Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the characteristics of Brazilian school libraries surveys, produced by various authors from 1979 to 2011. Analysis was made of eighteen published surveys, in order to get a view of what has already been studied and is known regarding the conditions of Brazilian school libraries. Analysis was made of: the objectives of the surveys, the methodologies and data collection techniques, the theoretical approach, the results obtained and the conclusions and recommendations made by the authors. The variety of procedures for collecting and analyzing data used in each survey precludes inferences and conclusions. However, taken together, these studies constitute a partial picture of school libraries in the country, confirming the precarious situation of these institutions and making more visible the problems they face.
