Resumo: The public library has a duty to welcome the LGBTI+ community through specific products and services. This research is based on queer needs, trying to understand how they relate to the public library and focusing on the library's existing collection and the services it offers, which can help to identify the level of reception of the LGBTI+ community. For the Sintra Municipal Library case study, specific research tools were developed: an observation grid, which compared the desired reality with the reality observed in the library; a checklist of classic queer books (1886-2002), organized for this study in order to evaluate the library's collection; reflective field notes, as a way of monitoring the case study; and a recommendations grid, the result of extensive reflection on the current state of the Sintra Municipal Library's products and services and consisting of a set of measures derived from Portuguese sources of support. Divided fundamentally into the evaluation of the collection and services, the research revealed a public library with the necessary foundations to become an inclusive space for gender diversity. The lack of knowledge about the LGBTI+ community and their information needs is still a reality, so only through collaboration with national and regional LGBTI+ organizations can the current situation be improved. However, respect for the LGBTI+ community and their needs on the part of BMS librarians is a fundamental aspect.

Esta investigación parte de las necesidades queer, buscando comprender su articulación con la biblioteca pública y centrándose en la colección existente en la biblioteca y en los servicios que ofrece, lo que puede permitir identificar el nivel de acogida de la comunidad LGBTI+. Para el estudio de caso de la Biblioteca Municipal de Sintra, se desarrollaron herramientas de investigación específicas: un cuadro de observación, que comparaba la realidad deseada con la realidad observada en la biblioteca; una lista de control de libros clásicos queer (1886-2002), organizada para este estudio con el fin de evaluar la colección de la biblioteca; notas de campo reflexivas, como forma de seguimiento del estudio de caso; y un cuadro de recomendaciones, resultado de una amplia reflexión sobre el estado actual de los productos y servicios de la Biblioteca Municipal de Sintra y consistente en un conjunto de medidas derivadas de fuentes de apoyo portuguesas. Dividida fundamentalmente en una evaluación de la colección y de los servicios, la investigación reveló una biblioteca pública con las bases necesarias para convertirse en un espacio inclusivo para la diversidad de género. La falta de conocimiento sobre la comunidad LGBTI+ y sus necesidades de información sigue siendo una realidad, por lo que sólo mediante la colaboración con las organizaciones LGBTI+ nacionales y regionales podrá mejorarse la situación actual. Sin embargo, el respeto a la comunidad LGBTI+ y a sus necesidades por parte de los bibliotecarios de BMS es un aspecto fundamental.A biblioteca pública tem o dever de acolher a comunidade LGBTI+ através de produtos e serviços específicos. Esta investigação parte das necessidades queer, procurando compreender a sua articulação com a biblioteca pública e focando a coleção existente na biblioteca e os serviços que esta oferece, o que pode permitir identificar o nível de acolhimento da comunidade LGBTI+. Para o estudo de caso da Biblioteca Municipal de Sintra, desenvolveram-se instrumentos próprios de investigação: uma grelha de observação, que colocava em comparação a realidade desejada com a realidade observada na biblioteca; uma checklist de livros clássicos queer (1886-2002), organizada para este estudo, de modo a avaliar a coleção da biblioteca; notas de campo reflexivas, como forma de acompanhamento do estudo de caso; e uma grelha de recomendações, resultado de uma reflexão extensa sobre o estado atual dos produtos e serviços da Biblioteca Municipal de Sintra e consistindo num conjunto de medidas decorrentes de fontes de apoio portuguesas. Dividida, fundamentalmente, na avaliação da coleção e dos serviços, a investigação revelou uma biblioteca pública com as bases necessárias para se tornar um espaço inclusivo da diversidade de género. A falta de conhecimento acerca da comunidade LGBTI+ e das suas necessidades informacionais é ainda uma realidade, pelo que apenas através de colaborações com entidades LGBTI+ nacionais e regionais se pode procurar incrementar a situação atual. No entanto, o respeito pela comunidade LGBTI+ e as suas necessidades, por parte dos bibliotecários da BMS, é um aspeto fundamental.Asociación de Educación e Investigación en Ciencia de la Información de Iberoamérica y el Caribe2023-12-21info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionResearch PaperArtículo de InvestigaciónArtigo de Pesquisaapplication/pdfhttps://ojs.edicic.org/revistaedicic/article/view/19910.62758/re.v3i3.199Revista EDICIC; Vol. 3 No. 3 (2023): Special Issue: Information Literacy, digital humanities and gender studies: trends and challenges; 1-14Revista EDICIC; Vol. 3 Núm. 3 (2023): Número especial: Alfabetización informacional, humanidades digitales y estudios de género: tendencias y desafíos; 1-14Revista EDICIC; v. 3 n. 3 (2023): Número Especial: Competência em Informação, humanidades digitais e estudos de gênero: tendencias e desafíos ; 1-142236-575310.62758/re.v3i3reponame:Revista EDICICinstname:Asociación de Educación e Investigación en Ciencia de la Información de Iberoamérica y el Caribe (EDICIC)instacron:EDICICporhttps://ojs.edicic.org/revistaedicic/article/view/199/217Derechos de autor 2023 Revista EDICIChttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNogueira, InêsRevez, Jorge2024-04-26T11:27:43Zoai:ojs.pkp.sfu.ca:article/199Revistahttp://ojs.edicic.org/index.php/revistaedicicPRIhttp://ojs.edicic.org/index.php/revistaedicic/oaiedicic@edicic.org2236-57532236-5753opendoar:2024-04-26T11:27:43Revista EDICIC - Asociación de Educación e Investigación en Ciencia de la Información de Iberoamérica y el Caribe (EDICIC)false
