Mediação e competência em informação: proposições para a construção de um perfil de bibliotecário protagonista

Abstract

Presents propositions, from a research project in progress for the development of a protagonist librarian profile, with the subsidies the theoretical and conceptual constructs of mediation and information literacy. Employs as a methodological resource review of literature classics and contemporary authors on the thematic focus as well as the teaching experience in the discipline of information services. We conclude that to understand the need to integrate multiple knowledge using the concepts of information mediation, developing a set of knowledge and skills (skills), the librarian may feel increasingly prepared to meet the needs of users, and this shape, feel protagonist of their work activities, preparing users to become progressively independent in accessing and using the information they need, thus promoting actions that benefit everyone, librarians and users of information services.
