Atuação interdisciplinar de arquivistas e bibliotecários em acordo com legislação profissional em institutos federais

Abstract

This monograph discusses the role of librarians in functions related to archival management in the Federal Institutes of Education, Science and Technology, and the relationship of these cases to national archival public policy and interdisciplinarity between Archiving and Librarianship. This is an exploratory research, and methods employed as a literature search and document research. The scientific literature indicates scientific technical dimension as one of the facets of archival policy. Decisions to establish codes and temporality tables are political decisions, but its implementation depends on technical knowledge. Despite having an area of common knowledge, the Librarianship and Archiving have particular techniques, and thus a librarian is unable to perform duties inherent to the field of Archiving. The literature showed the slow advance of national archival public policy, and it indicates a lack of skilled labor as one of the reasons to assign the archival management to librarians. However, the Law on Access to Information and the need to improve public management in response to the yearning of society tends to prompt improvement in the archival management at Institutions. The research infers the need to include the requirement of archivists in Higher Education Institutions of the Federal Schools; this is another step in the gradual process of archival policy of Brazil.
