Produções científicas sobre educação a distância no Congresso Brasileiro de Biblioteconomia e Documentação – CBBD

Abstract

This study maps the scientific production on Distance Education (DE) in the literature of the Brazilian Congress of Library Science and Documentation (CBBD) from 2014 to 2024. The qualitative, descriptive and bibliographic research analyzed the annals of the CBBD using key terms to retrieve publications related to distance education in librarianship. Thirteen expanded abstracts were identified, distributed between the 2015, 2017, 2019, 2022 and 2024 editions. The results indicate a low incidence of studies on the subject. The highest number of publications occurred in 2015, followed by a gradual reduction which may be due to the lack of priority given to distance learning by the library community at the CBBD, the dispersion of research to other events and changes in the topics covered. The survey concludes that there is a need for more discussion about professional training in the distance modality, given its importance in the democratization of teaching and in the continuous training of librarians, so the study highlights an open field for future research on distance learning in librarianship, with a view to strengthening academic production and the debate at the CBBD.
