A AVALIAÇÃO PÓS-OCUPAÇÃO NA PRESERVAÇÃO DE ACERVO DE UMA BIBLIOTECA PÚBLICA

Abstract

In 2019, an interdisciplinary team adopted Post-Occupancy Evaluation (POE) methods in a public library where collections are relevant items. The building must ensure the best performance values to preserve the collections and its access to society. This article focuses on the results related to this and presents relevant aspects that cross several building systems. The field research, in addition to considering the comfort and health of users, focused on the storage conditions and the sources of risk for the collection preservation. In order to simplify the reading of the results, the diagnoses and recommendations were presented in maps format. We seek to contribute to the studies on the preservation of paper collections by demonstrating how POE multi-methods are compatible to risk management for preventive conservation, as well as its importance for the implementation of institutional preservation policies.
