The present work of conclusion of course presents a reflection about the adoption or not of indexing policy in university libraries. In this way, the research developed on the topic of indexation policy was carried out in the central library of the Federal University of Sergipe and in the library Jacinto de Mendonça Uchôa, of the Tiradentes University, well-known information units, among the largest institutions of higher education present in the State of Sergipe, Brazil. Thus, this research aimed to identify the main aspects involved in the indexing process carried out by these information units, identifying whether these institutions had their own policy or any other document as the basis for the realization of the indexing activity. It was intended still to evaluate if the aspects adopted for the development of the indexing activity would be consistent with the recommendations described as necessary for the execution of the process as described in the literature of the area. Therefore, was chosen a descriptive and exploratory research to analyze the said university libraries. About the technical procedures adopted, was performed a bibliographic characteristic research, followed by a survey of information through a data collection developed through a questionnaire applied to responsible for the technical processing of each library is referenced. The Acquired responses were analyzed and interpreted, pointing out that the institutions surveyed do not have a policy of its own, but use other means to develop the indexing process, such as the observation of policies of other institutions such as the national library. Finally, it was examined, although the elements/ described aspects as necessary by the literature of the area, for the realization of the activity of indexing, are not fully used in the libraries of the examined instituitions. It was thus perceived that the concern with the subject of indexing, should be more valued by the institutions, especially as regards to the development of an indexing policy own for the specifics of each institution, taking into account the characteristics and needs of its users.
