Análise da indexação e recuperação da informação na Biblioteca Digital de Teses e Dissertações da Universidade Federal de Goiás

Abstract

Conceptualizes what indexing is and discusses the steps involved in this process. Its main objective is to analyze the indexing policy used in the BDTD-UFG, as well as its impact on the search and information retrieval process by the user, answering the following question: How does indexing impact the search and retrieval process of the information in the BDTDUFG? The specific objectives that helped to answer this question were: (1) to know the indexing policy used; (2) to identify the difficulties faced by BDTD-UFG users in retrieving information; (3) analyze the process of searching and retrieving information by the BDTDUFG user; (4) verify the correspondence between the adopted indexing and the information retrieval. The constructed theoretical foundation seeks to portray aspects of the analysis of primary and secondary sources of information, which allow reflections on: information organization (IO), documentary indexing and indexing policies. The research was applied with the Gerência de Recursos Tecnológicos - GRT, of the Sistema de Bibliotecas da UFG (SIBI-UFG), under which the BDTD-UFG is subordinate, as well as with the students of the Programa de Pós-graducação em Comunicação da UFG( PPGCOM-UFG), in order to obtain data that would elucidate the question raised. This is a basic research, with an approach to the problem characterized as quali-quantitative, in which an interview, a questionnaire and an experimental analysis were carried out. It is concluded that the way the works deposited in the BDTD-UFG (only derivative and using natural language) does not facilitate the search, especially when it is refined by subject, which is a demotivating factor, causing users to stop use it to carry out your research.
