Encontrabilidade da Informação em ambientes informacionais digitais sobre Perfumaria: uma análise do web site Fragrantica. Orientador: Fernando Luiz Vechiato. 2024. 74 f. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação) - Curso de Biblioteconomia, Centro de Ciências Sociais Aplicadas, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2024.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/60018Considering the current context in which the Networked Society generates a large volume of data on a daily basis in various sectors, this research evaluates the theme of Information Findability (IF) in digital information environments, with a focus on the Perfumery sector. The Fragrantica website was used as the object of study, as it is an important site in this area. The aim of this research is to investigate the use of Information Findability attributes on the Fragrantica website. To this end, an exploratory and descriptive study was carried out with a qualitative approach, complemented by a documentary study, using the systematic observation technique for data collection and analysis, using the IE attributes checklist as an instrument, in order to analyze these attributes on the aforementioned website. The results showed that, despite Fragrantica's satisfactory performance, some features and attributes still need to be improved, such as: the inconsistency of terminology and the lack of standardization in the metadata show that the consistency of the information could be improved; the absence of folksonomy resources indicates a lack of collaboration through the attribution of terms that represent fragrances by users; the lack of adequate navigation paths and the absence of digital accessibility resources reveal critical points that need attention to ensure intuitive and inclusive navigation. Therefore, the study concludes that, although Fragrantica meets most of the attributes of EI, there is still a need for improvement, and that this work makes a significant contribution to Information Science by addressing EI in the field of Perfumery, an area that has been little explored, opening up avenues for future research that can expand this knowledge in this and other specific sectors.Attribution 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/br/BiblioteconomiaEncontrabilidade da informaçãoAmbientes informacionais digitaisPerfumariaFragranticaLibrarianshipFindability of InformationDigital information environmentsPerfumerybachelorThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS SOCIAIS APLICADAS::CIENCIA DA INFORMACAO::BIBLIOTECONOMIA
