A era digital nas bibliotecas: um olhar sobre a plataforma Minha Biblioteca e suas inovações

Abstract

Digital libraries promote access to information facilitated by technology and can offer specialized services and support, with varied sources of information. This modality is increasingly present in the reality of today's libraries, often in conjunction with university and institutional libraries. Regarding the dynamics of use of digital libraries, Minha Biblioteca stands out as a business model that involves digital subscriptions and publisher catalogs, with a large collection from all areas of knowledge. The specific objectives of this research are to identify, based on the literature, the characteristics of digital libraries, and to present the Minha Biblioteca platform, with emphasis on its resources and functionalities. A descriptive study is carried out, based on a narrative literature review, aiming to present the concepts and exemplify through the analysis of the Minha Biblioteca platform. As a contribution to the study of digital libraries, the Minha Biblioteca proposal is relevant, mainly about the university context, in which digital books can, according to the Ministry of Education, be part of the basic bibliography required for educational institutions. The platform has reading resources that help with studies, such as bookmarks, notes, book searches, reading aloud, among others, and allows reading without an internet connection. It also offers personalized catalogs according to users' interests, which is essential for the quality of digital library services.
