Abstract

This study is aimed at analyzing and describing the cataloguing and indexing procedures in order to obtain the necessary subsides to the working up of a policy of documentary treatment. The partial results show that the cataloguers follow a systematized and consolidated methodology for descriptive cataloguing, but don’t show methodology for subject cataloguing; the information retrieval presents failures relating to the search by subject; and the documentary language does not answer adequately the demand, due to the incompatibility between the terms used in the subject cataloguing and those used by the users.
