Biblioteca escolar: produção acadêmica a partir da Lei 12.244/2010

Abstract

This study was based on the assumption that the school library is a relevant environment in reader formation, which is why different areas (library science, education, and literature) produce studies on this topic. In this line of thinking, search to analyze the production on school libraries within the scope of Postgraduate Programs in Information Science after the entry into force of law 12.244/2010 came into effect, which deals with the universalization of School Libraries. Hence, intending to gather indicators that would highlight the functionality of this space as a place of memory, reading, education and culture, part of the history of these institutions was reconstructed. Intending to gather evidence about the functionality of this space as a place for reading, reader formation, education and culture, search it in literature the theoretical framework to investigate the library in the school context. In this sense, the research chose as it is general objective the analysis of production on school libraries within the scope of GPIS after law 12.244/2010 came into force. Specifically, search to: inventory Brazilian postgraduate programs in Information Science; raise the production of Postgraduate Programs in Information Science on school libraries between 2010 and 2022; identify the themes addressed in research carried out on the school library in the analyzed period; verify the relationship established between the School Library and reading for reader formation. In this way, the research is characterized as bibliographic and documentary, of the descriptive type, with a qualitative and quantitative approach, in which scientific productions (theses and dissertations) of the Postgraduate Programs in Information Science were used as a data collection instrument, which deal with school libraries and actions related to reading and reader formation. The data were analyzed in light of the literature and the researches interpretation. The results arising from this investigation show that: scientific production stricto sensu, after the entry into force of Law 12.244/2010 is significant; the southeast and south regions are those with the largest number of productions; there is a diversity of content covered in research on school libraries; contents such as ;reading; and; reader formations; appear timidly represented, and, there fore, the relationships between them and the school library are little visible in the productions. It is concluded that there was an increase in scientific discussions on the topic, given the number of dissertations, theses, and content covered in these productions, results that show the relevance of the topic for Information Science.
