Relatório de Atividades Desenvolvidas No Projeto de Extensão do Memorial da UFC

Abstract

The increasing complexity of knowledge demands effective ways of retrieving information. The font catalog, an ancient instrument, plays a vital role as a communication channel, facilitating access and use of information by users. The experience of applying this knowledge, exploring databases and acting as an information mediator has become essential for the professional growth of the cataloguer. Furthermore, it plays an important role in preserving the university's institutional memory and promoting transparency in scientific research. The catalog is aligned with UFC's objectives of organizing, preserving and making available research, collections and collections related to the history of the Federal University of Ceará and its community. Saving users' time is an essential premise in modern librarianship, and this approach is central to the creation of the collective catalog. The project aims to keep the catalog of information sources always updated and enriched with relevant academic productions related to the Federal University of Ceará. Databases of public and private universities located in the State of Ceará were analyzed, seeking to collect documents such as theses, dissertations, articles and course completion works related to studies on the Federal University of Ceará. 215 new documents were added to the pre-catalogue, now totaling 295 items covering various areas of knowledge. The experience gained during the project provides learning for everyone involved, including practice and guidance from experienced professionals. This experience also helps to disseminate knowledge related to UFC, benefiting both the university community and society in general.
