Library mediation in the development of competences during supervised stage

Abstract

It presents results of research developed with the objective of analyzing the role of the librarian in the training of the Librarianship student during the supervised stage, as mediator in the development of competences that meet the demands of the labor market. This is research guided by the qualitative approach, with an exploratory research method. Data were collected using a questionnaire and interview script, and the data were analyzed using the content analysis technique with the establishment of categories. The results demonstrate that the librarian's participation as a technical advisor represents a key access to the market, being an active mediator of this market-academia pass. For this, the network that is formed in the stages should be considered as the cell that generates professional relationships that can contribute to the development or improvement of the skills of those who are already in the market and who will still reach, through the continuous exchange of experiences. We conclude that the supervised internship is a bridge between academy and society, and the librarian is the mediator, who can contribute both to the development of the technical skills inherent to the daily routines of the profession and to the behavioral competences, and that library mediation goes beyond the technical orientation, becoming a dialogical action between the subjects (technical advisor and trainee) that build a sedimented relationship in the exchange of experiences.
