Representação da informação em biblioteca pública: uma análise acerca da linguagem documentária utilizada na Biblioteca Pública Municipal Professor Nicácio em Bela Cruz

Abstract

The present work aims to contribute to scientific research on Information Representation and Documentary Language through bibliographical research and collect data from the records of copies of the Professor Nicácio Municipal Public Library (BPMPN). A bibliographic survey is used in the main Information Science databases to construct the epistemological corpus of this work, with an emphasis on Information Representation and Documentary Language; in addition to carrying out a field research/interview at BPMPN to collect data from the unit's records and how they are classified and organized. From this and the results obtained, it is possible to observe the importance of the appropriate use of Documentary Languages in the informational treatment of collections such as the BPMPN and the lack of a professional librarian to guide the management of the library and also in the cataloging, classification and other library processes. The importance of implementing an active and correctly executed Documentary Language is highlighted, to improve the information processing of the BPMPN collection to provide materials and support the training of competent readers and critical and responsible citizens.
