Mediação da informação em redes sociais: um estudo sobre a interação dos usuários da Biblioteca Central UFPA no Facebook
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2018-09-14) BARROS, Diego Bil Silva; FURTADO, Cassia Cordeiro; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0332630687796918
The study addresses the use of social networks as tools for mediation of information, enabling the interaction and participation of users in this process and highlighting the ways in which users engage more in Facebook of the UFPA Central Library. With the advancement of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) and the development of virtual spaces, University Libraries (BU's) - as well as libraries in general - have undergone a process of resignification in the face of this new context. This means that the new possibilities of mediated information emerged through a more dynamic, interactive and connected process - since cyberspace allowed the migration of information flows to digital environments. In addition, it reports how information mediation issues can be important for the development of the Information Society, in relation to social, cultural, scientific-educational and informational aspects. Thus, among the contributions of the new technologies, the emergence of the web, computers and the Internet as tools that have propelled the information mediation process, enabling the development of a more egalitarian, informed society capable of disseminating knowledge that will reach future generations. In turn, the research is characterized as descriptive, obtaining as a guideline a unique case study, with quantitative-qualitative and experimental nature. In addition, as for the data collection and analysis procedure, the study is directed through the categorization of publications in the Facebook fanpage of the UFPA Central Library, the analytical metrics of postings and the analysis of content of the interactions and interlocutions of the users with the page . The research sample is comprised in the periods from January to June 2018, with the possibility of including isolated samples from other periods of action for discussion purposes and study results. As a result, the study describes, in a descriptive way, the publications made within the delimited period, showing which types of actions most generate interactions in the information mediation process, as well as exposing users' conversations in comments, Messenger, Checkin and evaluations. In general, some samples, such as those of categories F, Q, P and S, showed a higher index of interaction and efficiency, however, it was found that the other publications presented and the interactions observed in the interlocutions are also within acceptable range, effectiveness and consistency. Finally, it was concluded that, in addition to recognizing the importance of the use of Facebook in libraries, it is necessary that there be actions aimed at understanding the importance of knowing the efficiency parameters of these activities, such as the metrics and interlocutions observed. Thus, using such data allowed the UFPA Central Library to mediate information on Facebook in an efficient, interactive and constructive manner.

Plataformas digitais e o efeito da plataformização: aspectos introdutórios na Ciência da Informação
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019) RODRIGUES, Andreia Cristina da Paixão; MORBACH, Joelma; http://lattes.cnpq.br/2722941200825071; BERRÍO-ZAPATA, Cristian; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0976534900847907; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7314-6487
The digital platforms are defined as software having at its base an extensible code, of modular architecture, which can be interconnected to a set of interfaces, allowing access to third parties (users, developers, partners, providers) from a business model that creates or affects its associated value chain and, therefore, also affects the human community articulated in a network within that value chain. The effects resulting from the digital platforms movements are called platformization; population changes inserted in the value chains affected by the platform, ranging from creation and changes in people's routines to the development of diverse cultures and forms of relationship and social representation. Then, this research aims to analyze what may be the development of studies and conceptualizations on digital platforms and the effect of platformization in Information Science (IC). To achieve this goal, a bibliographical research was developed focusing on the following specific objectives: a) to investigate in the literature the most relevant conceptual aspects about platforms and platformization; b) to develop an interdisciplinary dialogue regarding concepts of digital platform among the fields of Computer Science, Communication, Administration and Economics; c) Identify the definitions and approaches of IC on digital platform and platformization, and d) to describe the effects of platformization, aiming its future as a research field for the IC. The review included 67 researches obtained on data basis of the BRAPCI and Lisa, since 2000 to 2018. They were observed some disagreement about platform concepts, implying a tenuous line among the areas of knowledge regarding effect of digital platforms in Information Society, from which the platformization phenomenon is being explored in the IC. So, it is concluded that the IC, as an interdisciplinary field, may develop a protagonist role in this area, considering the sociotechnical nature of this phenomenon and its global impact on the Information Society.

Coleção Carmen Sousa do Museu da Universidade Federal do Pará (MUFPA): uma proposta de instrumento de pesquisa pelo Software Acess to Memory (AtoM)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019) ROSA, Sandra Regina Coelho da; SANTOS JUNIOR, Roberto Lopes dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3355963647616547
Information about musealized collections can be viewed in the midst of a set of organized actions aimed at preserving and communicating material testimonies generated or collected by man. Documentation in museums is comprehensive, ranging from the acquisition of the object to conservation, exhibition and others. It is noticed that this information has the potential to produce new information, advising professionals in the planning and development of activities. Moreover, this information is a fundamental testimony to the history of these collections and guard institutions. Thus, the present work aims to propose a research instrument to the collection of the artist Carmen Sousa (1908-1950), safeguarded by the Museum of the Federal University of Pará (MUFPA). The collection consists of the artist's visual art (painting, sculpture and drawing) and communication (letters, diary, photographs, telegrams, newspaper clippings and others). Research tools are products derived from archival description and museum cataloging, aimed at users who access information in archives or museums in order to locate the documents and objects they wish to search. The methodology applied to the study seeks to associate the mechanisms of information retrieval from the comparative analysis of the description metadata of ISAD(G) standards, for archives, and the documentation of the CIDOC Guidelines, for museums, in order to identify the fields of information record similar data to document the collection. The product of the study points to the conformity of the representation of information for museum collections adapted to the Software Access to Memory (AtoM) in digital setting, in order to provide access to the collection, through the proposal of diffusion, preservation and communication of this cultural good of the museum to its users. The results indicate that the system allows the description of the collection in a single research instrument.

As ontologias na perspectiva da teoria do conceito e da semiótica discursiva: aspectos teórico-conceituais
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-05-07) GOMES, Daniel Libonati; MORAES, João Batista Ernesto de; http://lattes.cnpq.br/5819951651545585; BARROS, Thiago Henrique Bragato; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0339496971217162
Theoretical study about ontologies, relating its structure (composed of classes, properties and instances) with the theoretical tools of Ingetraut Dahlberg’s Concept Theory and Discursive Semiotics. The research started from the premise that ontologies can have in Concept Theory a safe basis to be constructed, so that the information is understood by a semantic perspective. However, it was hypothesized that, if the ontologies were based on the theoretical tool of Discursive Semiotics, it would be possible to obtain a higher theoretical subsidy and, consequently, to enable the construction of more efficient ontologies that would allow an improvement both in the use of the ontologies for knowledge representation and for the interoperability between different systems, considering that the information approach as discourse acts on the basis of the phenomenon of signification, that is, it is more in depth than the semantic approach through which ontologies are currently constructed. Thus, we tried to answer the following question: how can Discourse Semiotics contribute to the understanding and construction of ontologies? In view of this, the bibliographic and descriptive research was carried out in four phases: the first one, a bibliographical review; the second one, whose objective was to understand how the Concept Theory relates to the structure and construction of the ontologies and how this same structure can be adapted to the concepts brought by Discursive Semiotics; the third, with the development of two ontologies, one based on Concept Theory and another based on Semiotics; and the fourth, comparing the two theoretical approaches and the two ontologies, trying to highlight the differences and similarities between them. Finally, it was concluded that the hypothesis formulated is valid, but with some reservations: the ontologies based on Discursive Semiotics, although can be constructed and used, features elements of arbitrary and uncommon naming, so that they may not completely obey the criteria that an ontology must meet (complicating ontology reuse, for example). Nevertheless, Semiotics certainly contributes to a better understanding of these organizational systems in their structure and in what concerns the concepts that are inserted in them.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-05-09) MARTINS, Wanessa Rodrigues; BARROS, Thiago Henrique Bragato; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0339496971217162
The representation of information in Archival Science is understood as a process of organization consisting of several phases, among them: appraisal, classification and description. It focuses on representation focusing on the activity of archival description, since it recognizes that this, being a research activity and that seeks, in the detail of the content and the documentary context, represent the information contained in archives using research instruments, and needs to be appropriated by reality of the archives in the public and private scope of these. In this way, the purpose of this research is to verify the possibility of obtaining theoretical and methodological parameters, through the CIA (International Council of Archives) and CONARQ (National Council of Archives) with a view to proposing political guidelines of description. It has as specific objectives to analyze theoretically and conceptually the concept of description in Archivology; present the CIA and CONARQ, as well as their respective publications concerning the archival description and identify theoretical-conceptual and practical elements capable of subsidizing the creation of description policies in archives. Qualitative research, of a documentary nature and descriptive orientation, initiated by exploring the literature of the literature concerning the themes through books and databases, by the descriptors: "archival representation", "archival description", "standards of description", "policies archives” and the CONARQ and CIA websites. The results reveal a range of normative products and instructions that can provide support and support for the development of policy guidelines in file descriptions. It is concluded, according to the results, the archival description, seen from the perspective of information representation and underpinned by policies of archival description is a kind of facilitator for the organization and representation in files, and does not signify an end in itself.

Avaliação da indexação a partir dos elementos de exaustividade e especificidade pela revocação e precisão na recuperação da informação: sob a ótica dos usuários no sistema de bibliotecas da UFPA
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-05-29) GARCIA, Valdenise César; REDIGOLO, Franciele Marques; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1678579864255236
Indexation is one of the activities carried out in libraries for the thematic organization of information. Through this activity, librarians extract subjects from documents to represent them thematically, in this way, the users have access to the desired document through the information retrieval. Considering that the indexation evaluation is essential to provide more quality to its process, and to allow an efficient retrieval of information for users, it is proposed to conduct the evaluation of the quality of the indexation made in the documents of the Biological, Human, and Engineering Sciences areas from UFPA libraries, in the completeness and specificity aspects, through the information retrieval in the online catalog by the recall and precision elements, from the users’ point of view. This research aimed at contributing with theoretical and practical subsidies for the area of Thematic Processing of Data, based on a research on the evaluation of the quality of indexation, through the elements of completeness and specificity for the information retrieval recall and accuracy. The specific objectives were: a) To reflect on the indexation issue: theoretical and conceptual aspects, purposes, stages, instruments, as well as the inherent factors of its policy and evaluation by the information retrieval; b) To obtain a relevant judgment and opinions on the documents retrieved in the search of a subject in the catalog of the library system of UFPA, through the application of interviews with users of three undergraduate courses, in Belém campus; c) To check the levels of completeness and specificity in the indexation from the recall rates and accuracy in the information retrieval, in order to evaluate the quality of the indexation carried out in a total of 2.584 documents. As a methodological procedure, it was applied a semi-structured interview with 55 users of the UFPA library system, who were undergraduate students from the Biology, Psychology and Civil Engineering courses, in Belém campus, representing respectively the Biological, Human Sciences and Engineering Sciences areas. For the data analysis the quality of the indexation, it was used the categories of completeness and specificity, referring to the indexing process, and of recall and precision, which are regarding the information retrieval by subject. The results showed that the indexation of the analyzed documents of the three courses was considered satisfactory, mainly in the Biology course, in which a higher quality of the indexation was verified, since relevant documents were recovered with few irrelevant ones. However, for a higher quality in the courses of Psychology and Civil Engineering, it is necessary to elaborate guidelines for the indexation and to fix them in an indexation policy. It is concluded that evaluating the indexation through the information retrieval, including the subjects that belong to the documentary cycle, it becomes essential when seeking improvements for the process, since they can improve the representation and information retrieval through their feedback, showing what is desired for each specific area of the documents treated, as well as allowing the adequacy of the indexing according to the context of each library.

A representação da informação no domínio da matemática: análise em linguagens documentárias
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-05-30) MARTINS, Kátia Luciane Macêdo; CONDURÚ, Marise Teles; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6085807397296909
Analyze the natural language of theses and dissertations of the Program of Education in Science and Mathematics (PPGECM),from Federal University of Pará (UFPA), with the general objective of contribute to the reflection of the use of terminologies and documentary languages for information representation in the domain of mathematical sciences and as specific: to investigate in the literature of the information science on documentary languages and terminology for the representation of the information of the Mathematical Sciences domain; to analyze the occurrence of mathematical sciences subjects represented in the natural language of dissertations and theses of the PPGECM / UFPA, comparing with the SIBI-UFPA catalog and with the Library of Congress Subject Headings, an instrument adopted to represent the information in that system; identify the occurrence of the terms in TESAMAT, a specialized instrument in mathematics, ascertaining the adequacy and compatibility with the documentary language adopted by SIBI-UFPA. For this, a bibliographic and documentary research was conducted, being an exploratory study with qualitative approach. It was divided into four stages: a) bibliography analysis; b) identification of theses and dissertations of the PPGECM, in the period 2013-2017; c) elaboration of an electronic form for data collection;d) analysis of the natural language found and its relationship with the SIBI / UFPA catalog and the documentary languages: Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) and the Mathematical Sciences Thesaurus (TESAMAT). As a result, in the terminological analysis of the theses and dissertations, it was found that the terms assigned in the keywords in the natural language (306) were in greater quantity when compared to the indexed terms, taken from documentary languages (210), which were inserted in SIBI-UFPA. This suggests a possible guideline in the indexing process regarding the degree of specificity, with a low comprehensiveness in the identification of subjects in documentary languages. However, in the search was not found any documents with the indexing policy defined in SIBI-UFPA. On the other hand, it was noticed that the choices of the terms in natural language were, for the most part, identified in the LCSH, which shows that the authors of the theses and dissertations analyzed represent in a significant way their themes, evidencing the knowledge of concepts about the terminology indicated in your area. It was still possible to identify that the heading "Mathematics - Study and teaching" was the one that had greater representativeness in the documents analyzed, what suggests a more general terminological catch on the subject of this research, being found in the LCSH and the TESAMAT. Finally, we conclude by the importance of studies on documentary languages to guarantee the representation of the scope of the document, counting on the praxis of indexation and, with specific instruments for the determination of the subject, particularizing the scientific researches, in order to avoid more than one interpretation in documentary practices.

As práticas informacionais relacionadas ao saber e ao fazer das erveiras do Ver-o-Peso: uma análise interdisciplinar
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-05-31) DANTAS, Cleide Furtado Nascimento; BENCHIMOL, Alegria Celia Benchimol; http://lattes.cnpq.br/9550647395377220
This research deals with information practices related to the traditional knowledge of the erveiras Ver-o-Peso Fair in Belém do Pará. In general, the objective is to analyze, in an interdisciplinary perspective, the processes that involve the information on the know-how and do of these individuals who work at Ver-o-Peso. To fulfill this objective, it uses bibliographic research and field research as a methodology, based on a qualitative approach and making use of research instruments such as semi-structured interviews and the photographic camera. From the data collected in the field, together with the adopted theoretical framework, the establishment of eleven (11) categories of analysis and the presentation of a flow of information in the context of the activities of the erveiras were obtained. It shows that orality is the means by which the herbs have been used to transmit their knowledge to possible successors. The daughters or the helpers of the herders absorb information by assisting at home and / or the daily work of Ver-o-Peso, store them in memory and in the face of a need trigger a mental process of retrieving information for effective use. It concludes that understanding the information practices embedded in the daily life of people with traditional knowledge can support conditions that favor the continuity of this knowledge structured by a legacy of information transmitted in the movement of the generations and, in this case, one of the most famous popular fairs of the Brazil: the Ver-o-Peso.

People who have visual disabilities find many barriers to access to information, such as the technical-scientific literature, widely used by university students, because the lack of accessible bibliographic material is still big. This research intends to analyze the problems around the access to bibliographic material by blind students of Federal University of Pará. The general objective is to investigate the processes that involve the technical-scientific literature access by blind students of Federal University of Pará. The specifics are: a) To promote a discussion about the mediation of information to people with disabilities as a field of study in information science; b) To discuss about legal aspects and actions related to access to information for people with disabilities; c) To identify barriers and strategies for access to the technical-scientific literature of the blind students of Federal University of Pará; d) To analyze the processes that involve the mediation of the information for the technical-scientific literature access by blind students of Federal University of Pará. This is an exploratory study in which a case study will be carried out with theoretical contributions of the bibliographical survey and field research with data collection instruments through documents and interviews that can support the study. The interviews were taken to the blind Federal University of Pará students and the librarians who work in the Braille Space of the Central Library at UFPA. Based on the collected data, categories of analysis were established based on the declarations issued by the social subjects involved in comparison with the literature of the area of Information Science and those related to people with disabilities. The results show that in the process that involves access to the technical-scientific literature by blind UFPA students there are barriers in the scope of the student-teacher relationship and others related to the availability of bibliographical material in an accessible format. These barriers have negative consequences on the performance of these students in the development of their academic activities, as in the concept of the disciplines. It is concluded that overcoming these barriers depends on efforts already underway and more investments in factors with the potential to eliminate or overcome them as human resources, technology and interinstitutional partnerships.

Apropriação tecnológica do Portal de Periódicos da CAPES: estudo de caso no Instituto Federal de Educação, Ciência e Tecnologia do Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2019-06-27) MENDONÇA, Doris Campos; BERRIO-ZAPATA, Cristian; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0976534900847907; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7314-6487
The Portal of Periodicals of CAPES was created to solve problems including costing and democratization of the access to the periodicals in Brazil. However, according to data collected in the CAPES Georeferenced Information System, there was a low use of the portal in the Northern Region of Brazil, and particularly in the Federal Institute of Education Science and Technology of Pará. This problematic inspired this research what aims to measure the technological appropriation of CAPES Journal Portal from the perception of professors -users from Institute regarding the tool as the determinants of Perceived Usefulness and Ease of Usage, proposed by Technology Acceptance Model. The model was chosen because of its maturity, tradition and simplicity. Case Study is used as methodology and Institute is being the research aim unit. The data collection was developed from online questionnaires made from variables proposed by TAM, and sent by e-mail to the professors. From the data collected it was possible to notice that professors consider the Portal a useful tool to meet their research interests. However, there is a significant percentage of professors with low or no use of the tool. And among those who use it, is perceived a difficulty of handling the system. The average of positive responses about the perception of Perceived Utility of the tool is higher than the average of responses about Ease of Use, even though the users professors perceive themselves as capable using this type of technology (self-efficacy). Considering that the perception registered consists of users better prepared in the institution, as conclusion it is possible that the Portal is perceived as a complex tool, then discourages new users or more frequency in its use therefore impairing the appropriation of this technology.

This research is a case study that aimed to analyze the insertion and visibility of scientific production at the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) in mainstream science, as a contribution to understanding the mechanisms implicit in the generation and construction of knowledge in a peripheral region international and national scientific system. The research carried out a bibliometric and diachronic scientometric analysis to measure the insertion of UFPA's production in mainstream science, based on the bibliographic database Scopus, as a representative of international literature. The dominant communication vehicles and their impact indicators were identified; the languages of publication; the research areas most covered; citation rates by research area and scientific collaboration networks, at meso (institutional) and macro (national) levels. The period analyzed was the five-year period 2014–2018. A high degree of productivity was observed for researchers in the Biological Sciences, Exact and Natural Sciences and Health Sciences, who also had the highest rates of scientific impact. However, the Social and Human Sciences had the highest growth rates, which denotes the dynamics of insertion and evolution of UFPA in mainstream science, which is characterized by publication in international scientific journals, with emphasis on the American and English dissemination channels. The collaboration took place to a greater extent with Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) located in the South and Southeast regions of Brazil, which have the highest national productivity rates; and with central countries of the international scientific system, with emphasis also on the United States and the United Kingdom.

It deals with Knowledge Management (KM) in University Libraries (BUs). The guiding question of this research was how to share tacit knowledge in the context of the Lourenço José Tavares Vieira da Silva library (BLJTVS) at the Federal Rural University of the Amazon (UFRA). The general objective was to analyze KM in the context of the Library of UFRA campus Belém. The specific objectives were to build a theoretical and methodological framework about KM in BUs, make a comparative analysis between the libraries of UFSC, UFRGS and UFRA and propose ways to GC in the UFRA library. The methodology used was exploratory with the application of the instrument for the diagnosis of GC in BUs, proposed by Castro (2005), in the six sectors that make up the BLJTVS. The results showed that there is no formal KM policy. It was also found that the lack of a formalized KM policy is not only a problem present in the Brazilian scenario, but also in other nations, as was evident from the analysis of published studies on the subject. It is recommended for the creation and implementation of KM in the context of BLJTVS to use the framework GC@ BU proposed by De Bem (2015). To promote organizational learning, creation and knowledge sharing at BLJTVS, the following techniques can be applied: community of practice, dissemination of relevant practices and exit interviews. The tools can also be used: yellow pages, concept maps and groupware. It concludes that it is essential the formal establishment of a KM policy and the adoption of techniques, tools and a collaborative system in cyberspace, which contributes to the sharing of knowledge in the context of BLJTVS. At the end, it is recommended to carry out studies on GG in the BUs of the other Brazilian IFES, and the most appropriate groupware should also be analyzed to promote collaboration between the BUs in Brazil.

This research investigates gender inequality in the access of women to Science and Technology (C&T) careers in higher education, at the Federal University of Pará (UFPA), Brazil. As a referent to C&T, this case study used statistical data from STEM courses (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). These courses are administrated at UFPA within two institutes: the Institute of Exact and Natural Sciences (ICEN) and the Institute of Technology (ITEC). All data was analyzed in light of gender theoretical categories, to identify differences in terms of the approval rates in admission exams, enrolment of undergraduates in STEM courses, successful graduation, participation in post graduation courses (MA and PHD levels), and the configuration of the academic team of professors at post graduation courses. We reviewed nine years of data, between 2011 and 2019. The results show that few women pursue careers in STEM professions. Data showed that from a total of 11,066 students, only 30% were women. There was also a low concentration of women in the academic team at postgraduate level in both institutes: 68 women to 321 men. Female student representation is worst in computer related courses, varying from 11% to 15%. However, courses related to "feminine categories" like aesthetics, food preparation, well-being and health, i.e. Architecture and Urbanism, Food Engineering, and Sanitary and Environmental Engineering, were dominated by women. Survival of undergraduate students is better in women, but in absolute numbers, male graduates overwhelm feminine presence. The longitudinal analysis following the nine-year term of this study, shows that the number of vocations in regard to computer technology is dropping in general, the number of girls entering STEM at UFPA stays constant or declining, but the number of boys is increasing comparatively. Even those fields "dominated by girls today" will cease to have such status in the short term. We conclude that in STEM courses at the UFPA, male-domination is so strong that gender inequality will persist for long, even in the presence of drastic measures today. Gender equality at the UFPA is a complex strongly rooted problem; nevertheless, it needs to be addressed at UFPA as a long term academic and social challenge.

The Digital Repositories were created within the Information Age and open access for the scientific production context. They work as informational environments projected to store, maintain and spread data of digital origin or not. For diverse users, one of the attractive features in the use of digital environment, such as the repository, is that the information needed can be effectively found. For deaf people this is not different, considering that their needs when using the repository are often like those who hear. That way, this research intends to analyse the problem rising from the question: What is the perception of the deaf community of the Instituto Nacional de Educação de Surdos (INES – National Institute of Deaf Education) about the data findability in the Huet Digital Repository? Based within this horizon, this research main objective is to analyse the Huet Digital Repository data findability from the perspective of the INES deaf people community. Specifically, it intends to: a) link the concepts of Digital Repository, Data Findability and Deaf; b) identify the Huet Repository data findability characteristics from the Checklist use; c) describe the INES deaf community perception about the Huet Repository findability of digital objects for deaf people education. To fulfil such objectives the research is defined as descriptive, with a quali quantitative approach that uses an electronic questionnaire, there is also a semistructured interview as a tool for data collection. The sample to which the questionnaire was applied consists of 11 deaf and non deaf INES teachers. The semistructured interview was applied to five (5) deaf and non deaf INES students. Both tools were adapted from a checklist for the data findability features of informational environments. results show that not all the data findability features are present in the Huet Repository. Some of them have solvable problems. Besides that, the INES deaf community indicates important issues that are able to improve the digital environment analysed, that way breaking barriers to minorities digital inclusion, a linguistic minority in this case. This research does not reach a conclusion; however, it expects to stir up the discussion about findability, taking into consideration the opinions of the users, mainly the users that are part of minorities with diverse characteristics, which must be heard as well as the deaf ones.

Accessibility allows the safe and autonomous use of urban, communicational, informational and technological structures by people with disabilities and reduced mobility. Digital accessibility on university library websites ensures the right and autonomy in accessing information on the web for everyone, especially people with disabilities, which is provided for in several laws. Given this panorama, the research problem is: “Does the homepage of the UFPA Central Library website meet the accessibility requirements for W3C web content, allowing blind people using NVDA to access the information contained therein”? For this, the general objective was outlined: To analyze the digital accessibility of the homepage of the Central Library of UFPA, with regard to access to information, taking as parameters the accessibility guidelines for web content (WCAG) 2.1 and the user experience blind in interacting with the web using the NVDA screen reader. The specific objectives were: a) Identify items that compromise the accessibility of the homepage of the UFPA Central Library website, pointed out by the automatic evaluator WAVE; b) Check the browsing experience of the blind user using NVDA with the homepage of the BC / UFPA website, accessing information about the products and services available; c) Verify the compliance of the accessibility guidelines for web content 2.1 according to the results of the WAVE evaluation and tests with blind users using NVDA. This research had as methodology a descriptive case study. A bibliographic and documentary research was carried out, followed by an analysis of the digital accessibility of the homepage of the UFPA Central Library website, with the application of three evaluation methods: automatic with the WAVE software, tests with blind users using NVDA and a satisfaction interview.The results showed that the digital accessibility of the BC / UFPA website's homepage is compromised in the perceptible, operable, understandable and robust aspects. The WAVE software identified accessibility errors that prevent access to information about digital products and services through images without alternative text, decorative images without null, images used as links without proper description, empty links, forms and buttons without labels. Tests with blind students ratify the errors pointed out by WAVE and also show problems of digital accessibility related to usability, information architecture, good accessibility practices, proficiency in the use of NVDA, lack of predictability and clarity, among others. Causing users disorientation, giving up, discouragement, tiredness etc. It is concluded that analyzing the digital accessibility of the BC / UFPA website homepage was fundamental to verify the technological and human aspects necessary to guarantee democratization and autonomy in access to information from university library sites to blind students, who will automatically attend other categories of students. users. Attitudinal accessibility, WCAG attendance is necessary for the development of digital products and services with the perception of the disabled user so that they can meet their specificities of navigation, perception, understanding, operation, interaction, contribution and access to information on the web.

Study on the use of documentary languages in the context of university institutional repositories in the Northern Region of Brazil. It specifically aims to conceptualize Knowledge Organization and the paths that lead to the elaboration of documentary languages, as well as their characteristics and main types. Draw an overview of the Free Access movement, the crisis of traditional journals and the search for more freedom in accessing scientific texts, the context under which the repositories were developed. Demonstrate adherence to the free access movement and the first actions in its favor around the world and in Brazil, such as incentive actions by researchers and government agencies. It has a qualitative, explanatory approach, featuring a case study on the use of documentary languages in the standardization of representative terms of documents made available in university institutional repositories. The data collection instrument was configured in a semi open online questionnaire, containing 23 questions, applied to the research subjects (librarians), one respondent from each repository. The 23 questions are divided into three macro analysis sessions, each aiming to observe a guiding aspect of the investigation: a) setting of the repository and the activities of the librarian, b) verifying the existence of an indexing policy and the use of documentary languages ; c) observe the aspects of the conceptual translation method adopted by the indexers. Eight questionnaires were sent, one per repository, and 100% (one hundred percent) responses were obtained. The analysis of the data was made from these answers, according to the categories that make up the macro analysis sessions, being a proportion of 8/1, that is, for each question 8 answers were analyzed, which made it possible to draw a profile of the document indexing activity in federal university digital repositories in the Northern Region. In this sense, it was observed that the use of documentary languages in the researched repositories is not yet unanimous, since the absence of a policy of indexing in libraries allows the free choice for the use or not of a controlled language, still prevailing the use of language natural or the use of it together with LDs. Another factor that reflects in the adoption of a documentary language is the particular character of the Amazon region, where the terms, concepts and spellings vary, which, commonly, are not contemplated by the languages normally adopted, as these are more general and not specific to attend the demand of professionals who work with the indexing of documents generated by research in the region. It was concluded that, despite the prevalence of natural language, the indexers have an understanding of the importance ofterminological control and the processes that involve it, such as technical reading and the adequacy of cross-references. However, there is still a lack of libraries to adopt a guiding policy on indexing, which helps professionals to maintain a standardized catalog, which can be recovered in an exhaustive manner, be it from physical or digital collections.

The general objective of the research was to analyze the scientific production of the Institute of Health Sciences (ICS) of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) in Belém, from the survey of 172 dissertations defended in the Postgraduate Programs of Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences in Brazil from 2010 to 2016. The specific objectives were: characterize the UFPA Graduate Health Programs, map the dissertation documents defended in the Graduate Programs, extract the metadata for standardization and measurement application and present the co occurrence networks of keywords and health research topics, as well as the guidelines. The theoretical framework of the research was delineated in the literature and concepts of scientific production and productivism, as well as bibliometric conceptions, as well as the importance of bibliometric indicators such as the use of keyword co-occurrence networks, and the laws from Bradford, Zipf and Lotka. Regarding its nature, this research is characterized as applied, whose approach was qualitative and quantitative, with emphasis on document analysis and measurement of scientific production in health. Documentary analysis used a bibliometric form with variables such as year of publication, author, title, advisor and keywords. The metadata was then organized into a sheet in the Excel spreadsheet editor, where the data was tabulated and processed in VOSviewer software, version 1.6.11. The analysis of dissertations on Health Science, especially Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, made it possible to highlight in academic research the interdisciplinary thematic areas, verified by the following keywords: “Etidronic acid”, “Dental adhesives”, “Dentine”, “Orthodontics ”, “Medicinal plants”, “Oxidative stress”, “Antimicrobial activity”. The research identified that bibliometrics contributes to the process of evaluating scientific production in health studies, as it can organize, map, systematize and measure information in this field of study.

(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-02-27) GOMES, Nilzete Ferreira; REDIGOLO, Franciele Marques; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1678579864255236; https://orcid.org/0000-0001-6277-2960
The theme of this research is centered on the Organization and Knowledge Representation, having as object of study the indexing in the institutional repositories of the North Network (NORTE / RIAA). It is situated in the contemporary context of Information Science, Organization and Representation of Information and Knowledge, centered on the social paradigm (users / information). Its general objective is to collaborate with discussions for the Knowledge Organization area based on reflections on Indexing in institutional repositories, and as specific objectives: to study the concepts of knowledge organization and indexing in institutional digital repositories; investigate the indexation process carried out in the Norte / RIAA repositories, through a questionnaire and diagnose the representation standards by indexing, adopted in the Norte / RIAA Institutions. Given this, the research has a descriptive character, with a qualitative approach. Using as method, the study of multiple cases, as the institutions that make up the North / RIAA will be analyzed. The research universe comprises all thirteen 13 institutions that are part of the Network. As for the data collection instrument, the semi-structured questionnaire was used, applied using the google docs form in November 2019, based on the questionnaire by Gomes (2015) and the main indexing theories of: Lancaster (2004), Rubi (2008, 2009), Fujita and Gil Leiva (2009), Dias e Naves (2013), Fujita (2016), Fujita et al. (2016) and repositories from: Leite (2009), Leite et al. (2012), Costa and Leite (2017), Sayão et al. (2009), Shintaku and Meireles (2010). The main results were obtained: most of the North Network repositories are located in the State of Amazonas; all have at least one librarian on their technical team; use Dspace software; they do not have guidelines / policies or an indexing manual, they index specifically; use natural language; do not carry out indexation assessment; in the retrieval of information they use the Boolean operators and display the results in a long form and by author and title. It was concluded that the repositories must recognize the importance of the indexing policy or guidelines for the standardization of information in the repositories; create own vocabulary from the combination of natural and controlled language; provide more effective training to the entire IR team; evaluate indexing in the repositories. This will provide information retrieval effectively and efficiently to all users of the North Network.

Study on digital curatorship inserted in the context of institutional repositories of Brazilian federal universities, which promotes the management of the digital object throughout its life cycle, with the general objective of contributing to the theme of digital curatorship in institutional repositories. For this, the specific objectives are: a) to investigate in the scientific literature about institutional repositories and digital curatorship; b) identify digital curation practices applied in institutional repositories; c) to reflect on the digital curatorship practices developed for the management of digital objects in the institutional repositories of federal universities in the North region and, observing the repositories of the North region. From this, as methodology, we adopted bibliographic, documentary and descriptive research, with a quantitative approach in data collection and qualitative in data analysis; it is characterized as a multiple case study, focusing on the digital curation practices used in the institutional repositories of Brazilian universities, based on the actions of the life cycle of the Digital Curation Centre. As a technique, extensive direct observation was used on the repository sites and as a data collection instrument, the questionnaire applied to the managers of the investigated repositories was used. As a result, it was observed that the institutional repositories of brazilian universities in the Northern region studied little use digital curation as a way to monitor the management of their digital objects, as well as the actions of the life cycle of the digital object. It is recommended to use this model as a form of improvement or others that can expand research on this theme. Finally, it was concluded that digital curation practices can be used in the institutional repositories of universities, in order to give more quality to the scientific information produced and that are made available through digital objects.
