Abstract

The study addresses the uses and applicability of technologies in the Supervised Curricular Internship in Library Science. This study aims to analyze the uses and applicability of digital technologies as a support to the Compulsory Internship in the remote modality of the Bachelor in Librarianship Course at UFMA, during the pandemic of the covid-19. This is an exploratory study, which uses bibliographic and documental research to discuss digital technologies as an aid to the mandatory internship; the research scenario was the mandatory internship spaces at the Integrated Libraries Directorate of UFMA; the data collection instrument was systemic observation. Presents as a result the realization of various activities through the use of digital technologies, such as communication and interaction with internal and external users, research, creation of information products and services, updating of content in databases, among others, as well as the need to reflect on the practices in the mandatory internship in a hybrid way. It concludes that digital technologies today are not only tools for communication and dissemination of science for the networked society, but also auxiliary springs for the teaching-learning process, especially for professional practice in remote emergency teaching, in the pandemic period we live in.
