Análise de políticas de informação em repositórios institucionais: bases para a gestão de acervos audiovisuais

Abstract

This paper presents a comparative analysis between ten digital repositories of federal universities in Brazil, focusing on verifying if there is an information policy to each one of them and if the policy has considered the management of audiovisual collections. It also presents an analysis based on each policy or other kind of normative document that regulates the institutional repositories chosen by considering the Ranking Web of Repositories. As a theoretical approach, some concepts of open access and digital repository are discussed from a short literature review on Library and Information Science. After that, some kind of audiovisual collections are presented as a proposal to be inserted in the structure of an institutional repository developed on DSpace, by considering the categories that were found from that analysis: academic cinema, television, sound, instructional videos, cultural and artistic productions and coverage of events. Finally, it concludes that the “soft” approach of digital repositories must be taken into consideration to manage audiovisual collections if compared to the “hard” one, as well as all decisions should be documented in an information policy.
