O papel da Biblioteca Universitária no processo de ensino-aprendizagem dos discentes do Curso de Biblioteconomia da UFC

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the role of the University Library in the teaching–learning process of students enrolled in the Library Science program at the UFC. The methodological approach included a bibliographic study using databases such as Pergamum UFC, BRAPCI, Google Scholar, and scientific journals. In addition, this research is characterized as descriptive and exploratory and also as a case study, since it established as its target audience the Library Science students themselves, assessing their use of the resources and services available and their perceptions of the University Library’s contribution to their academic training. Data collection was conducted through an electronic form, which was sent to students via Google Forms. The results indicate that, although the University Library plays its role in supporting the teaching–learning process, it still has shortcomings that require improvement, particularly with regard to building a broader and more diverse collection and offering training and courses that foster personal and professional development. Furthermore, it is essential to develop strategies to strengthen the interaction between the University Library and students, enabling the creation of theoretical and practical experiences that contribute to their education. It is concluded that the University Library should pursue improvements to enhance its resources and services and to promote the teaching–learning process so that its presence becomes more noticeable and it can better engage Library Science students.
