O papel da biblioteca na disseminação da informação jurídica: caso Biblioteca do Centro de Formação Jurídica e Judiciária

Abstract

The present work aimed to analyse the role of the Library of the Legal and Judiciary Training Center (CFJJ) in the dissemination of legal information. In order to ensure a better achievement of the established objectives, it was decided to use the descriptive-exploratory research and the qualitative and quantitative method, as it is a research that has the environment as a direct source of data, maintaining direct contact with the environment. And the object of study in question, requiring intensive fieldwork. The questionnaire was used as a data collection tool for three employees of the CFJJ Library. The study included aspects such as employee profile, professional performance, skills, abilities and attitudes. The results were presented and analyzed together, allowing to infer that the CFJJ Library employees recognize the importance of acquiring informational competence to support, not only in the dissemination of legal information and research guidance to users, as well as in the good performance of the your activities. However, such actions proved to be limited, due to the flaws identified in the profile of these employees, largely caused by the lack of training/continuous training. The conclusion is that the CFJJ Library does not develop training programs for its employees to acquire skills for the efficient use of informational resources, therefore, these employees are not properly contributing to the dissemination of legal information. Not only that, it was also concluded that such obstacles contribute to the CFJJ Library's employees having “few” skills and abilities to guide research to users. Among other recommendations, it is suggested the promotion of training and qualifications linked to the area of Librarianship and related areas so that employees acquire skills and information skills to better serve the user in the dissemination of legal information and research guidance.
