Abstract

The main purpose of the present report is to question the role of libraries in Brazil. Throughout a presentation regarding the history of the Library System of the Federal University of Goiás (UFG), that became real through the study realized between 2009/2010, in order to develop the final paper work for the title of specialist in Cultural History from the same university, it was possible to identify: the conceptions of what is a library in the context of the public from UFG and, in some ways, to Brazil; the encouragement policies developed for the use of libraries, considering new structures from information technologies and the persistent difficulties to keep a modern and suitable institution for the information seekers / users. It has been concluded that, from the experience identified in the history of the Library System of UFG, that libraries in Brazil are still this day working and existing without a lot of recognition; the higher management tend to invest a little for a suitable structure and for quality and still persists in a confuse relationship between information seekers / users and the library.
