Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da UFPB: análise da frequência de acesso às teses e dissertações dos programas de pós-graduação do campus I identificados na BDTD - UFPB

Abstract

The repositories are essential tools for researchers, for access to information, for visibility of scientific production and for preservation of institutional memory. Therefore, it is increasingly necessary to implement them in universities and institutions. The Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations of UFPB was the repository that subsidized this research, whose objective is to analyze the frequency of access to UFPB postgraduate programs in the BDTD, by researchers from other countries. This research is characterized as a case study and used the exploratory and descriptive approach. Fifty-one programs available at BDTD-UFPB were analyzed. As a conclusion, it was verified that the Graduate Program in Development and Environment (PRODEMA) was the one that obtained the greatest number of accesses, and the country that most sought the theses and dissertations was the United States of America. We also note that another 14 countries are frequently accessing the theses and dissertations of the graduate programs in BDTD.
