Seleção de um software de catalogação para um acervo especializado em língua alemã

Abstract

This article reports the experience of the practice in a project participating of the Bolsa de Iniciação Acadêmica at the University XXXXX, from April 2020 to March 2021. In order to enable the work during the social distance, an analysis of five cataloging softwares was carried out: Elysio, Koha, Librarything, Minibiblio and Biblivre. This evaluation aimed to prepare the work of cataloguing the collection in the teachers' room of the referred higher education institution, composed of about 700 items, since the sanitary measures imposed by the Coronavirus made cataloguing impossible. Another work done was the entering of the metadata from the collection items (from a list resulting from a previous organization), in a Google spreadsheet for future use. These activities aimed to enable the students to continue, remotely, the planned work even during their social distance. After evaluating the software, the Biblivre program was chosen, with which the data will be registered after the return to the presential activities. This choice is based on its installation simplicity and use for automated cataloguing. Finally, we present the interface of this software as well as discuss its possibilities.
