This research is part of the research field of Information Science, in the Knowledge Organization subarea and aims to discuss the importance of indexing policy in university libraries. The research is justified by the need to investigate aspects of organizational infrastructure for indexing policy development for the organization of knowledge in the physical and social space of university libraries. The research problem is: how can an indexing policy contribute to the organization of knowledge in the sectorial libraries of the Federal University of Pará? The general objective: to contribute to discussions on the relevance of the indexing policy for the organization of knowledge in sectorial libraries of the Federal University of Pará. The specific objectives are: a) to carry out a bibliographic survey on the topics of knowledge organization and representation, indexing, indexing policy, information retrieval and the like; b) Conduct a diagnostic study of the organizational infrastructure of Federal University of Pará libraries; c) Investigate the elements of indexing policy from the catalogers in the Library System of the Federal University of Pará. Methodologically, the research is characterized as a case study of an exploratory nature with qualitative analysis of the data, in which the instruments of data collection are: bibliographic research in databases and a questionnaire, sent through Google forms to the professional catalogers of the Library System of the Federal University of Pará. Results: the inexistence of an indexing policy was identified out of a sample of twelve libraries that participated in the research, motivating the non-standardization in the use strategies of Subject Analysis and Cataloging Translation. However, based on the daily experiences of the catalogers, the following elements were found: human resources, clientele, subject coverage, selection and acquisition of source documents, level of exhaustiveness, indexing process, documentation language, system evaluation and search strategies, which are part of an indexing policy. It was concluded that despite the non-formalization of the indexing policy, the integrated network of libraries has subsidies and elements for the formalization of guidelines, since the indexing policy in the integrated network can be an ally in the standardization of the indexing process among cataloging professionals, as well as in carrying out training programs aiming subject cataloging, with guidelines on the use of retrospective conversion of bibliographic records, use of catalogs and databases in subject cataloging, giving the possibility of using this research as a model for the elaboration of an indexing policy, in addition to contributing to new studies on the topic of indexing policy in the Brazilian context.

Produtos e serviços informacionais para estudantes de cursos de graduação no modalidade de educação a distância: um estudo de caso na Universidade Federal do Pará
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2021-05-31) NASCIMENTO, Hellen Cristina Macedo do; OLIVEIRA, Hamilton Vieira; http://lattes.cnpq.br/3172995771315859; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-6439-0058
The development of Distance Education (DE), over the years, enabled an accumulation of teaching methodologies and strategies that expanded opportunities for initial and continuing education for remote populations that face-to-face education could not meet, and thus, it began to be used as an alternative for admission to public and private higher education institutions. Thus, the general objective of this study was to analyze the informational products and services offered by the Library System (SIBI) of the Federal University of Pará (UFPA) to students enrolled in distance education undergraduate courses, while the specific objectives intended the following points: to raise the literature on theories, concepts and definitions related to distance education and informational products and services offered in this modality; to verify how the participation of the library and the professional who performs auxiliary activities in the Library of the Polo Universidade Aberta do Brasil (UAB) in Salinópolis occurs; identify the informational needs and expectations of undergraduate students in the distance modality; characterize and evaluate the informational products and services offered at the UAB Polo Library in the Municipality of Salinópolis in relation to the needs and expectations of the DE students attended by it. To support this study, it was opted for a methodology based on exploratory and descriptive research, with a quali-quantitative approach. In addition, bibliographic review, document research and case study procedures were used. The universe of this research was the Library of the Polo UAB Salinópolis, while the sample consisted of the following subjects: a) library assistant responsible for the analyzed information unit, b) responding students, c) SIBI/UFPA coordinator. The questionnaire and the interview were used as instruments for data collection, and for the treatment and comparison of primary and secondary data with the revised literature, we opted for the application of methodological triangulation. It was found that the SIBI/UFPA offers information products and services to the academic community in general, however, the absence of guidelines for assisting undergraduate students in the distance modality ends up limiting the informational resources for this audience. It was found that the Library of the Polo UAB Salinópolis is not properly structured for distance learning students, and as a result, the aforementioned information unit does not meet the expectations detected by mapping the informational needs of DE users at the aforementioned academic unit. The study contributes to the theoretical basis and suggests several measures and procedures by the institutional agents involved, among them the implementation of a policy aimed at specific and adequate informational support for DE students and the carrying out of new research that can contribute to the adequacy of libraries to the needs of their users, in accordance with their objectives and social functions.
