This study deals with the actor-network theory and
stresses the concept of centres of calculation which is
seen as an operator capable of showing the role that a
library plays in the cyberspace. This concept uses the
Janus' paradox to recover the history of the libraries by
linking their past, present and future through the
operations that put them in motion. The idea of cyberspace
is discussed according to the assumptions of Pierre Lévy
putting in relief a major problem which is inherent to the
cybernetic medium itself and has to be faced by the
libraries, i.e. the intermediators. In turn, the idea of
centres of calculation is brought up since it allows to
recover services that place a library in action in the
cyberspace. An investigation in the network is done based
on the elements that indicate that the libraries of the
brazilian federal universities operate in the cybernetic
medium. It is evident from an analylis of the operators
identified in the evolution of these libraries that their
traditional pratices have incorporated a process of
continuous redefinition in response to technological
changes in the fields of communication and information. |
