Atividades desenvolvidas pelo auxiliar de biblioteca e pelo técnico em biblioteconomia

Abstract

This paper aims to present a list of activities that can be developed by Library Assistants and Library Technicians, since there are few publications that address this topic. This research is characterized as descriptive and applied. The data collection was done through bibliographic research. It was decided to present the activities of Library Assistants and Library Technicians in accordance to the division of activities suggested by the Brazilian Classification of Occupations (CBO), adding a new group, called "Others", for services provided by libraries that are not mentioned by CBO but are supported by the literature of the area. The conclusion is that the literature is consistent with the CBO proposals, describing the activities of Library Assistants and Library Technicians, with relevant information that can be used as a library management tool for the distribution of routines / tasks and people management. It is important to mention that all activities of these professionals should be accompanied by librarians, as mentioned in the Brazilian legislation.
