Organização, acesso e uso do acervo de livros do Espaço LGBT da Paraíba

Abstract

This work approaches the importance of the librarian professional practices in nontraditional informational units as Espaço LGBT - Centro Estadual dos Direitos LGBTTs (State Center for LGBT Rights) at João Pessoa, Paraíba state. We made a describing and exploratory bibliographic research to perform our practical process on Espaço LGBT literary collection, that is, we made organizational, cataloguing and automation procedures, which were possible thanks to Biblivre software. The librarian influence provides notoriety for subjects that can improve the informational unit actuation as a citizenship camp. With those actions, we intend to spread a library content about gender, sexuality along with general acknowledgement that may promote respect for the LGBTT community. The violence against lesbians, gays, bisexuals, transvestites and transsexuals (LGBTTs) is a violation of the human rights related to sexual orientation and gender identity. The visibility of the aid specialized organizations is one of the many challenges on the prevention and treatment of homophobia. Once the librarian professional actuation is fundamental on the improvement of the informational flux, we sustain how essential is the study concerning LGBTTs social issues, in order to improve the social role of the librarians.
