SUPERVISED INTERNSHIP IN LITERATURE AND SACRED: AN EXPERIENCE AT THE JUAREZ DA GAMA BATISTA LIBRARY

Abstract

The aim of this article is to present the experiences lived by us, students of the Bachelor's degree in Religious Sciences (CR) at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), during the Supervised Internship I (ES) carried out at the Juarez da Gama Batista Library, located within the Foundation Cultural Space of Paraíba (FUNESC). Through the internship, we sought to improve
technical skills and expand the theoretical knowledge acquired during our academic formation. The methodology used to solve the problems encountered in the library involved a thorough analysis of the collection, identifying the main demands of the users, and implementing efficient organization methods. The results were obtained through the development of projects, such as the implementation of a standardized cataloging system and the organization of the sacred literature collection. The internship provided us, interns, with the opportunity to experience the work of a religious scientist in practice, aiming
to contribute to professional development and the formation of a broad and critical view of the library's role in society.
