MEMORIALISTIC ASPECTS

Abstract

Memory in Information Science is a relevant theme, since the object of study in this area is information, and through the recording and access provided by the informational flow, the individual can participate in and understand the present and reflect on possible future situations. In this aspect, accessibility allows people with disabilities to find structured environments and social scenes that provide quality service, enabling independence and autonomy for these individuals through the use of assistive technologies, such as audio description for visually impaired people. Thus, the aim is to understand how Audio description memory can be developed based on Information Science theories and practices. The methodology is based on qualitative research, using bibliographic techniques and qualitative procedures. The results show that audio description and audiodescriptive information are essential for the accessibility of visually impaired people in libraries and archives. It is concluded that Information Science and Audio Description can organize, represent, and disseminate audio description information, acting in an interdisciplinar, manner to promote the development of the memory of the field of Audio Description.
