A biblioteca universitária na formação de professores

uso de fontes de informação e a pesquisa científica

Abstract

This study analyzes the use of digital and electronic resources in teacher’s formation in three university libraries: the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul, the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul, and the University of Passo Fundo. The interrelationships between culture and education, and the personal ability to understand and adapt to the new emerging culture happens in cyberspace through the virtualization of the information. In this paper we investigate whether the electronic resources of information are elements that enhance the didactic-pedagogical role of the library, being centered on the search and retrieval of information, and becoming a core part of the research process. Finally, the study indicates the need to qualify the library so that it becomes a cultural and reflective space, focused on people’s education, where research is the axis that articulates the political-pedagogical processes.
