Biblioteca universitária e os indicadores do sinaes: Estudo do caso da Universidade de Brasília

Abstract

This paper seeks to answer the question: Does the Central Library of the University of Brasilia (BCE/UNB) complies with all indicators of the National Higher Education Evaluation System (SINAES) for the proper care of the information needs of its users? To provide answer to this question, it was adopted the methodology of documentary analysis, documents of the University of Brasilia and publications carried out by the committee for assessment (CPA) for the period 2014, to address the dimensions of SINAES evaluation instruments, such as physical facilities; facilities for the collection and operation; computerization. It seems that if these dimensions do not meet their goals, the target audience of the BCE/UNB will no longer be library user and will become non-user, because of the failure to meet their information needs in that library. The results of the indicators show that the BCE/UNB is not contributing in the teaching process, extension students of UNB.
