 (62.04%), in English (50.07%), in foreign journals (72.41%), as original article (58.23%). These articles received 7,027 citations. The Southeast Region showed the highest number of publications (51.56%), and the University of São Paulo was the most productive institution (6.88% of articles). The area managed to articulate with researchers from 827 institutions in 71 countries. The most productive author published 18 papers. Only 25.44% of the articles mentioned a source of funding, with CNPq being the most cited. The 100 most cited articles had 47,982 interactions on social media platforms, the majority from Twitter (54.76%) by members of the general public (92.69%). The article with the highest rate of attention on social media ranked 82nd in the most cited ranking. A total of 14 subjects were identified. “Health care in the pandemic” showed the majority of articles (108). However, “Epidemiology and health surveillance in the pandemic context” was the most relevant topic for the scientific community and the one that aroused greater interest in the general public. We concluded that the articles analyzed in this study reflect the Brazilian scientific production and were considered relevant, as they were cited by other authors in their studies and attracted the attention of a public not only scientific/academic, but also media and general. With this mapping, we sought to contribute to a clear view of the level of evolution of Brazilian Collective Health and its global collaboration during one of the biggest public health crises in recent decades. In addition, we hope that this study can stimulate new studies on Brazilian scientific production, as a way of showing its relevance and the imperative need for investments in science even in times of political and economic difficulties.

  • Archival Literacy, translated in this research as Archival Competence, is considered in the current international academic-scientific scenario as an aspect of Information Competence. The present research has as general objective to propose a concept for the term Archival Competence suitable for the Brazilian archival scenario. To achieve this objective, the research proposes to systematize the themes related to Archival Competence, investigate the bibliographic production on the subject in order to identify the characteristics and perspectives of Archival Competence and finally, propose a concept for the term Archival Competence. For the operationalization of the presented objectives, it was decided to carry out different methodological procedures to achieve them: Bibliographic Research, Systematic Bibliographic Review and Grounded Theory. The data collection procedures of the Systematic Bibliographic Review took place from October 2020 to April 2022, in the Portal of Periodicals of the Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education Personnel, in the Library & Information Science Abstracts, in the Web of Science and in the Library of Online Knowledge. This phase was divided into three stages with different objectives: 1. understand the essence of Archival Competence using the search string "Archival Literacy"; 2. understand the fields of knowledge that make up Archival Literacy using the strings: Domain Knowledge, Artifactual Literacy and Archival Intelligence; 3. know the national debates around Archival Competence using the expression itself (in Portuguese) and possible variations. From the analysis of the data obtained in the Systematic Bibliographic Review in combination with the Grounded Theory, a proposal of a concept for the main theme of this research is presented. Thus, exposing that the relationship between Information Competence and Archival Science is characterized as a fertile field for the development of new research. Finally, the present study identifies the existence of application contexts that modify the development of Archival Competence according to its singularities and that, for a better understanding of these contexts, studies focused on the informational practices of each possible subject inserted in the contexts are necessary.

  • Scientific production is a fundamental instrument to promote and strengthen the knowledge cycle. This contribution to the production of knowledge occurs through the dissemination of articles in journals, indexed in national and international databases, it also contributes to the certification of research and recognition by peers, which guarantees acceptance and visibility in the scientific society. The female presence in the scientific field has contributed to the production of knowledge, enabling social discussions about the reasons that keep them less productive and the impasses in the progression of the scientific career within universities. In this sense, this research sought to analyze the female presence through scientific production and visibility in publications indexed in Scopus. For this, it aimed to identify the scientific production of UFPA researchers at Scopus in the time frame from 2010 to 2021; categorize scientific production and visibility metadata; to map the networks of co-authorship, of co-occurrence of keywords from the scientific production of women at UFPA; present an overview of the female presence at UFPA by thematic areas. This is a research characterized as quantitative-qualitative, exploratory-descriptive and sought to relate variables and indicators that can measure and evaluate the scientific production of UFPA researchers indexed in Scopus, through the search term affiliation "university of paramedics". ”, using bibliometric techniques for research. The collected data were grouped into three four-year periods: a) 2010 to 2013, b) 2014-2017 and c) 2018 to 2021. The VOSviewer software was used to prepare maps with the co-authorship networks and co-occurrence of keywords. There was a gradual increase in publications by researchers in Scopus and a high level of production by teachers and researchers in Biological Sciences and Health Sciences. Finally, it is possible to infer that the female scientific production of UFPA is focused on collective well-being and regional development. In this way, scientific collaboration between women has the potential to impact health and sustainable Amazonian development.

  • From the emergence of discussions about Archival Information as an object of study of post-custodial Archival, the literature begins to signal the concept of Archival Information Management, however, with regard to the processes that compose it, they have not yet been discussed and presented. . Those already consolidated comprise the Document Management processes, that is, linked to the Archival Document. In this scenario, using interdisciplinarity, it was intended to seek possible solutions to this problem in Information Science, analyzing the relationship between Information Management with its object, Information, Document Management with the Archival Document, for then provide the steps to be followed for the "concretion" of Archival Information Management, aiming at treatment, control and access for society. Thus, this study seeks to answer two questions: how to develop an Archival Information Management? What skills will the archivist need to develop this management? The General Objective is to present a framework with the essential components to the Archival Information Management process and the skills that the archivist needs to act in this scenario. From this, a bibliographic research was carried out to map the following themes: Information, Information Management, Archival Document, Archival Information and Archival Information Management. After the provision of the theoretical assumptions, Grounded Theory was applied, being used to analyze and compare the points in common, enabling the elaboration of a theory from the data, which explains the particular phenomenon/problem worked on in the research. Finally, equipped with the comparison data and elements predisposed to the embodiment of Archival Information Management, a framework is presented containing dimensions, specific activities, professional and informational skills for the archivist to carry out the treatment of Archival Information.

  • Relating what happens between the lines of ICT with problems of privacy and access to data is complex, even because individuals simply use them naturally. That is why it is perhaps difficult to have any critical sense about the real objectives of the companies responsible for its development. In this sense, this investigation is relevant because it discusses studies that address issues related to ICT, SRSO and data privacy. This is a topic that has been increasingly in evidence due to problems arising from leakage, misuse and exposure of data. Thus, the general objective is to prepare a Systematic Literature Review from scientific communications that address aspects of Social Network Services, privacy and potential risks that affect the security of user data. The specific objectives were: a) to collect information on data privacy in scientific communications that deal with the topic of Social Network Services, b) To identify in scientific communications the main theoretical aspects related to the context of data privacy in SRSO, c) List the potential data privacy risks in SRSO identified in the scientific literature, c) Relate the main data privacy risks identified in the RSL to the groups and subgroups defined and described in the privacy taxonomy. The research universe was scientific communications on SRSOs and data privacy. A Systematic Literature Review was adopted as a research method, which involved conducting research in three knowledge bases (SciELO), Reference Database of Journal Articles in Information Science (BRAPCI) and Academic Search Premier (ASP). -EBSCO). From the quantitative results, 331 scientific communications were obtained, subject to inclusion and exclusion criteria, as well as the reading of articles in journals to verify adherence to the theme, totaling 20 scientific communications. As for the qualitative results, information was obtained on aspects related to Social Networking Services, privacy and potential risks that affect the security of users' data. Among the aspects, the role of ICT and mobile devices in privacy issues such as prolonged use, ease of access to SRSOs through smartphone stands out. Another aspect that raises some concern is the issue of surveillance carried out both by companies and by the users themselves. This type of occurrence in SRSO leads to the discussion of problems related to a control society, crimes committed through the use of multiple profiles or false profiles by users both associated with the anonymity of individuals, the intense use of SRSO and by sharing or re-sharing. of control of ideal standards of beauty. It is concluded that the risks related to Social Networking Services and privacy were access to confidential data, judgments, embarrassment, persecution, decontextualization of publications, in addition to exposure of groups protected by Brazilian legislation as in the case of children. Therefore, the unconscious and thoughtless use by users in these online environments can irreversibly affect their lives as there are reports of cases including suicides provoked by judgments.

  • The objective of this study is to analyze the characteristics contained in the Terms of Use of Online Social Networking Services, specifically, the articles and other legal paragraphs that deal with privacy elements and relate them to the elements that define the properties of Information Ethics and the Digital Law. The delimitation of the research theme is based on the study of services available on the internet, especially those considered Online Social Networking Services that have a high number of users. Furthermore, the discussion on privacy in the Network Society has promoted debates on the ethical implications in the informational environment and how these implications are reflected in the provision of data when the user accepts the conditions to use the services. In this sense, the problem of this research is structured: the distance between the concepts of Information Ethics and Digital Law in the information in the Terms of Use can create a favorable environment for potential actions harmful to personal data collected by Online Social Networking Services. The criteria for choosing the sample for the SRSO were those that presented the following characteristics: being free (not charging a fee for use) and being ranked among the twenty most accessed website services. The method to be used is a combination of techniques divided into stages. Initially, the first step was a literature review on the main concepts of privacy in online social networks, analyzing the main notions about personal data and their relationship on the internet in order to understand how the collection, storage and processing this information. Therefore, concepts were selected and identified that served as parameters for systematized content analysis that have informative elements that have a direct relationship with: aspects of the privacy of personal data of those referred (Collection, Purpose, Sharing, Sharing with external agents, Persistence/ Processing and Deletion), aspects related to Information Ethics (Choice, Consent, Correction, Explanation, Collection, and Use) and aspects related to Digital Law (characteristics of adhesion contracts made by social networks).

  • Bibliometric analysis of the dissertations defended in the postgraduate program in sustainable development of the moist tropic (PPGDSTU) and the postgraduate program in natural resource management and local development in the Amazon (PPGEDAM) at the Federal University of Pará. It aims to identify the main research currents linked to the access of natural resources. The research is characterized as quantitative, descriptive and bibliometric, from the survey of the dissertations in the online portals of the programs (PPGDSTU and PPGEDAM), Institutional Repository of UFPA (Riufpa), and on the Curriculum Lattes Platform. The year of defense analysis, research themes and more productive researchers were selected, presenting the main research strands and offering a "state of the art" in the scientific production of PPGDSTU and PPGEDAM. It was used as research tools: a) The software VOSviewer to identify the main thematic trends of postgraduate programs analyzed; b) The Wordclouds.com software in order to elaborate clouds of keywords, aiming at mapping the most used terms and discussed in the analyzed dissertations, and c) The Software Gephi to view the scientific collaboration network between teachers and tasks of the programs. The first year of defense of each program was adopted until 2018. It was found that so PPGEDAM as PPGDSTU have 172 dissertations produced between 2009 to 2018 while PPGDSTU / NAEA has 254 dissertations between 1987 to 2018 and, as for teachers which more guided in the PPGDSTU, 39 guiders were counted, while in PPGEDAM, has 27. It is concluded that research carried out in these programs through the natural resources theme in the Amazon, have been contributing to a more sustainable and predatory planet of predatory actions. It is also suggested the stimulus of collaborative partnerships between programs, creating academic master's incentives at PPGEDAM and Professional Master in PPGDSTU, in which it will contribute to the increase in the productivity of the institution. It is also suggested the implementation of research fueling scholarships to improve the performance of the programs, thus avoiding the
    oscillation of scientific productivity.

  • Mostrar Resumo
  • This research is part of the study area of Information Science, in the Knowledge Organization subarea, in order to discuss the importance of indexing policy in university libraries. The research is justified by the need to investigate aspects of organizational infrastructure for the development of indexing policy for the organization of knowledge in the physical and social space of university libraries. There is a research problem: How can the indexing policy contribute to the organization of knowledge in the sectorial libraries of the Federal University of Pará? With the general objective: To contribute to discussions on the relevance of the indexing policy for the organization of knowledge in sectorial libraries of the Federal University of Pará; and the specific objectives are: a) To carry out a bibliographic survey on the topics of organization and representation of knowledge, indexing, indexing policy, information retrieval and the like; b) Conduct a diagnostic study of the organizational infrastructure of the Federal University of Pará libraries; c) Investigate the elements of indexing policy by the cataloger in the Library System of the Federal University of Pará. Methodologically, the research is characterized as a case study, of an exploratory nature and with qualitative analysis of the data, in which the instruments to collect the data are: the bibliographic research in databases and the questionnaire, sent through Google forms to the professional catalogers of the Library System of the Federal University of Pará. As a result, from a sample of twelve libraries that participated in the research, it was identified the inexistence of an indexing policy, motivating the non-standardization in the strategies of use of Subject Analysis and Translation in the cataloging, however, based on the daily experiences of the catalogers, it was found the elements of: human resources, clientele, subject coverage, selection and acquisition of source documents, level of exhaustiveness, indexing process, documentary language, system evaluation and search strategies, which are part of a indexing policy. It was concluded that despite the non-formalization of the indexing policy, the integrated network of libraries has subsidies and elements for the formalization of guidelines, since the indexing policy in the integrated network can be an ally in the standardization of the indexing process among cataloging professionals, as well as as in carrying out training/training with a focus on subject cataloging, with guidelines on the use of retrospective conversion of bibliographic records, use of catalogs and databases in subject cataloging, giving the possibility to use this research as a model for the elaboration of an indexing policy, in addition to contributing to new studies on the topic of indexing policy in the Brazilian context.

  • The subject analysis aims to identify and select the concepts that represent the essence of a document, making it possible to recover it within a system, consisting of the first and most important step of the Indexing process. However, there is a lack of methodologies in the literature in the field of Museology for the practice of subject analysis in its Museological Documentation process and, consequently, in the retrieval of information in the museological context. This problem drove this research, whose objective is to contribute to the studies of the subject analysis process and Museological Documentation, aiming to improve the strategies of dissemination and retrieval of information in museums. Its specific objectives are: a) To carry out a theoretical study on the representation of information in museums; b) Conduct a theoretical study on subject analysis in indexing and verify the subsidies for subject indexing in museums; c) Identify whether the process of subject analysis and indexing occurs in the practice of cataloging in the museums of the Federal University of Pará and in the Museu Paraense Emílio Goeldi, through the application of the Individual Verbal Protocol. The methodology adopted is characterized as a case study, with an exploratory nature and qualitative analysis of the data. For data collection, the Individual Verbal Protocol technique is used, as it allows the generation of categories for analysis, enabling an investigation from the mental processes of professionals in relation to the subject analysis process in the practice of cataloging in the museum context.

  • SHARING SCIENTIFIC DATA: perception and practices of professors of postgraduate programs at ITEC and ICSA

  • Data: 30/09/2021
  • Mostrar Resumo
  • Open Science can be considered as a paradigm shift within the Open Access movement, containing in one of its pillars the open access to scientific research data in order to contribute and collaborate with the use, reuse and reproducibility of these data. Through sharing, research can be validated and bring more transparency to the studies developed. Among the issues debated about the sharing of research data is the authors' perception of this practice, which can both inhibit and influence it. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the perceptions and practices of permanent professors of graduate programs at the Institute of Technology (ITEC) and the Institute of Applied Social Sciences (ICSA) at UFPA regarding the sharing of research data. The methodology, of an exploratory nature, through the case study, composes the investigation regarding the sharing of research data, with the UFPA as the locus of the research, through a questionnaire and interview. The survey was conducted through 51 questionnaire respondents and 10 interview participants. The results showed that the professors have knowledge about research data sharing, but not in relation to the fundamentals of Open Science. Regarding data sharing practices, the research points to the occurrence informally, without the use of data management tools. The importance of this study at UFPA is highlighted, given the incipience on the theme and the need for guidelines and support at the institutional level, given the relevance of the theme in identifying and researching factors and characteristics that can increase the balance between the participants in the process and use of research data sharing.

  • The publication of Federal Law No. 12.527/2011 stipulated new ways of handling public information, establishing guidelines and procedures to be followed by public entities belonging to the Union, States, Federal District, and Municipalities, implementing active and passive transparency. The 2030 Agenda is a document composed by the United Nations (UN) that has 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that aim to contribute to sustainable development globally. Among these, SDG 16 "Peace, Justice and Effective Institutions" aims to "promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all, and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels" (UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION, 2015, unpaginated). The goal 16. 6 "develop effective, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels" as well as 16.10 "ensure public access to information and protect fundamental freedoms, in accordance with national legislation and international agreements". Aforementioned goals present as a central theme "access to and transparency of information in the public sectors", linked to the regulation of access to information in the public sphere. Hence, this research designated the following as a general objective: to demonstrate if the channels of access to information of the federal universities of the state of Pará present the requirements provided by the Access to Information Act, contributing to the achievement of the goals in the 2030 Agenda, 16.6 and 16.10. To this end, specific objectives were stipulated: identify the instruments of access to information used in the federal universities of the state of Pará; evaluate the instruments of access to information within the Federal Universities of the State of Pará according to the guidelines and procedures of the LAI and the indicators of the goals 16.6 and 16.10 and present potentialities and weaknesses of the universities observed from the analysis of the results. The research embodies a qualitative and quantitative approach. We adopted exploratory and descriptive methodology. Data collection was carried out through an observation script filled out by the universities and the author. The results indicated that the universities were in an progressive process of implementation of LAI. These institutions are adapting their channels of access to information according to the guidelines and orientations of the Act. Regarding goals 16.6 and 16.10, the results revealed that all four universities contribute to the achievement of said goals by disseminating reports and having SIC, e-SIC, Ombudsman and e-OUV (Plataforma Fala.BR), to respond to requests for information, following the guidelines of the Act. As for the structural and content (information) standardization signaled, all four utilize a language of easy understanding (citizen). The study also presented the potentialities and weaknesses of the universities from the LAI perspective and for the achievement of the 2030 Agenda observed from the analysis of the results. It is concluded that the process of implementation of LAI and goals 16.6 and 16.10 in the federal universities of the state of Pará contributes to the democratization of information, from their communication channels, contributing to the improvement of public service delivery in the North Region.

  • The development of Distance Education (DE), over the years, has enabled an accumulation of teaching methodologies and strategies that have expanded the opportunities for initial and continuing training for remote populations that face-to-face education was unable to meet, and thus, has be used as an alternative for admission to public and private higher education institutions. In view of this, the following question arises that will guide the development of this research proposal: the informational products and services, made available to students enrolled in distance education undergraduate courses in the context of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), meet the needs of the respective students? The general objective of the present work is to analyze the informational products and services offered by the University Library System - SIBI/UFPA to the student body mentioned above, while the specific objectives intend the following points: to raise the literature on theories, concepts and related definitions distance education and information products and services offered in this mode; verify how the participation of libraries and librarians in the classroom support centers of the Open University of Brazil (UAB) takes place in the context of UFPA; identify, characterize and evaluate the informational products and services offered at UFPA's on-site support centers in relation to the needs and expectations of the students served. To support this study, we opted for a methodology based on descriptive and documentary research, of an exploratory nature and with a quantitative approach, such as a case study. The research universe is the library of the university campus of Salinópolis at UFPA. The research subjects are constituted by the coordinator of SIBI / UFPA and by the librarian who works in the studied information unit, for which the following data collection instruments will be applied: questionnaire and interview. Subsequently, the data triangulation technique will be used in order to compare primary and secondary data with the reviewed literature. It is hoped that the fruit of study and application of this research will lead to an equitable offer of information products and services for undergraduate students in distance learning.

  • The information production and communication process belongs to Information Science interest. Scientific divulgation or popularization is a concept related to the scientific production process, in which the scientific community has an interest in disseminating its activities through a simple and intelligible language to the lay public. Bearing in mind that the action of disseminating science has a social role, with regard to the construction of people's critical sense through information, the research aimed to demonstrate the informational potential of scientific dissemination of the archaeological heritage of the Parque Estadual Monte Alegre (Pará) represented by cave paintings, in the perspective of the valorization and preservation of these remains, considering them, in a preliminary way, as relevant sources of information from the memory records of the Amazon region. Besides to identifying the documentary and informational potential of cave paintings, based on document definitions (expanding it beyond written records), based on the theories of Documentation by Bradford (1961), Otlet ([1934], 2018) and Briet (2016). It had as general objective: To investigate the scientific divulgation about the rock paintings located in the Monte Alegre State Park (Pará), in the perspective of the preservation of these vestiges. And as specific objectives: a) Verify the main initiatives used in the dissemination of the results of archaeological research on the rock paintings of the Monte Alegre State Park, as well as the respective types of initiatives, characteristics and subjects engaged in this work; b) Identify the scientific production on the rock painting of the archaeological sites in Monte Alegre, Pará; c) Point out the informational and documentary aspects of cave paintings. A qualitative and descriptive research was carried out, exploratory and bibliographic featured, using sources of information for theoretical support and collection of materials and instruments used in the dissemination of rock paintings to the lay public. The results showed that the scientific dissemination of rock paintings in Monte Alegre, Pará, has a significant informational potential, being promoted through an expressive number of initiatives, whose main characteristics are: institutional, educational and artistic-cultural. It was verified that the rock painting is a document with specific aspects to its support distinct from the traditional documents of written texts. It was also found that scientific production provides a basis for the creation of products and practices for the dissemination of these testimonies. It was concluded that the role of scientific dissemination in the process of transferring information to the population is essential for the preservation of rock representations in Monte Alegre, since information is a resource of significant potential for social transformation.

  • This research aims to analyze, within a historical, social and cultural context, the Informational Practices of quilombola students at the Federal University of Pará, in order to contribute to the elaboration of affirmative actions, with the perspective of minimizing the problem of access to information faced by these people. To reach the proposed objective, this research was divided in three stages, the first presents a theoretical systematization, product of the bibliographical research developed with reflections about the theoretical approaches related to the User Studies. The Informational Practices and the Critical Competence in Information, after a brief historical exposition of the quilombolas in Brazil, their fight for education, the access to higher education aiming to understand the historical, cultural and social trajectory of them. The second stage: the development of the research is presented, including the documental research that made it possible to identify the quilombola students at the Federal University of Pará and to trace an overview about the presence of quilombola students enrolled in the different campuses, poles, centers, and courses that form the institution. In order to conclude the initial objective, it was verified the Informational Practices of quilombola students through the ethnographic research, specifically with the application of a questionnaire in Google forms and semi-structured interviews, configured as tools for data collection. For the analysis of this collected data, we elected the Critical Discourse Analysis. Finally, a triangulation between the results of the bibliographic research and the ethnographic interview was carried out. The results indicate that the informational practices developed by quilombola students both in the academic field and in the community, field are influenced by factors such as history, cultural, social, political and economic capital. In this way, Critical Information Competence is observed in the individual and collective actions produced in the students' daily lives, showing that the dialogues between Informational Practices and Critical Information Competence contribute to the generation of fundamental knowledge on the issues of social and cultural differences within the researched context.

  • Among the institutions dedicated to the organization, preservation, and dissemination of information, four stand out due to the tradition of their work in ancient and modern society: archives, libraries, museums and documentation centers. However, in addition to these spaces, the present research highlights the documentary relevance of personal archives such as that of Edson Soares Diniz, a gone anthropologist in the Brazilian academic scene with relevant work carried out between the 1970s and 1990s. The main object aims to reflect about the indexing of the contents present in the photographs that compose the personal archive of the ethnologist Edson Diniz about the Tenetehara-Guajajara group. And specific objectives: to study the concept of documentation and documents in Information Science and Museology; carry out a theoretical survey on  knowledge organization, as well as on indexing; investigate procedures, difficulties, and strategies in the process of indexing photographs in the context of the personal archive of the ethnologist Edson Diniz about the Tenetehara-Guajajara group using the analysis sheet based on the Pato Method. The use of the Pato Method allowed the analysis of photographic images; with the participation of three professional museologists, with the support of a support text made available on the Tenetehara-Guajajara and Edson Diniz group, it was possible to apply in a contextual way the indexing of photographic images. Then, the three professionals received a  retrospective questionnaire, in which they could point out their considerations on the analysis form, on the photographs and describe their decision making at the time of filling in the analysis form. Thus, the results obtained both by applying the PatoMethod and by the retrospective questionnaire allowed to verify: the applicability of the analysis form for image indexing; the theoretical approaches to Document and Documentation between the areas of Information Science and Museology; and the importance of revising the support material for applying the analysis form. Therefore, by understanding that the establishment of reflections on documentary content, such as those present in the chosen photographs, are inserted in the debates in the field of Knowledge Organization; thus, it is proposed from the present research the importance of elaborating a manual that can promote the reproducibility of files based on the Pato Method to be adapted to the most diverse professional profiles.

  • ABSTRACT

    Permanent collections are spaces of memory, have a social function in the space they occupy, constituting an inexhaustible source for research, whether academic and scientific or not. The relevance of indexing with regard to the organization of permanent files is very important, as it is used with an action to describe, identify and retrieve a certain document, with the intention of achieving excellence in information retrieval. Many professionals organize
    archives according to empirical non-archival criteria, creating a problem of inconsistency between custody and access to stored documents, precisely because the collections do not meet archival standards, premises and foundations. The objective of this research is to diagnose the indexing processes of permanent collections in five public agencies. Specifically, it is intended to: contextualize the specialized literature on the theoretical and methodological framework of the Knowledge Organization, in terms of: archival representation, the rules for archival description and indexing in permanent collections; analyze how the process of indexing permanent collections in public agencies occurs. The methodology consisted of a set of procedures, including research steps, questionnaire application, structured in the form of open, closed and multiple choice questions, sent by e-mail to 5 (five) professionals/archivists, whose subjects in this study are representatives of the archives of the Central Archive of the Federal University of Pará; of the Public Archive of the State of Pará; of the Federal University of Minas Gerais; of the Federal University of Bahia; and from the Federal University of Paraná. The results showed that the indexing procedures that are being used in the permanent archives of the researched institutions are characterized by the lack of pre- defined guidelines for indexing; absence of elaboration of a manual to index; little use of  Software to index and the field to include terms; as they also use few cross-references; indexing time is not evaluated; little use of catalogs and/or databases; the number of assigned terms is not measured; do not have a degree of specificity; uses little controlled language; professionals/archivists have no knowledge of indexing instruments and have little automatic help in the process of permanent collections. These indications allow us to conclude that: The investigated public institutions do not adopt indexing procedures, as they are delimited in this process, the most evident cause of which is the absence of a policy focused on this activity, which ultimately results in little use and lack knowledge of archival tools. It was also found that these same institutions use forms of information representation for their search and retrieval, having as methodological-theoretical parameter to assist the archivist two pertinent tools: (a) the fundamentals of Information Science, and (b) NOBRADE, based on the premises of international norms, to describe the documents in the researched collections.

  • “LITTLE SCIENCE” vs “BIG SCIENCE” IN NORTHERN BRAZIL: a study on the academic evolution of the Amazon Federal Institutes

  • Data: 25/01/2021
  • Mostrar Resumo
  • This study aims to investigate the main characteristics of the scientific production of the Federal Institutes (FIs) of the Northern Region in their evolution towards the "Big Science", or "Mainstream" science, in order to visualize their performance in knowledge production and human capital, in the context of the difficulties of an academically and economically peripheral region. It aims to examine, specifically, from the concepts of Big Science, Center-Periphery and the types of Capital, the scientific evolution of the FIs in Northern Brazil; to contextualize the historical facts of the FIs and socioeconomic facts of the Region, which sustain its condition of academic periphery in the Brazilian global and national system; to identify and analyze indicators of scientific production for evaluation of scientific performance and its potential to contribute to the sustainable development of the region. The research is characterized as a case study, using bibliometric and scientometric indicators and economic data. In scientific capital, 890 articles and 2,758 citations were retrieved from the period 2009 to 2019. The results indicated a cumulative linear growth of 46% over the analyzed period. The most prevalent language was English, with 70.1% in publications. A balanced trend of publications in national and international journals was noted (51.5% versus 48.5%, respectively). The impact of the journals was ranked as high impact (Q1=21%), medium impact (Q2=21%), low impact (Q3=21% and Q4=17%) and no ranking 20%. In social capital, regional collaboration had the highest occurrence with institutions in the North Region and Southeast Region, and internationally with the United States. In intellectual capital, the Northern FIs presented the lowest qualification index in relation to the Southeastern FIs (5.2% against 36.3%). In economic capital, the data indicated that the Northern FIs and their region received the lowest investments for education, for research, and for S&T. It was concluded that low investments (dominant capital) prevent FIs from reaching a level of scientific maturity capable of driving the transition from local to global science.

  • Informational behavior studies are dedicated to identify information needs, the way of searching and the use of information by individuals from the point of view of information as a social construction, of the individual as a user and also a provider of information in the cognitive perspective. We sought to know the information behavior of the residents of Ophir Loyola Hospital through qualitative case study research, with the participation of 57 health professionals, medical and non-medical residents, who answered an electronic questionnaire in order to know their information needs, search behavior and use of information in the hospital routine based on an integrative model validated in Information Science and adapted to the study. The results were treated by analyzing the categories and showed that the residents’ information needs refer to patient care. The main feelings that accompany them when they perceive the information need are: curiosity, anxiety and uncertainty. The search for information occurs at the moment when residents feel the need. Databases are the sources of information they seek most often and those that residents trust most. The use of information retrieved by residents is for the understanding of the clinical problem in different specialties. The integrative model used allowed the achievement of the proposed objectives and the elaboration of a diagram of the residents’ information behavior.

  • Data: 24/03/2020
  • Mostrar Resumo
  • This research addresses the theme of information representation in Archives and Libraries from the analysis of the descriptive elements pointed out in the ISAD (G) standards and in the first chapter of AACR2. The main question for the elaboration of this research is: do the standards for archival description and cataloging of libraries dialogue with respect to the descriptive process? Based on this question, the general objective of this work is to identify and present the convergent and divergent points of information representation in archives and libraries based on the rules of archival description and library cataloging. Specific objectives are also to present the archival description and the representation of information in libraries as representation processes; categorize the descriptive elements found in ISAD (G) and AACR2 and compare these elements. This work observes, in particular, the descriptive items presented by the two manuals according to the categories established through Content Analysis, a methodology established for the development of the analysis of the two standards. It can be seen within the context presented, the trajectory of the description and cataloging processes until the conception of the principles considered fundamental for the development of internationally recognized standards and it is also noted that the Representation of information in Archives and Libraries is linked to processes which demand intellectual work from the professionals involved and have as their main objectives the possibility of organization and access to information. The Analysis of the Standards demonstrates the aspects regarding the texts of each one, going from the general context of both of them to the descriptive items occasionally found and lists them within the established categories, highlighting the similarities of elements considered essential for the development of descriptions. Finally, it considers that the two areas dialogue both in terms of processes and in the structural parameters of content to be applied by their descriptive standards and what should be reflected in their results.

  • Investigating the practice of reading in the school universe is fundamental because it dialogues with all disciplines, in order to point to the interdisciplinary perspective, and, therefore, with the integral formation of the student as subject of his own reading of the world and the text. properly. The theme, namely, “the meanings constructed about reading by the school community in the elementary school of the city of Alenquer-PA”, seeks to understand the perception about reading in the schools Monteiro Lobato State School and the Municipal School of Elementary School Jorge Sadala in order to reflect the practice and perspective for the formation of readers in the school space. This is a bibliographical, documentary and field research, qualitative and quantitative. Therefore, it brings the senses built by the school community in relation to reading in the teaching-learning process of students, in 02 public elementary schools, as well as a mapping of actions aimed at encouraging reading in the city of Alenquer. Such study has as central theoretical support the theses of Paulo Freire (2015) and VYGOTSKY (1995) that support a critical reading about the world and the act of reading. The research indicates disarticulation of reading policies in schools, as well as the lack of continuous reading incentive projects that fundamentally can involve students. In addition to a lack of connection between city projects taking place in schools, lack of guidelines and continuing education for teachers working in the reading rooms and libraries of the city. The perception of the school community about reading demonstrates the importance of reading practice for the education of students, teachers and the community, but it is still a little cultivated practice in schools, since the reading incentive projects suffer greater articulation with each other.

  • THE FLOW AND REPRESENTATION OF INFORMATION IN THE NATIONAL INVENTORY OF CULTURAL REFERENCES: the case of Auto do Círio and the registration of Círio as Intangible Cultural Heritage in Belém / PA

  • Data: 28/02/2020
  • Mostrar Resumo
  • Elaborated and used by the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN), the National Inventory of Cultural References (INRC) is a research methodology for the registration of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Brazil since 2000 and is based on the law of registration and recognition of this type of heritage: Decree-Law 3.551 / 2000. In 2004, Círio de Nazaré, held in Belém, capital of the State of Pará, officially since 1793 was the first to use this methodology for the category of the register book of Celebrations. This celebration involves not only the capital and its metropolitan region but expands to several other cities in the state and other regions of Brazil. Being held in honor of Our Lady of Nazareth, the Círio has strong popular participation, becoming one of the great symbols of manifestation coming from the people and their interaction with the sacred. This research aims to analyze the applicability of this methodology in Círio de Nazaré and the documentary basis of the process that results in the production of a representation of the identified Intangible Cultural Heritage, specifically the content of the documents referring to the spectacle Auto do Círio, performed by the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) since 1993 and its representation within the registry. Seeking to identify the flow of information and mediations that occur in the heritage and its social range of meanings and symbols, the study explores the social context of the term “Cultural Heritage”, its construction and its informational side in relation to the user. Based on the information contained in the documents present in the Archive of the Superintendence of IPHAN in Pará (Forms, Filled Questionnaires, Photographs and Newspapers) and the INRC product: The Dossier Círio (2006). The results present the documentary basis of the INRC Círio process and the survey of information about Auto do Círio within the process.

  • Addresses the recovery of part of the memory of the classical costumes of the Pará theater, with the aim of contributing to the studies of descriptive representation of photographic services of theater costumes. And, for that, delimit them with the following objectives: a) discourse on the context of the organization and representation of information; b) address a descriptive representation of photographic images; c) portray a history of Pará's theater and its costumes; d) to analyze the descriptive representation of the collection of classical costumes in Pará between 1950 and 1960. For this, bibliographic research was carried out, using a qualitative approach of an exploratory nature, with data obtained from different bibliographic resources, in addition to documentary research, in which photographs of paraense theater costumes were analyzed. The results showed that, the constitution of the cataloging of the costume collection of theatrical pieces performed by theater groups from Belém of Pará, will play an important role as a documentary record of performances once performed, regardless of, the role of memory, since, by transforming the theater plays into visual products, it will allow the research, the reconstruction of the plays and costumes, in the most faithful way possible. It is concluded that from this research a concrete possibility was generated for the recovery and cataloging of part of the photographic collections of the costumes of plays staged in the Pará theater of the 50s and 60s.

  • Information Treatment investigates the support and subject dimensions that make up the document, seeking to formulate access points and representations that enable the relationship between user x information x document in different information units. In this sense, this research arises from the concern about the informational treatment of the Museum of the Historical and Geographic Institute of Pará (MIHGP), located in the downtown of Belém - PA, in which weaknesses in the processes of organization and representation of information have already been observed. This research seeks to analyze the Information Treatment of MIHGP, focusing on the catalog card, using, in an interdisciplinary way, conceptual and methodological elements of the Organization of Knowledge and Information. It is a descriptive and experimental research, using direct observation as a methodological strategy. The methodological procedures were configured as: the selection of bibliographies related to the Organization of Knowledge and Information and the Subject and Descriptive Treatment; construction of levels of informational treatment, in the descriptive and thematic dimensions, from the analysis of these bibliographies; the adequacy of the fields of the catalog to the established levels; observation of the levels reached by the research instrument, outlining strengths and weaknesses. It was noticed in the results that the informational treatment reached satisfactory levels in the descriptive sphere, by enabling essential functions of investigation of the support of the objects of the MIHGP. However, the research instrument did not reach acceptable levels of subject treatment, as it did not allow indexing terms related to the content of the document and the identification of the association between owners and the objects of the MIHGP. As a solution to these problems, we sought to reformulate this instrument using the Tainacan software, using new guidelines and processes present in the field of Archivology, Museology and Information Science.

  • Study on Digital Curation inserted in the context of institutional repositories of federal universities, which promotes the management of the digital object throughout its life cycle, with the general objective of contributing to the theme of digital curation in institutional repositories. For this, the specific objectives are: a) to investigate in the scientific literature about institutional repositories and digital curation; b) identify forms of digital curation applied to institutional repositories; c) reflect on the digital curation practices developed for the management of digital objects in the institutional repositories of federal universities. From this, as a methodology, bibliographic, documentary and descriptive research was adopted, with a quantitative approach to data collection and a qualitative approach to data analysis; it is characterized as a multiple case study, focusing on the digital curation practices used in the institutional repositories of Brazilian universities, based on the actions of the Digital Curation Center life cycle. As a technique, extensive direct observation on the repository sites was used and as a data collection instrument, the questionnaire applied to the managers of the investigated repositories. As a result, it was observed that the institutional repositories of the Brazilian universities studied make little use of Digital Curation as a way of monitoring the management of their digital objects, as well as the actions of the digital life cycle. Finally, it was concluded that the digital curation practices can be used in the institutional repositories of universities, in order to give more quality to the scientific information produced and that are made available through digital objects

  • Information and Communication Technologies, as teaching resources, are being increasingly inserted in Education. The computer and the Internet have provided students with varied learning possibilities. However, these technologies are not used effectively. In general, the student uses them for a limited set of tasks such as reading and viewing news on the Internet; sharing text, image or video; sending messages through applications and Online Social Networking Services. This simple use can contribute for the student to be inserted in Digital Exclusion environments. The Digital Exclusion consists of the lack of physical access to technologies, as well as the lack of skills to use them and the lack of benefits from the types of Internet use. Its causes are diverse and have been distinguished at three levels, where the 1st level refers to the lack of physical access to Information and Communication Technologies that can be caused by an individual's economic condition; the 2nd level is related to the individual's experience with these technologies; the 3rd level corresponds to not obtaining benefits from the types of Internet use. The objective of this research was to investigate the action of Digital Exclusion in Higher Education based on the student's skills in the use of Information and Communication Technologies. This investigation corresponded to a Case Study, being carried out at the State University of Pará (UEPA). One (1) sociodemographic questionnaire was applied to identify the student's profile including their age, sex, ethnicity, housing and family income and their use of Information and Communication Technologies as experience in years, frequency of use, possession of devices computational and Internet and 1 (one) practical test performed on the computer connected to the Internet, called the digital skills test. Its purpose was to assess the student's ability to operate computers, as well as his ability to search, locate, select and evaluate information on the Internet. The researched population was 84 (eighty-four) students from 4 (four) Undergraduate courses in Natural and Technological Sciences and Social Sciences and Education. Thus, from the results, it is a fact that the university student has skills problems in certain types of tasks performed through Information and Communication Technologies. This student does not explore all the resources that the computer and its technologies can offer. Operational tasks were solved efficiently. On the other hand, in informational tasks, the student demonstrated not to know advanced resources for the location of information. Considering that the way these tasks were performed is a reproduction of the way he uses technologies in his daily life, it is possible to state that the university student, in general, is not skilled with them. The effective use of Information and Communication Technologies in Higher Education can be hindered by problems of skills to explore the varied resources that these technologies can offer. This reality indicates that this student may be living in a Digital Exclusion environment.

  • Use of documentary languages in the context of institutional repositories of federal universities in the Northern Region of Brazil

  • Data: 27/02/2020

  • Study on the use of documentary languages in the context of university institutional repositories in the Northern Region of Brazil. It specifically aims to conceptualize Knowledge Organization and the paths that lead to the elaboration of documentary languages, as well as their characteristics and main types. Draw an overview of the Free Access movement, the crisis of traditional journals and the search for more freedom in accessing scientific texts, the context under which the repositories were developed. Demonstrate adherence to the free access movement and the first actions in its favor around the world and in Brazil, such as incentive actions by researchers and government agencies. It has a qualitative, explanatory approach, featuring a case study on the use of documentary languages in the standardization of representative terms of documents made available in university institutional repositories. The data collection instrument was configured in a semi-open online questionnaire, containing 23 questions, applied to the research subjects (librarians), one respondent from each repository. The 23 questions are divided into three macro analysis sessions, each aiming to observe a guiding aspect of the investigation: a) setting of the repository and the activities of the librarian, b) verifying the existence of an indexing policy and the use of documentary languages ; c) observe the aspects of the conceptual translation method adopted by the indexers. Eight questionnaires were sent, one per repository, and 100% (one hundred percent) responses were obtained. The analysis of the data was made from these answers, according to the categories that make up the macro analysis sessions, being a proportion of 8/1, that is, for each question 8 answers were analyzed, which made it possible to draw a profile of the document indexing activity in federal university digital repositories in the Northern Region. In this sense, it was observed that the use of documentary languages in the researched repositories is not yet unanimous, since the absence of a policy of indexing in libraries allows the free choice for the use or not of a controlled language, still prevailing the use of language natural or the use of it together with LDs. Another factor that reflects in the adoption of a documentary language is the particular character of the Amazon region, where the terms, concepts and spellings vary, which, commonly, are not contemplated by the languages normally adopted, as these are more general and not specific to attend the demand of professionals who work with the indexing of documents generated by research in the region. It was concluded that, despite the prevalence of natural language, the indexers have an understanding of the importance of terminological control and the processes that involve it, such as technical reading and the adequacy of cross-references. However, there is still a lack of libraries to adopt a guiding policy on indexing, which helps professionals to maintain a standardized catalog, which can be recovered in an exhaustive manner, be it from physical or digital collections.

  • The general objective of the research was to analyze the scientific production of the Institute of Health Sciences (ICS) of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) in Belém, from the survey of 172 dissertations defended in the Postgraduate Programs of Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Brazil from 2010 to 2016. The specific objectives were: characterize the UFPA Graduate Health Programs, map the dissertation documents defended in the Graduate Programs, extract the metadata for standardization and measurement application and present the co-occurrence networks of keywords and health research topics, as well as the guidelines. The theoretical framework of the research was delineated in the literature and concepts of scientific production and productivism, as well as bibliometric conceptions, as well as the importance of bibliometric indicators such as the use of keyword co-occurrence networks, and the laws from Bradford, Zipf and Lotka. Regarding its nature, this research is characterized as applied, whose approach was qualitative and quantitative, with emphasis on document analysis and measurement of scientific production in health. Documentary analysis used a bibliometric form with variables such as year of publication, author, title, advisor and keywords. The metadata was then organized into a sheet in the Excel spreadsheet editor, where the data was tabulated and processed in VOSviewer software, version 1.6.11. The analysis of dissertations on Health Science, especially Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, made it possible to highlight in academic research the interdisciplinary thematic areas, verified by the following keywords: “Etidronic acid”, “Dental adhesives”, “Dentine”, “Orthodontics ”, “Medicinal plants”, “Oxidative stress”, “Antimicrobial activity”. The research identified that bibliometrics contributes to the process of evaluating scientific production in health studies, as it can organize, map, systematize and measure information in this field of study.

  • Data: 27/02/2020
  • Mostrar Resumo
  • The object of study is to index the institutional repositories of the North Network (NORTE / RIAA), with the theme of Knowledge Organization and Representation. It is situated in the contemporary context of Information Science, Organization and Representation of Information and Knowledge, centered on the social paradigm (users / information). Its general objective is to collaborate with discussions for the Knowledge Organization area based on
    reflections on Indexing in institutional repositories, and as specific objectives: to study the concepts of knowledge organization and indexing in institutional digital repositories; investigate the indexation process carried out in the Norte / RIAA repositories, through a questionnaire and diagnose the representation standards by indexing, adopted in the Norte / RIAA Institutions. Given this, the research has a descriptive character, with a qualitative approach. Using as method, the study of multiple cases, as the institutions that make up the North/RIAA will be analyzed. The research universe comprises all thirteen 13 institutions that are part of the Network. As for the data collection instrument, the semi-structured questionnaire was used, applied using the google docs form in November 2019, based on the questionnaire by Gomes (2015) and the main indexing theories of: Lancaster (2004), Rubi (2008, 2009), Fujita and Gil Leiva (2009), Dias e Naves (2013), Fujita (2016), Fujita et al. (2016) and repositories from: Leite (2009), Leite et al. (2012), Costa and Leite (2017), Sayão et al. (2009), Shintaku and Meireles (2010). The main results were obtained: most of the North Network repositories are located in the State of Amazonas; all have at least one librarian on their technical team; use Dspace software; they do not have guidelines / policies or an indexing manual, they index specifically; use natural language; do not carry out indexation assessment; in the retrieval of information they use the Boolean operators and display the results in a long form and by author and title. It was concluded that the repositories must recognize the importance of the indexing policy or guidelines for the standardization of information in the repositories; create own vocabulary from the combination of natural and controlled language; provide more effective training to the entire IR team; evaluate indexing in the repositories. This will provide information retrieval effectively and efficiently to all users of the North Network.

  • Accessibility allows the safe and autonomous use of urban, communicational, informational and technological structures by people with disabilities and reduced mobility. Digital accessibility on university library websites ensures the right and autonomy in accessing information on the web for everyone, especially people with disabilities, which is provided for in several laws. Given this panorama, the research problem is: “Does the homepage of the UFPA Central Library website meet the accessibility requirements for W3C web content, allowing blind people using NVDA to access the information contained therein”? For this, the general objective was outlined: To analyze the digital accessibility of the homepage of the Central Library of UFPA, with regard to access to information, taking as parameters the accessibility guidelines for web content (WCAG) 2.1 and the user experience blind in interacting with the web using the NVDA screen reader. The specific objectives were: a) Identify items that compromise the accessibility of the homepage of the UFPA Central Library website, pointed out by the automatic evaluator WAVE; b) Check the browsing experience of the blind user using NVDA with the homepage of the BC / UFPA website, accessing information about the products and services available; c) Verify the compliance of the accessibility guidelines for web content 2.1 according to the results of the WAVE evaluation and tests with blind users using NVDA. This research had as methodology a descriptive case study. A bibliographic and documentary research was carried out, followed by an analysis of the digital accessibility of the homepage of the UFPA Central Library website, with the application of three evaluation methods: automatic with the WAVE software, tests with blind users using NVDA and a satisfaction interview.The results showed that the digital accessibility of the BC / UFPA website's homepage is compromised in the perceptible, operable, understandable and robust aspects. The WAVE software identified accessibility errors that prevent access to information about digital products and services through images without alternative text, decorative images without null, images used as links without proper description, empty links, forms and buttons without labels. Tests with blind students ratify the errors pointed out by WAVE and also show problems of digital accessibility related to usability, information architecture, good accessibility practices, proficiency in the use of NVDA, lack of predictability and clarity, among others. Causing users disorientation, giving up, discouragement, tiredness etc. It is concluded that analyzing the digital accessibility of the BC / UFPA website homepage was fundamental to verify the technological and human aspects necessary to guarantee democratization and autonomy in access to information from university library sites to blind students, who will automatically attend other categories of students. users. Attitudinal accessibility, WCAG attendance is necessary for the development of digital products and services with the perception of the disabled user so that they can meet their specificities of navigation, perception, understanding, operation, interaction, contribution and access to information on the web.

  • The Digital Repositories were created within the Information Age and open access for the scientific production context. They work as informational environments projected to store, maintain and spread data of digital origin or not. For diverse users, one of the attractive features in the use of digital environment, such as the repository, is that the information needed can be effectively found. For deaf people this is not different, considering that their needs when using the repository are often like those who hear. That way, this research intends to analyse the problem rising from the question: What is the perception of the deaf community of the Instituto Nacional de Educação de Surdos (INES – National Institute of Deaf Education) about the data findability in the Huet Digital Repository? Based within this horizon, this research main objective is to analyse the Huet Digital Repository data findability from the perspective of the INES deaf people community. Specifically, it intends to: a) link the concepts of Digital Repository, Data Findability and Deaf; b) identify the Huet Repository data findability characteristics from the Checklist use; c) describe the INES deaf community perception about the Huet Repository findability of digital objects for deaf people education. To fulfil such objectives the research is defined as descriptive, with a quali-quantitative approach that uses an electronic questionnaire, there is also a semistructured interview as a tool for data collection. The sample to which the questionnaire was applied consists of 11 deaf and non deaf INES teachers. The semistructured interview was applied to five (5) deaf and non deaf INES students. Both tools were adapted from a checklist for the data findability features of informational environments. results show that not all the data findability features are present in the Huet Repository. Some of them have solvable problems. Besides that, the INES deaf community indicates important issues that are able to improve the digital environment analysed, that way breaking barriers to minorities digital inclusion, a linguistic minority in this case. This research does not reach a conclusion; however, it expects to stir up the discussion about findability, taking into consideration the opinions of the users, mainly the users that are part of minorities with diverse characteristics, which must be heard as well as the deaf ones.

  • GENDER EXCLUSION IN SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF INFORMATION SCIENCE: a case study at the Federal University of Pará.

  • Data: 14/02/2020
  • Mostrar Resumo
  • This research investigates gender inequality in the access of women to Science and Technology (C&T) careers in higher education, at the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), Brazil. As a referent to C&T, this case study used statistical data from STEM courses (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). These courses are administrated at UFPA within two institutes: the Institute of Exact and Natural Sciences (ICEN) and the Institute of Technology (ITEC). All data was analyzed in light of gender theoretical categories, to identify differences in terms of the approval rates in admission exams, enrolment of undergraduates in STEM courses, successful graduation, participation in post graduation courses (MA and PHD levels), and the configuration of the academic team of professors at post graduation courses. We reviewed nine years of data, between 2011 and 2019. The results show that few women pursue careers in STEM professions. Data showed that from a total of 11,066 students, only 30% were women. There was also a low concentration of women in the academic team at postgraduate level in both institutes: 68 women to 321 men. Female student representation is worst in computer related courses, varying from 11% to 15%. However, courses related to "feminine categories" like aesthetics, food preparation, well-being and health, i.e. Architecture and Urbanism, Food Engineering, and Sanitary and Environmental Engineering, were dominated by women. Survival of undergraduate students is better in women, but in absolute numbers, male graduates overwhelm feminine presence. The longitudinal analysis following the nine-year term of this study, shows that the number of vocations in regard to computer technology is dropping in general, the number of girls entering STEM at UFPA stays constant or declining, but the number of boys is increasing comparatively. Even those fields "dominated by girls today" will cease to have such status in the short term. We conclude that in STEM courses at the UFPA, male-domination is so strong that gender inequality will persist for long, even in the presence of drastic measures today. Gender equality at the UFPA is a complex strongly rooted problem; nevertheless, it needs to be addressed at UFPA as a long term academic and social challenge.

  • It deals with Knowledge Management (KM) in University Libraries (BUs). The guiding question of this research was how to share tacit knowledge in the context of the Lourenço José Tavares Vieira da Silva library (BLJTVS) at the Federal Rural University of the Amazon (UFRA). The general objective was to analyze KM in the context of the Library of UFRA campus Belém. The specific objectives were to build a theoretical and methodological framework about KM in BUs, make a comparative analysis between the libraries of UFSC, UFRGS and UFRA and propose ways to GC in the UFRA library. The methodology used was exploratory with the application of the instrument for the diagnosis of GC in BUs, proposed by Castro (2005), in the six sectors that make up the BLJTVS. The results showed that there is no formal KM policy. It was also found that the lack of a formalized KM policy is not only a problem present in the Brazilian scenario, but also in other nations, as was evident from the analysis of published studies on the subject. It is recommended for the creation and implementation of KM in the context of BLJTVS to use the framework GC@ BU proposed by De Bem (2015). To promote organizational learning, creation and knowledge sharing at BLJTVS, the following techniques can be applied: community of practice, dissemination of relevant practices and exit interviews. The tools can also be used: yellow pages, concept maps and groupware. It concludes that it is essential the formal establishment of a KM policy and the adoption of techniques, tools and a collaborative system in cyberspace, which contributes to the sharing of knowledge in the context of BLJTVS. At the end, it is recommended to carry out studies on GG in the BUs of the other Brazilian IFES, and the most appropriate groupware should also be analyzed to promote collaboration between the BUs in Brazil.

  • Digital Platforms and the Platformization Effect: Introductory Aspects for Information Science

  • Data: 28/06/2019
  • Mostrar Resumo
  • The digital platforms are defined as software having at its base an extensible code, of modular architecture, which can be interconnected to a set of interfaces, allowing access to third parties (users, developers, partners, providers) from a business model that creates or affects its associated value chain and, therefore, also affects the human community articulated in a network within that value chain. The effects resulting from the digital platforms movements are called platformization; population changes inserted in the value chains affected by the platform, ranging from creation and changes in people's routines to the development of diverse cultures and forms of relationship and social representation. Then, this research aims to analyze what may be the development of studies and conceptualizations on digital platforms and the effect of platformization in Information Science (IC). To achieve this goal, a bibliographical research was developed focusing on the following specific objectives:

     a) to investigate in the literature the most relevant conceptual aspects about platforms and platformization; b) to develop an interdisciplinary dialogue regarding concepts of digital platform among the fields of Computer Science, Communication, Administration and Economics; c) Identify the definitions and approaches of IC on digital platform and platformization, and d) to describe the effects of platformization, aiming its future as a research field for the IC. The review included 72 researches obtained on data basis of the BRAPCI and Lisa, since 2000 to 2018. They were observed some disagreement about platform concepts, implying a tenuous line among the areas of knowledge regarding effect of digital platforms in Information Society, from which the platformization phenomenon is being explored in the IC. So, it is concluded that the IC, as an interdisciplinary field, may develop a protagonist role in this area, considering the sociotechnical nature of this phenomenon and its global impact on the Information Society.

  • Portal CAPES is a source of scientific information that was created as a solution for costing and democratization access to science publications in Brazil. Based on data collected by CAPES Georeferenced Information System, we noticed there was a low use of the portal at the Federal Institute of Education Science and Technology of Pará (IFPA) in relation to other federal institutions. Based on this observation, this project analyze the perception of users of the Portal CAPES at IFPA, based on specific determinants proposed by the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), to find explanations about the low use of the Portal, and how researchers users interact with the system, their difficulties and if their perception of usefulness for this audience in an efficient and effective manner. We describe the development of online scientific publication, the history of science and technology policies in Brazil, and the issues of democratization of access to scientific production. Then we explain the TAM model to apply it to the research. This is a case study, based on the collection of online questionnaires with closed questions, applies to a group of 1200 effective IFPA faculty members, and semi-structured interviews with coordinators of the Institute's postgraduate courses.

  • People who have visual disabilities find many barriers to access to
    information, such as the technical-scientific literature, widely used by
    university students, because the lack of accessible bibliographic
    material is still big. This research intends to analyze the problematic around
    the technical-scientific literature access by blind students of Federal
    University of Pará. The general objective is to investigate the processes that
    involve the technical-scientific literature access by blind students of Federal
    University of Pará. The specifics are: a) To promote a discussion about the
    mediation of information to people with disabilities as a field of study in
    information science; b) To discuss about legal aspects and actions related to
    access to information for people with disabilities; c) To investigate the
    barriers and strategies for access to the technical-scientific literature of the
    blind students of Federal University of Pará; d) To investigate the processes
    that involve the mediation of the information for the technical-scientific
    literature access by blind students of Federal University of Pará. This is an
    exploratory study in which a case study will be carried out with theoretical
    contributions of the bibliographical survey and field research with data
    collection instruments through documents and interviews that can support the
    study. The interviews were taken to the blind Federal University of Pará
    students and the librarians who work in the Braille Space of the Central
    Library.
    Based on the collected data, categories of analysis were established based on
    the declarations issued by the social subjects involved in comparison with the
    literature of the area of Information Science and those related to people with
    disabilities. The results show that
    in the process that involves access to the technical-scientific literature by blind
    FUPA students there are barriers in the scope of the student-teacher
    relationship and others related to the availability of bibliographical material in
    an accessible format. These barriers have negative consequences on the
    performance of these students in the development of their academic activities,
    as in the concept of the disciplines. It is concluded that overcoming these
    barriers depends on efforts already underway and more investments in factors
    with the potential to eliminate or overcome them as human resources,
    technology and interinstitutional partnerships.

De modo geral, objetiva analisar, em uma perspectiva interdisciplinar e transversalizada, os processos que envolvem a informação no saber e no fazer desses indivíduos que trabalham no Ver-o-Peso. Para cumprir tal objetivo utiliza como metodologia a pesquisa bibliográfica e a pesquisa de campo, fundamentando-se em uma abordagem qualitativa e fazendo uso de instrumentos de pesquisa como entrevistas semiestruturadas e a câmera fotográfica. Dos dados levantados em campo, somados ao referencial teórico adotado, resultaram o estabelecimento de 11 categorias de análise e a apresentação de um fluxo da informação no contexto da atividades das (os) erveiras (os). Mostra que a oralidade é o meio pelo qual as (os) erveiras (os) têm se utilizado para transmitir seus conhecimentos aos possíveis sucessores. As (os) filhas (os) ou os ajudantes das (os) erveiras (os) absorvem as informações auxiliando em casa e/ou no cotidiano do trabalho no Ver-o-Peso, as armazenam na memória e diante de uma necessidade desencadeiam um processo mental de recuperação de informações para o uso efetivo. Conclui que entender as práticas informacionais imbricadas no dia a dia de pessoas que detém conhecimentos tradicionais, pode subsidiar condições que favoreçam a continuidade desses conhecimentos estruturados por um legado de informações transmitidas no movimento das gerações e, neste caso, numa das feiras populares mais famosas do Brasil: a do Ver-o-Peso.

  • Mostrar Resumo
  • Analisa a linguagem natural de teses e dissertações do Programa de Educação em Ciências e Matemática (PPGECM), da Universidade Federal do Pará (UFPA), com o objetivo de refletir sobre o uso das terminologias e linguagens documentárias para representação da informação no domínio das Ciências Matemáticas, adotadas no catálogo do Sistema Integrado de Bibliotecas (SIBI), da UFPA, e em linguagens documentárias que representem a área. Para isso, foi realizada pesquisa de cunho bibliográfico e documental, sendo um estudo exploratório com abordagem qualitativa. Foi dividida em quatro etapas: a) análise da bibliografia; b) identificação das teses e dissertações do PPGECM, no período de 2013-2017; c) elaboração de formulário eletrônico para coleta dos dados; d) análise da linguagem natural encontrada e sua relação com o catálogo do SIBI/UFPA e com as linguagens documentárias: Subject Headings da Library of Congress (LCSH) e o Tesauro Ciências Matemáticas (TESAMAT). Como resultado, na análise terminológica das teses e dissertações, constatou-se que os termos atribuídos nas palavras-chave na linguagem natural (306) foram em maior quantidade quando comparados aos termos indexados, retirados das linguagens documentárias (210), os quais foram inseridos no SIBI-UFPA. Isso sugere uma possível diretriz no processo de indexação quanto ao grau de especificidade, com baixa exaustividade na identificação dos assuntos nas linguagens documentárias. Contudo, na pesquisa não foi identificado nenhum documento com a política de indexação definida no SIBI-UFPA. Por outro lado, notou-se que as escolhas dos termos em linguagem natural foram, na sua maioria, identificadas na LCSH, o que demonstra que os autores das teses e dissertações analisadas representam de forma significativa seus temas, evidenciando o conhecimento de conceitos sobre a terminologia indicada na sua área. Ainda foi possível identificar que o cabeçalho “Matemática – Estudo e ensino” foi o que teve maior representatividade nos documentos analisados, o que sugere uma captura terminológica mais genérica sobre o tema desta pesquisa, tendo sido encontrados na LCSH e no TESAMAT. Finalmente, conclui-se pela importância dos estudos sobre as linguagens documentárias para garantir a representação do escopo do documento, contando nas práxis da indexação e, com instrumentos específicos para a determinação do assunto, particularizando as pesquisas científicas, a fim de evitar mais de uma interpretação nas práticas documentárias.

  • Indexation is one of the activities carried out in libraries for the thematic organization of information. Through this activity, librarians extract subjects from documents to represent them thematically, in this way, the users have access to the desired document through the information retrieval. Considering that the indexation evaluation is essential to provide more quality to its process, and to allow an efficient retrieval of information for users, it is proposed to conduct the evaluation of the quality of the indexation made in the documents of the Biological, Human, and Engineering Sciences areas from UFPA libraries, in the completeness and specificity aspects, through the information retrieval in the online catalog by the recall and precision elements, from the users’ point of view. This research aimed at contributing with theoretical and practical subsidies for the area of Thematic Processing of Data, based on a research on the evaluation of the quality of indexation, through the elements of completeness and specificity for the information retrieval recall and accuracy. The specific objectives were: a) To reflect on the indexation issue: theoretical and conceptual aspects, purposes, stages, instruments, as well as the inherent factors of its policy and evaluation by the information retrieval; b) To obtain a relevant judgment and opinions on the documents retrieved in the search of a subject in the catalog of the library system of UFPA, through the application of interviews with users of three undergraduate courses, in Belém campus; c) To check the levels of completeness and specificity in the indexation from the recall rates and accuracy in the information retrieval, in order to evaluate the quality of the indexation. As a methodological procedure, it was applied a semi-structured interview with 55 users of the UFPA library system, who were undergraduate students from the Biology, Psychology and Civil Engineering courses, in Belém campus, representing respectively the Biological, Human Sciences and Engineering Sciences areas. For the data analysis, it was used the categories of completeness and specificity, referring to the indexing process, and of recall and precision, which are regarding the information retrieval by subject. The results showed that the indexation of the analyzed documents of the three courses was considered satisfactory, mainly in the Biology course, in which a higher quality of the indexation was verified, since relevant documents were recovered with few irrelevant ones. However, for a higher quality in the courses of Psychology and Civil Engineering, it is necessary to elaborate guidelines for the indexation and to fix them in an indexation policy. It is concluded that evaluating the indexation through the information retrieval, including the subjects that belong to the documentary cycle, it becomes essential when seeking improvements for the process, since they can improve the representation and information retrieval through their feedback, showing what is desired for each specific area of the documents treated, as well as allowing the adequacy of the indexing according to the context of each library.

  • The representation of information in archives is understood as a process of organization of information in archival environments, proper to the entire process of treatment and organization of information is constituted by the identification, classification and description of documents (YAKEL, 2013; BARROS, 2014, 2015 (2006). These phases originate products such as lists, Tables of Temporality, Guides, inventories, Catalogs, among other instruments, with the purpose of representing the information that is in the documents and archive. In this research the objective is to deal with the aspects inherent to the Archival Description, its normative aspects from the International Concil of Archives - ICA (International Council of Archives). For this, a description and revision of the description norms and official documents, resolutions and opinions related to the Description, generated by the ICA will be made.

  • As Ontologias na Perspectiva da Teoria do Conceito e da Semiótica Discursiva: aspectos teórico-conceituais

  • Data: 07/05/2019
  • Mostrar Resumo
  • A produção cada vez maior de informação traz consigo a necessidade de aprimoramento dos sistemas de organização do conhecimento. Diante dessa situação, a Ciência da Informação (CI) busca maneiras de aperfeiçoar esses sistemas tendo em vista a perspectiva de seus usuários, ou seja, considerando que há um indivíduo inserido numa sociedade e que, por determinados motivos, necessita recuperar uma informação. Assim, o presente trabalho visa a esse mesmo objetivo, realizando um estudo teórico de ontologias, que são sistemas de organização e representação do conhecimento que trabalham com domínios de conhecimento, agrupando os conceitos que compõem esses domínios em classes e explicitando as relações existentes entre eles. A pesquisa, então, partiu da premissa de que as ontologias podem ter na Teoria do Conceito de Ingetraut  Dahlberg uma base segura para serem construídas, de maneira que a informação é entendida por uma perspectiva semântica. No entanto, formulou-se a hipótese de que, caso as ontologias tomassem como fundamento o ferramental teórico da Semiótica Discursiva, seria possível obter maior subsídio teórico e, consequentemente, possibilitar a construção de ontologias mais eficazes, considerando que a abordagem da informação como discurso atua a partir dos fundamentos do fenômeno da significação, ou seja, é mais aprofundada que a abordagem semântica através da qual as ontologias são atualmente construídas. Assim, procurou-se responder à seguinte questão-foco: como a Semiótica Discursiva pode contribuir para a compreensão e construção de ontologias? Diante disso, a pesquisa, bibliográfica e descritiva, foi realizada em quatro fases: a primeira, de revisão bibliográfica; a segunda, cujo objetivo foi entender como a Teoria do Conceito se relaciona à estrutura e construção das ontologias e como essa mesma estrutura pode se adequar aos conceitos trazidos pela Semiótica Discursiva; a terceira, com o desenvolvimento de duas ontologias, uma com base na Teoria do Conceito e outra com base na Semiótica; e a quarta, em que foram comparadas as duas abordagens teóricas e as duas ontologias, procurando destacar as diferenças e similaridades existentes entre elas. Ao fim, concluiu-se que a hipótese formulada é apenas em parte válida: as ontologias fundamentadas na Semiótica Discursiva, apesar de poderem ser construídas, não são realmente viáveis, porém essa disciplina certamente contribui para entender melhor esses sistemas de organização em sua estrutura e no que concerne aos conceitos que são neles inseridos.

  • MEDIATION OF INFORMATION IN SOCIAL NETWORKS: a study on the engagement of users of the UFPA  Central Library on Facebook
  • Data: 14/09/2018
  • Mostrar Resumo
  • The study addresses the use of social networks as tools for mediation of information, enabling the interaction and participation of users in this process and highlighting the ways in which users engage more in Facebook of the UFPA Central Library. With the advancement of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the development of virtual spaces, University Libraries (BU's) - as well as libraries in general - have undergone a process of resignification in the face of this new context. This means that the new possibilities of mediated information emerged through a more dynamic, interactive and connected process - since cyberspace allowed the migration of information flows to digital environments. In addition, it reports how information mediation issues can be important for the development of the Information Society, in relation to social, cultural, scientific-educational and informational aspects. Thus, among the contributions of the new technologies, the emergence of the web, computers and the Internet as tools that have propelled the information mediation process, enabling the development of a more egalitarian, informed society capable of disseminating knowledge that will reach future generations. In turn, the research is characterized as descriptive, obtaining as a guideline a unique case study, with quantitative-qualitative and experimental nature. In addition, as for the data collection and analysis procedure, the study is directed through the categorization of publications in the Facebook fanpage of the UFPA Central Library, the analytical metrics of postings and the analysis of content of the interactions and interlocutions of the users with the page . The research sample is comprised in the periods from January to June 2018, with the possibility of including isolated samples from other periods of action for discussion purposes and study results. As a result, the study describes, in a descriptive way, the publications made within the delimited period, showing which types of actions most generate interactions in the information mediation process, as well as exposing users' conversations in comments, Messenger, Checkin and evaluations. In general, some samples, such as those of categories F, Q, P and S, showed a higher index of interaction and efficiency, however, it was found that the other publications presented and the interactions observed in the interlocutions are also within acceptable range, effectiveness and consistency. Finally, it was concluded that, in addition to recognizing the importance of the use of Facebook in libraries, it is necessary that there be actions aimed at understanding the importance of knowing the efficiency parameters of these activities, such as the metrics and interlocutions observed. Thus, using such data allowed the UFPA Central Library to mediate information on Facebook in an efficient, interactive and constructive manner.
