O processo de descrição das resoluções administrativas do Tribunal Regional do Trabalho da 22ª Região

Abstract

Assuming that document description functions as a primary mechanism in the organization and access to information, especially in institutions that handle a large volume of information of various types, this study, whose theme is the description of archival documents, aims to present the process of describing administrative resolutions at the 22nd Regional Labor Court (TRT-22), considering the staff turnover responsible for this activity in this public judicial body. The research methodology encompassed the case study and observation research types, while a questionnaire with open-ended questions was the instrument adopted for data collection, with two employees of the 22nd Regional Labor Court, identified as interlocutor 1 and interlocutor 2 to protect their identities; one is a section head and the other is a collaborator, a provider of outsourced services. The results indicated that the process of describing the administrative resolutions of the Regional Labor Court of the 22nd Region using the AtoM computerized system has some considerable gaps and/or limitations from the point of view of document description in an automated system for public access, notwithstanding the use of the Brazilian standard for description (NOBRADE). Within the scope of this study, it is concluded that the process of describing the administrative resolutions of the TRT of the 22nd Region, although encompassed by archival standards and disseminated through the AtoM software, presents significant limitations stemming from the absence of a professional archivist, staff turnover, and insufficient training.
