A implantação da lei de acesso à informação em arquivos públicos na voz dos usuários

Abstract

The access to information for many brazilian citizens became possible with the advent of access to LAI. However, it was noticeable, that even after the enactment of the law on public information must still improve its transparency mechanisms. This article comes from the report of a study that aims to investigate applicability LAI - in the view of internal users of the Federal University of Paraíba files - UFPB. We used as a qualitative methodology approach, from the perspective of oral history. We conducted a literature search in order develop a literature review on issues relevant to the research: LAI, Files and users. We undertake a field survey composed of a semi-structured interview with two coordinators of the UFPB files and from their accounts and in comparison with the literature, data analysis. We concluded that the applicability of LAI in the researched files goes beyond the enactment of the law and involves wider issues ranging from the lack of research tools to the knowledge of external users about their rights to access to information.
