Hi!
Hi! I’m Daniela (and I’m a law librarian)
What is this research about?
This research deals with the concepts of the librarian as a professional and his or hers specialty in the
legal area. It presents updated data of these professionals, the libraries in which they work and difficulties
of their educational and professional path
What’s the objective here?
The objective is to provide updated quantitative and qualitative data regarding the law librarian's
profession and to name the services offered in the state of São Paulo
The Law Librarian Edilenice
Passos
The law librarian is the professional with a bachelor’s degree in
library science, working in institutions related to the legal area
Edilenice Passos (2001) defines the “law librarian” as:
“a professional who facilitates access to legal information in a
fast and efficient way”
According to Mendes (2010), the law librarian is able to work in:
"university libraries, court libraries, forums, law firms,
governmental and nongovernmental agencies“

Education
Paiva et al (2017) considers that the education of the librarian occurs through a
bachelor’s degree in Library Science, with an average length of 4 years
Bachelor’s Degree | Library Science | 4 years
In Brazil, the education of the librarian is quite generic. Specialization takes place
with experience and with daily routines in a particular type of library, or information
unit. In the legal area, in many cases, librarians feel the need to graduate in law,
seeking greater knowledge in the area. There is also a gap in relation to the
disciplines of Information Science with the legal area in scientific publications (Passos
and Barros, 2009)
The librarian in São Paulo – Brazil
In São Paulo there are 12.131 registered librarians and 4.646 active librarians in june 2018,
according to the Federal Library Council - Conselho Federal de Biblioteconomia (CFB)
