Abstract

A socio-cognitive-based research is presented on the use of indexing languages in indexing and retrieval by the professional cataloguers of the libraries of Education, Civil Engineering and Dentistry of the State University Paulista “Júlio of Mesquita Filho” (UNESP). Three verbal protocols were applied individually to the indexers while doing their work. They rarely use an indexing language and therefore they could not translate the terms identified in the document. Instead, they apply the subject headings coming with the derived cataloguing records, without adapting them to the new institution.
