A raridade bibliográfica na Biblioteconomia e na Ciência da Informação brasileira: abordagens a partir de categorias discursivas

Abstract

The text presents reflections on the bibliographic rarity in Librarianship and Brazilian Information Science, having as reference two perspectives – temporal (1941 to 2015) and discursive (rare book concept, history of the rare book in Brazil, institutional experience reports and criteria of rarity), with a view to reflecting on the evolution of intellectual production about the rarity in these fields and the actors who contributed to the mobilization of these discussions. In view of this, it presents a selective – and not exhaustive – panorama of discourses referring to the rare book in Library Science and Information Science in Brazil with the objectives of systematizing the intellectual production in the area and indicating the evolution and contributions of librarians in this context. In terms of the results, the perspectives revealed by the intellectual production on the topic today were systematized; and projected possible contributions to studies on bibliographic heritage in Brazil.
