Linguistic minorities, bibliotheconomic documents and the reality of a public library in Amazônia

ABSTRACT The paper analyzes the content of 4 documents from the Library Science area regarding attention to linguistic minorities and about issues involving equality of information to the citizens, analyzing the Public Library in Benjamin Constant, a municipality located on the triple frontier (Brazil, Colombia and Peru). The multiculturalism of the region, where urban populations, indigenous people and immigrants in neighboring countries are present, requires the attention to discuss linguistic minorities and informational citizenship. It also presents the results of on-site research, that describes the infrastructure of an Amazonian public library (facilities, equipment, collections, services, staff), and the impression and the vision of 24 residents of the municipality (6 being linked to the area of cultural management; 6 indigenous Ticuna and 12 randomly chosen people). The research concluded that there are no expressive advances in terms of inclusion policies within the public libraries for the 274 indigenous languages mentioned in the 2010 IBGE census in Brazil.

摘要 本文分析了图书馆学领域的4篇聚焦语言少数群体关注度及公民信息平等相关议题的文献，并以坐落于巴、哥、秘三国交界边境的本杰明·孔斯坦特市公共图书馆为研究分析对象。该区域兼具城市居民、原住民与邻国移民，文化多元特征显著，因此亟需开展语言少数群体与信息公民权相关议题的探讨。同时，本文还呈现了实地调研成果：内容涵盖亚马孙地区公共图书馆的基础设施（含场馆、设备、馆藏资源、服务项目与人员配置），以及该市24位居民的观感与愿景——其中6人从事文化管理相关工作，6人为蒂库纳原住民，其余12人为随机选取的普通居民。调研最终得出结论：针对巴西2010年巴西地理与统计研究所（IBGE）普查提及的274种原住民语言，公共图书馆的包容政策尚未取得显著进展。
