Política de desenvolvimento de coleções na Biblioteca Pública Estadual Graciliano Ramos: uma análise dos pontos positivos e negativos

Abstract

The area of formation and development of collections must. be seen by the librarian as a bridge between the library, the user and the information, thus becoming a mediating agent for the dissemination of information. Thus, this work aimed to evaluate the satisfaction of the users of the Graciliano Ramos State Public Library (BPEGR) based on the Collection Development Policy, focusing on its relevance in helping the growth of the collection. For this, a questionnaire was applied containing 11 questions about the library collection, answered by 20 users selected at random. A 10-question questionnaire was also applied to the BPEGR director on BPEGR's collections development policy. A brief history of BPEGR is also covered in this work; going through the beginnings of the emergence and evolution of collections development policy, the importance of applying a case study or user. So that we can have a more effective diagnosis, in this way, we emphasize the importance of an efficient Collection Development Policy (PDC), contributing to the development of the theme, being able to contribute to its creation and expansion of the collection. The result of this research leads us to understand the importance of the existence of a selection committee for the renewal of the collection, since the committee evaluates its conditions. The lack of this commission at BPEGR makes this collection renewal impossible and harms the user. The bibliographic research brings up statements by some authors that will contribute to the understanding of the object of study developed in this monograph.
