Abstract

This work addresses the scientific production about child reading in the BRAPCI database. Its general objective is to verify at BRAPCI the existence of scientific articles alluding to child reading. And as specific objectives to identify the related themes that represent the theme within the IC; to organize the available references in the base and elaborate a list; to disseminate the list to the community of the Department of Information Science of the Federal University of Sergipe; to make a bibliometric study with the authors and journals that deal with the theme highlighting the dates. With regard to methodology, the search is classified as exploratory, descriptive and quantitative, with delimitation of the search terms by: reading for children and reading for children (correlate), covering three fields: title, abstract and keywords. As for the results, it was noticed that BRAPCI does not have a large number of articles alluding to child reading. It was concluded that it is up to the Information Science professional to be interested in and emphasize the scientific productions taking into account the benefits that are obtained for the child public, as well as encourage in libraries actions to encourage reading based on the assumption that this work stimulates the production of knowledge and transforms the child into an active being, capable of executing and sharing the knowledge acquired.
