As dificuldades na recuperação de histórias em quadrinhos em catálogos de bibliotecas

Abstract

Comic books are materials composed of both images and texts that together generate a narrative. Their presence in libraries opens the door to questioning their recovery in virtual catalogs in view of their past, where they were inferior and left out of library collections. . The main objective of this research is to investigate how the lack of a specific technical treatment affects the retrieval of comics in library catalogs, specifically it seeks to present the characteristics of comic books, present the importance of bibliographic control for the retrieval of information and discuss the possible difficulties in recovering comics at the Ceará State Library (BECE). The methodology used was bibliographical research, document analysis, an interview with the responsible librarian, a field visit and a search in the library's virtual catalog. All the research showed a need to know more about comics and also for more studies focused on the area.
