Abstract | We approached gender differences in information and communication
technology (ICT) use and appropriation and other aspects of information literacy
in this study that focused on users of a large and modern public library located in
a poor neighborhood in Rio de Janeiro. We took into account the literature and
research evidence that considered the importance of the public library as a place
for ICT and information literacy development. We also took into account the
literature and evidence on gender differences in ICT use that tend to emphasize
that women show lower interest in ICT and lower levels of ICT literacy. We
obtained the empirical data through a study carried out in a new experience called
“park library”. As a whole, the data suggested that these public library experiences
do not seem to represent a major contribution to the development of information
literacy of this user group. | pt_BR |
