Proposta para entrada de dados da catalogação de livros antigos na base minerva do Sistema de Bibliotecas e informação da Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

This research proposes the inclusion of data pertinent to the body of the bibliographic description of antique books regarding to the elements of "Handbook for the entry of monograph data in Minerva Base" from the theories and practices adopted in the Library of Rare Works of the School of Fine Arts of Federal University of Rio de Janeiro - EBAOR-UFRJ. The objective is to justify the use of the rules of the International Standard Bibliographic Description for Older Monographic Publications (Antiquarian) - the ISBD(A), for the description of antique books, corroborating the proposal of standardization and optimization of the bibliographic record in UFRJ. It considers as object, the antique book and its peculiar bibliographical and bibliological aspects. It emphasizes that detailed cataloging of the antique book is configured as a patrimonial security resource – since it singles it out, giving the institution proof of its ownership – and assumes a strategic role in the management of the antique collection. The research is exploratory and descriptive, based on bibliographical and documentary research. The research proposal aims at the standardization and qualification of the bibliographic records of antique books in UFRJ, highlighting the importance of the Manual in supporting the librarian service.
