Avaliação informacional em ambientes colaborativos

Abstract

Abstract: This study aims toanalyze how economically active librarians evaluate information in collaborative environments. We adopted a descriptive approach involving both quantitative and qualitative elements. The target population consisted of librarians active until March 2019 on the professional register of the Conselho Regional de Biblioteconomia da quinta região (CRB5, the regional library association of the Brazilian Northeastern states of Bahia and Sergipe), a population which then amounted to 595 librarians. However, only the 116 librarians who responded to the survey could be included in the final sample. The results were favorable regarding information evaluation in librarians’ work, but we did remark some concerning weaknesses, as some respondents had trouble distinguishing information frommisinformation.
