Indexação de artigos científicos: recomendações para bibliotecas universitárias

Abstract

To organize and make available their collections, university libraries as information repositories depend on processes and services for analyzing and representing the content of its work. Responding to the scarcity of procedural works such as scripts and/or check lists for the indexation of scientific articles, it was proposed by the authors a method to design a script for indexing these articles. Through a bibliographic study related to these practices, recommendations are presented for the actions to be carried to contemplate items in order to allow for the standardization of the indexing process in the university libraries. In this sense, two script formats are indicated: Machine Readable Cataloging (Marc) and field naming. It is believed that the proposed script will aid in indexing these articles, improving the products and services of university libraries.
