Estágio supervisionado: um olhar a partir do Acervo Braille, da Biblioteca Central da Universidade Federal da Paraíba - BC/UFPB

Abstract

This article analyzes the management and significance of Braille collections within university libraries, focusing on the practical experience at the Central Library of the Federal University of Paraíba (BC/UFPB). Through an experience report derived from supervised internship, the processes of formation, production, and technical organization of the Braille collection are discussed, using the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC) and the Cutter table to facilitate information retrieval. The study highlights the fundamental role of these resources in promoting autonomy and inclusion for visually impaired individuals, while also pointing out the logistical, financial, and professional challenges involved in maintaining accessible and uptodate collections.
