Abstract

In considering the environment of a public library as a living organism, constantly changing, which changes and turns towards the development of society, there is talk of hybrid spaces, where traditional and digital technologies are complementary. In this context, the application of information management strategies in hybrid library provides to its organizational structures the development of public policies favorable to the development of communities, in that it contributes to the smooth functioning of the institution. In this perspective, the problem of this research is linked to the potential that the hybrid libraries provide to society. It is from this perception that seeks to establish a link between hybrid environments, informational management and development process of communities through public libraries. The objective is to verify how the hybrid libraries, through their public policies, technologies and organizational structures can offer development strategies of communities which are inserted. Hence, through a qualitative, with a comparative study method and a multiply cases study, a survey on Information Science literature will be made about the aspects between the concept of the library and the structural environment of the public library. Content analysis is a technique used as a tool to establish the basic categories for the use of data. Therefore, it is believed that the application of the management of hybrid information in units of information is essential for the promotion of access and service to the general needs of the target audience. Thus, the concept of hybrid libraries must be seen as one of the potential activities of libraries in the development of their communities.
