Segurança da informação e o bibliotecário: um guia prático

Abstract

Today's society is characterized by information excess that is made available to people as a result of digital technologies that are advancing rapidly causing varied impacts. One of the impacts brought by this new era is the need to improve information organization, treatment, preservation and, in particular, information security strategies in the context of organizations. Based on informational security, organizations can achieve their goals and continue their business activities, producing innovation and obtaining competitive advantages. Therefore, this work aims to analyze the importance of information security precepts in organizations and the role of the librarian in this context. It specifically aims to point out the main concepts and characteristics of these precepts, reinforce their importance as well as identify standards, legislation and booklets aimed at good practices in this field. The methodology was characterized as exploratory, using the bibliographic research strategy considering information sources such as academic journals, books and websites, among others. As a result, it is inferred that currently, information security is safeguarding and efficient strategy in order to control informational assets in organizations such as information units. However, it is still necessary to implement good practices in this field. Th research also reinforces the need for Librarians to work in this field together in a multidisciplinary team, with a view to perpetuating good practices and promoting the desired innovation today.
