(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-02-19) SANTOS, Zilah Edelburga Chaves dos Santos; BERRÍO ZAPATA, Cristian; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0976534900847907; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7314-6487; CHALHUB, Tania; http://lattes.cnpq.br/6737749200665570; https://orcid.org/ 0000-0001-7160-3886
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.

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.

Análise do tratamento da informação no Museu do Instituto Histórico e Geográfico do Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2020-02-28) REIS, Mateus da Silva; SANTOS JUNIOR, Roberto Lopes dos; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3355963647616547
Information Treatment investigates the support and subject dimensions that make up the document, seeking to formulate access points and representations that enable the relationship between user x information x document in different information units. In this sense, this research arises from the concern about the informational treatment of the Museum of the Historical and Geographic Institute of Pará (MIHGP), located in the downtown of Belém - PA, in which weaknesses in the processes of organization and representation of information have already been observed. This research seeks to analyze the Information Treatment of MIHGP, focusing on the catalog card, using, in an interdisciplinary way, conceptual and methodological elements of the Organization of Knowledge and Information. It is a descriptive and experimental research, using direct observation as a methodological strategy. The methodological procedures were configured as: the selection of bibliographies related to the Organization of Knowledge and Information and the Subject and Descriptive Treatment; construction of levels of informational treatment, in the descriptive and thematic dimensions, from the analysis of these bibliographies; the adequacy of the fields of the catalog to the established levels; observation of the levels reached by the research instrument, outlining strengths and weaknesses. It was noticed in the results that the informational treatment reached satisfactory levels in the descriptive sphere, by enabling essential functions of investigation of the support of the objects of the MIHGP. However, the research instrument did not reach acceptable levels of subject treatment, as it did not allow indexing terms related to the content of the document and the identification of the association between owners and the objects of the MIHGP. As a solution to these problems, we sought to reformulate this instrument using the Tainacan software, using new guidelines and processes present in the field of Archivology, Museology and Information Science. It was concluded that the proposed discussion comprises a series of debates that seek to minimize the problems surrounding the informational context of the presented museum institution. This investigation can complement the MIHGP's trajectory regarding the need to organize the information of its collections, and can be seen as one of the steps towards more effective norms and guidelines for the representation of information, such as, for example, an indexation policy.

The publication of Federal Law No. 12.527/2011 stipulated new ways of handling public information, establishing guidelines and procedures to be followed by public entities belonging to the Union, States, Federal District, and Municipalities, implementing active and passive transparency. The 2030 Agenda is a document composed by the United Nations (UN) that has 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that aim to contribute to sustainable development globally. Among these, SDG 16 "Peace, Justice and Effective Institutions" aims to "promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all, and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels" (UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATION, 2015, unpaginated). The goal 16. 6 "develop effective, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels" as well as 16.10 "ensure public access to information and protect fundamental freedoms, in accordance with national legislation and international agreements". Aforementioned goals present as a central theme "access to and transparency of information in the public sectors", linked to the regulation of access to information in the public sphere. Hence, this research designated the following as a general objective: to demonstrate if the channels of access to information of the federal universities of the state of Pará present the requirements provided by the Access to Information Act, contributing to the achievement of the goals in the 2030 Agenda, 16.6 and 16.10. To this end, specific objectives were stipulated: identify the instruments of access to information used in the federal universities of the state of Pará; evaluate the instruments of access to information within the Federal Universities of the State of Pará according to the guidelines and procedures of the LAI and the indicators of the goals 16.6 and 16.10 and present potentialities and weaknesses of the universities observed from the analysis of the results. The research embodies a qualitative and quantitative approach. We adopted exploratory and descriptive methodology. Data collection was carried out through an observation script filled out by the universities and the author. The results indicated that the universities were in an progressive process of implementation of LAI. These institutions are adapting their channels of access to information according to the guidelines and orientations of the Act. Regarding goals 16.6 and 16.10, the results revealed that all four universities contribute to the achievement of said goals by disseminating reports and having SIC, e-SIC, Ombudsman and e-OUV (Plataforma Fala.BR), to respond to requests for information, following the guidelines of the Act. As for the structural and content (information) standardization signaled, all four utilize a language of easy understanding (citizen). The study also presented the potentialities and weaknesses of the universities from the LAI perspective and for the achievement of the 2030 Agenda observed from the analysis of the results. It is concluded that the process of implementation of LAI and goals 16.6 and 16.10 in the federal universities of the state of Pará contributes to the democratization of information, from their communication channels, contributing to the improvement of public service delivery in the North Region.

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.

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.

Open Science can be considered as a paradigm shift within the Open Access movement, containing in one of its pillars the open access to scientific research data in order to contribute and collaborate with the use, reuse and reproducibility of these data. Through sharing, research can be validated and bring more transparency to the studies developed. Among the issues debated about the sharing of research data is the authors' perception of this practice, which can both inhibit and influence it. Thus, the aim of this study is to investigate the perceptions and practices of permanent professors of graduate programs at the Institute of Technology (ITEC) and the Institute of Applied Social Sciences (ICSA) at UFPA regarding the sharing of research data. The methodology, of an exploratory nature, through the case study, composes the investigation regarding the sharing of research data, with the UFPA as the locus of the research, through a questionnaire and interview. The survey was conducted through 51 questionnaire respondents and 10 interview participants. The results showed that the professors have knowledge about research data sharing, but not in relation to the fundamentals of Open Science. Regarding data sharing practices, the research points to the occurrence informally, without the use of data management tools. The importance of this study at UFPA is highlighted, given the incipience on the theme and the need for guidelines and support at the institutional level, given the relevance of the theme in identifying and researching factors and characteristics that can increase the balance between the participants in the process and use of research data sharing.

Informational behavior studies are dedicated to identify information needs, the way of searching and the use of information by individuals from the point of view of information as a social construction, of the individual as a user and also a provider of information in the cognitive perspective. We sought to know the information behavior of the residents of Ophir Loyola Hospital through qualitative case study research, with the participation of 57 health professionals, medical and non medical residents, who answered an electronic questionnaire in order to know their information needs, search behavior and use of information in the hospital routine based on an integrative model validated in Information Science and adapted to the study. The results were treated by analyzing the categories and showed that the residents’ information needs refer to patient care. The main feelings that accompany them when they perceive the information need are: curiosity, anxiety and uncertainty. The search for information occurs at the moment when residents feel the need. Databases are the sources of information they seek most often and those that residents trust most. The use of information retrieved by residents is for the understanding of the clinical problem in different specialties. The integrative model used allowed the achievement of the proposed objectives and the elaboration of a diagram of the residents’ information behavior.

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.

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.

Elaborated and used by the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN), the National Inventory of Cultural References (INRC) is a research methodology for the registration of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Brazil since 2000 and is based on the law of registration and recognition of this type of heritage: Decree-Law 3.551 / 2000. In 2004, Círio de Nazaré, held in Belém, capital of the State of Pará, officially since 1793 was the first to use this methodology for the category of the register book of Celebrations. This celebration involves not only the capital and its metropolitan region but expands to several other cities in the state and other regions of Brazil. Being held in honor of Our Lady of Nazareth, the Círio has strong popular participation, becoming one of the great symbols of manifestation coming from the people and their interaction with the sacred. This research aims to analyze the applicability of this methodology in Círio de Nazaré and the documentary basis of the process that results in the production of a representation of the identified Intangible Cultural Heritage, specifically the content of the documents referring to the spectacle Auto do Círio, performed by the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) since 1993 and its representation within the registry. Seeking to identify the flow of information and mediations that occur in the heritage and its social range of meanings and symbols, the study explores the social context of the term “Cultural Heritage”, its construction and its informational side in relation to the user. Based on the information contained in the documents present in the Archive of the Superintendence of IPHAN in Pará (Forms, Filled Questionnaires, Photographs and Newspapers) and the INRC product: The Dossier Círio (2006). The results present the documentary basis of the INRC Círio process and the survey of information about Auto do Círio within the process.

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 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.

Archival Intelligence, translated in this research as Archival Intelligence, presents a growing scientific production internationally, still little explored in Brazil. Archival Intelligence is related to the knowledge and skill set of archival users for effective research with primary sources. Thus, the objective of this work is to propose a concept for Archival Intelligence suitable for the national scenario, with the delimitation of characteristics, contexts and subjects involved, in order to broaden and consolidate the discussions around Information Literacy with Archival Science in Brazil. We elected as methodological options: Systematic Bibliographic Review to identify the presence of the term Archival Intelligence in publications indexed in the Journal Portal Coordination for the Improvement of Higher Education and Grounded Theory to propose the concept of Archival Intelligence. The results of this research point to the importance of transversality among Information Literacy, Information Literacy in Archival Science, Archival Literacy and Archival Intelligence to deepen the studies on archival instruction, foster the creation of teaching and learning standards with primary sources and infer their practical application to archival users. It is necessary the archivist's protagonism in this process, as well as his partnership with information professionals, researchers, teachers and students from different areas.

Studies Governmental Information Systems, considering that its growing use, in confluence with technologies, seeks to meet the current demands for transparency and efficiency of public services, and leads to discussions as to which technologies can be used for this purpose and how Library & Information Science (LIS) can contribute in this context. Thus, the research aims to explore the relationships between LIS and Data Science and their applications in Governmental Information Systems to enable the transformation of data into information, and as specific objectives: a) to understand Information Systems and Governmental Information Systems, relating to the concepts of Open Government and Open Data; b) identify the concept of Data Science and its application in Governmental Information Systems in the context of Library & Information Science; c) to indicate the relationships between Data Science and LIS applied in Governmental Information Systems processes. The research is of a bibliographic nature, of qualitative analysis, with an exploratory study, in order to analyze the multidisciplinary relations between LIS and Data Science, studying aspects of the use of these intersections in Governmental Information Systems. As a result, the research shows that Governmental Information Systems tend to incorporate the use of technologies, including those related to Data Science, in order to meet demands for transparency, accountability, access to information and better government services, with possibilities of correlations between LIS and Data Science in areas such as Open Data, interoperability, Knowledge Management, analytics and Artificial Intelligence. It is concluded that the study and application of these correlations is capable of generate benefits to the operation of Governmental Information Systems, considering the informational competences of LIS as support to the use of technologies, contributing to a greater interaction between government and society to meet the needs informational requirements, thus having the broad possibility of studies on the subject and application opportunities.

“LITTLE SCIENCE” vs “BIG SCIENCE” no Norte do Brasil: um estudo sobre a evolução acadêmica dos Institutos Federais Amazônicos
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-01-25) CARDOSO, Suzana; Berrío-Zapata, Cristian; http://lattes.cnpq.br/0976534900847907; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7314-6487
This study aims to investigate the main characteristics of the scientific production of the Federal Institutes (FIs) of the Northern Region in their evolution towards the "Big Science", or "Mainstream" science, in order to visualize their performance in knowledge production and human capital, in the context of the difficulties of an academically and economically peripheral region. It aims to examine, specifically, from the concepts of Big Science, Center-Periphery and the types of Capital, the scientific evolution of the FIs in Northern Brazil; to contextualize the historical facts of the FIs and socioeconomic facts of the Region, which sustain its condition of academic periphery in the Brazilian global and national system; to identify and analyze indicators of scientific production for evaluation of scientific performance and its potential to contribute to the sustainable development of the region. The research is characterized as a case study, using bibliometric and scientometric indicators and economic data. In scientific capital, 890 articles and 2,758 citations were retrieved from the period 2009 to 2019. The results indicated a cumulative linear growth of 46% over the analyzed period. The most prevalent language was English, with 70.1% in publications. A balanced trend of publications in national and international journals was noted (51.5% versus 48.5%, respectively). The impact of the journals was ranked as high impact (Q1=21%), medium impact (Q2=21%), low impact (Q3=21% and Q4=17%) and no ranking 20%. In social capital, regional collaboration had the highest occurrence with institutions in the North Region and Southeast Region, and internationally with the United States. In intellectual capital, the Northern FIs presented the lowest qualification index in relation to the Southeastern FIs (5.2% against 36.3%). In economic capital, the data indicated that the Northern FIs and their region received the lowest investments for education, for research, and for S&T. It was concluded that low investments (dominant capital) prevent FIs from reaching a level of scientific maturity capable of driving the transition from local to global science.

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.
