Document management

the information produced in public and private schools

Abstract

With the intensification of globalization, the rationalization of the documentary mass became a strategy for institutions to achieve efficiency in the services they provide. The article analyzes the process of storage and retrieval of information produced in the public and private school, having as parameter the theoretical-methodological tooling of Document Management. The methodology adopted was the Case Study, whose application of a questionnaire to two managers allowed comparing the archival practice adopted in the two establishments visited. Evidence shows that the strategies adopted by school managers for storing and retrieving documentary information depend on the type of establishment that ultimately relies on financial resources to invest in this particular segment. We conclude that the Manager can improve this process from the annual planning and that includes procedures based on defined criteria to evaluate, select, eliminate and control the documentary mass, whose archival information organicity can constitute an efficient database. These premises can be applied more in the Public School, where the precariousness of storage and the inefficiency of archives is reproduced.
