Bibliotecas universitárias públicas no YouTube

métricas dos canais

Abstract

It analyzes federal and state university libraries regarding the development of new ways of interaction and communication with their communities, based on YouTube viewing metrics. It is characterized as an exploratory and descriptive research which use a mixed approach with bibliographic and documentary research techniques. For the survey of Brazilian federal and state universities, the E-mec platform was used, in which the following filters were applied in the search: all federative units were considered, selecting only universities of a public federal and state public nature, totaling 110 universities. Based on the listed institutions, websites of the universities were accessed and later the tabs entitled Library and/or Library System were located. In the libraries tab, information about social networks, tutorials and YouTube channel was found. When this information was not found, it was searched directly on YouTube by the abbreviation of the university, associating it with library or library system. Thus, 57 library channels were located, channels starting from 1,000 subscribers, leaving 14 channels linked to 14 universities. University libraries in the south and southeast region consolidate their practices and services in the channels and the greater flow of publications and views in the channels corresponded to the period of social distancing, inferring that university libraries used the platform as a communication resource. The recurring themes in the 70 videos listed focus on the Lattes Curriculum, the standardization of academic works (citation, reference), use source’s information/research in databases, use of bibliographic managers (Mendeley, EndNote, Zotero), the construction of academic papers TCC, research project and scientific articles (writing) and academic plagiarism, use of Canva, Excel, Open Journal Systems.
