Abstract

Donations are seen as an estimated source of acquisition for the federal university libraries, which suffer with low budgets and time-consuming bidden processes. With the regulation of Decree No. 9764/2019, which is about the receipt of donations of movables and services of private individuals or legal entities of private law by the organs and entities of the Federal Public Administration, Autarchic and Foundational, this practice already consolidated has suffered relevant changes. It is an exploratory and descriptive research with quantitative and qualitative approach, whose main objective is to investigate the impacts of Decree No. 9764/2019 for the receipt of donations in federal university libraries of the Northeast Region of Brazil. The methodological procedures include a literature review about the following themes: university library, collections management with emphasis on donations and the Decree No. 9764/2019 with the establishment of regulations for receiving donations. In the field research, it was used a questionnaire as a data collection instrument whose sample constituted of 16 university libraries of the Northeast Region of Brazil. In order to analyze the obtained data, it was adopted Content Analysis described by Bardin for the qualitative data while the quantitative ones used statistics resources with the presentation of data in graphics and tables. The reached results indicated that the impacts of the Decree No. 9764/2019 are already perceived in the federal university libraries, although they are still not following the regulation. The negative impacts are noted by 31.3% of librarians in relation to the receiving donation process, both by private individuals or legal entities. It is found the lack of dialogue of this regulation by the Regional Councils and the Federal Council of Librarianship, once they were not mentioned by the interviewees in any moment of the research. Due to this, it is suggested that the librarians who work in the federal university libraries could discuss with these institutions about possible changes in the Decree No. 9764/2019 for the adequacy of regulation to these information units, considering the existence of librarianship practices consolidated in collections management.
