Abstract

This article is based on the hypothesis that, in the same way that in the Southeast and Northeast regions of Brazil there is a silence on the agenda of federal universities regarding the theme of Multiculturalism in the area of Library Science and Information Science (BCI), the other regions may present the same trend. The question that guides this research is to what extent is the theme of Multiculturalism part of the initial and continued training in librarian and information scientist training courses at Brazilian federal universities in the South, Midwest and North regions? This is a qualitative and quantitative investigation that considers the theoretical framework of Multiculturalism. It aims to analyze pedagogical projects and curricular matrices of undergraduate and postgraduate courses (Masters and Doctorate) in the BCI area with a view to presenting an overview of how the Multiculturalism approach manifests itself in initial and continued training. It confirms the low incidence of the topic in the context of BCI training and points to the desirable discussion of the topic in universities in response to the requirements for training information professionals that favor the achievement of the objectives of the 2030 agenda (UN, 2015). This research adds to the works that have already discussed the relevance of the topic and contributes to the debate and discussions of Multiculturalism in the área.
