Competências infomidiáticas e digitais: uso do Canva por bibliotecários no contexto teresinense - PI

Abstract

Introduction: Librarians began to develop their routine activities and explore new platforms and digital media networks, new services and products began to be offered with the use of the internet and social networks. Thus, the present research has as its theme: Infomedia and Digital Skills and Abilities. Objective: To identify the Infomedia and digital skills and abilities of librarians from Teresina who use the online tool Canva. Methodology: The purpose was to undertake exploratory research because it aims to improve ideas and provide greater familiarity with the problem (GIL, 2002; GERHARD; SILVEIRA, 2009). We opted for a qualitative research and a bibliographic research on the proposed theme, carrying out field research, involving direct questioning of the subjects through interviews using the free video tool called Google Meet. Data collection will be carried out through digital interaction, through semi-structured interviews. The research subjects will be librarians from federal, state and private public institutions, residing in Teresina - Piauí. The video call interviews will be recorded and later transcribed. Results: This research is ongoing, and the expected results are based on the specific objectives. The first specific objective is to verify the evolution of librarians regarding the use of digital technologies in their daily practices; it is expected to collect information to create a timeline that demonstrates the evolution of this professional regarding the use of digital media through bibliographical research. The second objective is to discover how librarians use media skills to meet the informational needs of the academic community. Interviews will be used as a way to collect as much information as possible; and for the last specific objective, which is which Canva layouts are most applied in products created by librarians, a survey will be carried out to list these products created using the online tool. Final Consideration: This work constitutes an exploratory framework that aims to encourage the creation of new information, through tools such as Canva, which have a range of layouts that can be applied to products offered by the library to its users.
