Theoretical references on the theme "library management": na investigation in the literature in face of the base of newspapers in information science (BRAPCI)

Abstract

Units and information services are located in a context of intense redefinition. Reflections caused by the uptake of new technologies allow a continuous stream of changes that, while there are new products and services, it provokes obsolescence of others. The contemporary technologies have the potential, in large part, to fulfill the technical procedures previously performed by humans. However, while the technical doings are replaced by machines, other problems arise, which requires human intervention, to manage activities and work
processes, technology and human relationships. Thus, this article looks at what has been published on the subject "Library Management", as a consequence, analyzing the role of manager librarian. Reflects about the work processes that guide activities in a library. It describes the role of the librarian to leave the technical profile to qualify as a manager. Conducts literature in the Journal Base in Information Science, through the descriptors "Library Management" and "Information Management Unit." We conclude that, although the scientific literature about this theme has appeared in the literature, most studies analyzed is still focused on technical and operational procedures. It was found that the studies analyzed address with greater intensity the management of
activities and work processes and management with focus on technologies used in the unit, being quite scarce discussions about the management of the human factor in the environments and information services.
