A Memória Científica e Tecnológica da Biblioteca do Instituto Nacional de Tecnologia (INT) sob a perspectiva do regime de informação

Abstract

The theme of this research is the scientific and technological memory of the Brazilian National Institute of Technology (INT) Library, under the perspective of information regime. Its importance is justified by the human need to counteract scientific and technological events, to accumulate traces of facts and feelings experienced by representations, materialized by artifacts and relics, such as documents and supporting materials. As research question, it is inquired whether the current information regime in the INT and in the technical-scientific library would reinforce the historical and scientific memory of the library's collection, and can it contribute to the consolidation of a scientific and technological memory of this institute. The library is responsible for scientific communication and also has a physical infrastructure and provides supporting facilities for archiving, preservation and access to its collection. Society and government hold informational capital and memory, whereas it controls or limits access to the technical and scientific collection of libraries through information regime. Therefore, the first research objective is to identify INT and INT Library information regime administrative acts. The second research objective is to organize a formal thinking scheme of INT's Technicalscientific Library under a theoretical model with three pillars of support: memory supports, human resources and infrastructure. The third research objective is to propose guidelines in the information policy of the INT Library that makes it possible to consolidate a scientific and technological memory of this institute.
