RESUMO

Visually impaired people (DV) rarely make use of libraries for several reasons. Some libraries are unable to offer specialized services and inclusive materials that meet the needs of this audience. In this framework the Student Virtual Library of Portuguese-Speaking of School of Future - USP (BibVirt), supported by the Secretary of Culture of São Paulo has developed an audio program for the promotion of reading and literature: Literary Categories - encouraging reading for the visually impaired. The following study aimed at (i) investigating, based in transdisciplinary reflections, the production process of Literary Categories, by analyzing the stages of production of the programs, (ii) disseminating Literary Categories as a project that makes use of information and communication technologies to improve the lives of DV people regarding reading and literature, also reaching normal visual people and (iii) demonstrating that the combination of different media can contribute to the expansion of services in schools, institutions and virtual libraries. This is a qualitative research with characteristics of action research, supported by a series of references on the subject of transdisciplinarity. As a procedure, the researcher participated in all phases of project development, recording the stages of the series production in videos, photos and asynchronous communications, via email. This study concluded that transdisciplinarity is concerned with a broader world understanding, so it can result in a unity of knowledge, stressing that the collaborative gathering of professionals from different disciplines and areas of expertise has contributed to the production of quality inclusive materials, which also benefit people without disabilities, and that the combination of different media types facilitate access to them. The contribution and originality of this thesis consisted of several factors related to education and inclusion of DV people, which because of its limitations find difficulties and, sometimes are denied access to reading and literature. This research may contribute to the emergence of other initiatives, not only in BibVirt, but also in other virtual libraries, in providing services for people with a disability, expanding the collection of talking books, Braille books, books on LIBRAS, but also on other topics that go beyond the literary.
