A prática do boletim bairro a bairro no carro biblioteca: relato de experiência

Abstract

The Car Library and the Neighborhood to Neighborhood Bulletin are two extension projects of the Escola de Ciência da Informação, Universidade de Minas Gerais. Both are aimed at mediation and dissemination of the information being, consecutively, one through a mobile library and another through a monthly publication. We used the literature review and the active participation in the project for the construction of this work. It was concluded that extension has been done in a mechanistic and automatic way, pushing users away rather than approaching them, thus escaping their goal and slowing down the process of social transformation. Therefore, one must make na analysis of the current performance of the car and rethink whether the visits and ways of approaching the communities are being effective.
