Proposed study of model to improve quality in technical memory deposits in Digital library implemented in DSpace

Abstract

Introduction: One of the forms of dissemination of technical memory occurs through the government's Digital Libraries. These information environments can be developed and customized from various software. In Brazil, DSpace is one of the main systems used in the creation of Digital Libraries and Institutional Repositories, thus resulting in the representation, dissemination, access and use of information made available from these tools. Given this relevance, the information available in these information environments needs to be quality in order to guarantee numerous contributions to organizations, as well as to their users. Objective: Considering the need to ensure the quality of information available in Digital Libraries, the study in focus aims to propose a model to promote the improvement of the quality of technical memory deposits in digital libraries implemented from DSpace. Methodology: This is a study of qualitative and descriptive nature and makes use of the technique of bibliographic survey in national and international databases. Results: Based on the bibliographic survey, it was possible to propose the model of evaluation of the quality of deposits in Digital Libraries developed from the DSpace, thus presenting contributions to improve the quality of information available in these environments so relevant to the dissemination of knowledge. Conclusion: The proposed model will allow interested parties to evaluate the quality of deposits made in Digital Libraries, especially those created through DSpace software.
