Bibliotecas Públicas, LGBTI , Sintra, PortugalResumen
La biblioteca pública tiene el deber de acoger a la comunidad LGBTI+ a través de productos y servicios específicos. Esta investigación parte de las necesidades queer, buscando comprender su articulación con la biblioteca pública y centrándose en la colección existente en la biblioteca y en los servicios que ofrece, lo que puede permitir identificar el nivel de acogida de la comunidad LGBTI+. Para el estudio de caso de la Biblioteca Municipal de Sintra, se desarrollaron herramientas de investigación específicas: un cuadro de observación, que comparaba la realidad deseada con la realidad observada en la biblioteca; una lista de control de libros clásicos queer (1886-2002), organizada para este estudio con el fin de evaluar la colección de la biblioteca; notas de campo reflexivas, como forma de seguimiento del estudio de caso; y un cuadro de recomendaciones, resultado de una amplia reflexión sobre el estado actual de los productos y servicios de la Biblioteca Municipal de Sintra y consistente en un conjunto de medidas derivadas de fuentes de apoyo portuguesas. Dividida fundamentalmente en una evaluación de la colección y de los servicios, la investigación reveló una biblioteca pública con las bases necesarias para convertirse en un espacio inclusivo para la diversidad de género. La falta de conocimiento sobre la comunidad LGBTI+ y sus necesidades de información sigue siendo una realidad, por lo que sólo mediante la colaboración con las organizaciones LGBTI+ nacionales y regionales podrá mejorarse la situación actual. Sin embargo, el respeto a la comunidad LGBTI+ y a sus necesidades por parte de los bibliotecarios de BMS es un aspecto fundamental.
