Produções acadêmicas em repositórios institucionais: a busca retrospectiva de autorizações para disponibilização em acesso aberto

Abstract

Introdução: Pesquisa experimental desenvolvida na Biblioteca da Escola de Enfermagem da UFRGS visando a preservação e o aumento da visibilidade da coleção de Trabalhos de Conclusão de Curso de Graduação (TCC), período 2001-2005, através de sua disponibilização no repositório institucional LUME da UFRGS. A coleção impressa de TCCs ao ser disponibilizada no LUME, proporcionará considerável ganho de espaço físico no acervo, além de padronizar o suporte da coleção de TCCs, evitando também a duplicidade de suportes informacionais na biblioteca. Segundo Leite (2009), os repositórios digitais trazem muitos benefícios para as universidades entre eles o aumento da visibilidade, reputação e prestígio da instituição mantenedora. Hollós e Silva (2010), afirmam que a preservação documental caracteriza-se como uma atividade responsável pela gestão dos recursos dedicados a garantir a integridade física dos documentos, proporcionando o aumento de sua durabilidade e proporcionando o acesso às gerações presentes e futuras. Materiais e Métodos: Após mapeamento da coleção impressa de TCCs no período 2001-2005, disponíveis no acervo, e para que fosse possível a disponibilização eletrônica no LUME, foi necessário realizar a busca pelo contato (email) dos autores para solicitar a autorização dos mesmos para disponibilizar seu trabalho no repositório. A busca pelos contatos se deu através do cadastro do ex-aluno na UFRGS, não havendo sucesso nessa busca, foi realizada pesquisa no Google e Facebook. Através do Facebook foi enviada uma mensagem “in box” para o autor solicitando seu e-mail para posterior envio do formulário de autorização. Após retorno das mensagens pelo Facebook foram enviados e-mails formais para a solicitação das autorizações. Resultados Parciais: Como resultado parcial do estudo, dos 207 TCCs do período pesquisado, 90 autores foram localizados, 68 retornaram com a autorização de disponibilização no repositório, e 22 autores ainda não retornaram o e-mail. Considerações parciais: A avaliação preliminar do projeto é positiva, pois a biblioteca otimizou o espaço físico de seu acervo e proporcionou maior visibilidade aos TCCs, uma vez que os trabalhos que estavam disponíveis apenas em meio impresso no acervo da biblioteca foram digitalizado e estão disponíveis on-line. O trabalho pretende se estender às demais coleções que são Produção Intelectual (PI) da faculdade, como teses, dissertações e relatórios técnico-científicos.

Introduction: Experimental research development at the Library of the School of Nursing at UFRGS aiming at preserving and increasing the visibility of the collection of Work Conclusion of Graduate Course (TCC), 2001-2005, through its institutional repository available on LUME UFRGS. The printed collection of TCCs to be available on LUME, provide considerable gain physical space in the collection, in addition to standardizing support the collection of TCCs also avoiding duplication of informational media in the library. According to Leite (2009), digital repositories bring many benefits to universities including increased visibility, reputation and prestige of the supporting institution. Hollós and Silva (2010), claim that the document preservation is characterized as a responsible for managing the resources dedicated to ensure the physical integrity of documents activity, providing increased durability and providing access to present and future generations.Materials and Methods: After mapping the printed collection of TCCs in 2001-2005, available in the collection, and to make possible the electronic availability on LUME, it was necessary to search for the contact (email) authors to request their authorization to deliver their work to the repository. The search for the contacts occurred through the register by former student at UFRGS, not having success in this search, research was conducted on Google and Facebook. Through Facebook was sent a message "in box" to the author requesting your email for later sending the authorization form. After returning messages by Facebook formal emails were sent to request authorizations.Partial Results: As a partial result of the study, of 207 TCCs of the research period, 90 authors were located, 68 returned with the authorization available in the repository, and 22 authors have not yet returned the email.Partial Considerations: A preliminary assessment of the project is positive, as the library optimized the physical space of their collections and provided greater visibility to TCCs, since the works that were available only in print in the library collection were digitized and are available online. The work aims to extend to other collections that are Intellectual Production (IP) college, such as theses, dissertations, and technical and scientific reports. research development at the Library of the School of Nursing at UFRGS aiming at preserving and increasing the visibility of the collection of Work Conclusion of Graduate Course (TCC), 2001-2005, through its institutional repository available on LUME UFRGS.
