Política de informação e repositório institucional para acervos audiovisuais em TV universitária

Abstract

This paper presents the first methodological stage of a post-graduation research on Information Science, which aims to develop an information policy to manage audiovisual collections on digital repository. Bibliographical research and documentary analysis made possible the discussion of the guidelines published by the International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions and the International Association of Sound and Audiovisual Archives, focusing on deciding the elements that will be proposed as audiovisual information policy. The participant observation was used as a procedure to collect data, by visiting a production department, taking notes, and also by talking to the crew of an academic television station placed in a federal university in Brazil. The prototype of an institutional repository was developed on DSpace, from watching three videos and analyzing its content, which was described on spreadsheets and, after that, its metadata had resulted in the initial proposal of communities and collections to a digital repository. Finally, this study concludes that it is possible to make inferences on the results of the post-graduation research through discussing some elements which should be taken into consideration at developing the information policy, such as: selection and development of audiovisual collections; metadata based on the Dublin Core format from DSpace; and guidelines to promote the access and use of the repository.
