O presente trabalho parte de vivência acadêmica envolvendo o 7º Período do Curso de Pedagogia da Faculdade de Educação Santa Terezinha do município de Imperatriz/MA na disciplina de História e Cultura Indígena Brasileira, tendo como objetivo refletir sobre a imagem do indígena na visão das acadêmicas do Curso de Pedagogia. Apresenta se um breve panorama do tratamento dado ao indígena quanto à construção de sua imagem. Utilizou-se como procedimento metodológico uma questão norteadora, através da qual, as acadêmicas relatam a visão que têm dos indígenas antes e depois da disciplina. A partir da análise dos relatos, considera-se que a primeira concepção representa a maneira pela qual foi tratada a história indígena desde o período colonial, o qual gerou um círculo de estigmatização da imagem do indígena no cenário nacional, fortemente presente nos dias atuais. Consequentemente, houve o apagamento da contribuição social dos povos indígenas, seja na formação do povo brasileiro e/ou em outras de ordem sociais e econômicas. A segunda, porém, atribuem-se às reflexões feitas pelos autores sob a mediação da professora na disciplina, que embora em um curto espaço de tempo, as acadêmicas puderam perceber que há necessidade em apurar os olhares em relação aos povos indígenas, sendo a Academia, na contemporaneidade, um dos espaços para que estes sejam ampliados. Contudo, considera-se, ainda, um desafio da educação contemporânea.Palavras-chave: Imagem do Indígena. Imaginário das Acadêmicas. Equívocos e Visões.

It presents a brief overview of the treatment given to indigenous people in the construction of their image. A guiding question was used as methodological procedure, through which, the academics report the vision that they have of the natives before and after the discipline. From the analysis of the reports, it is considered that the first conception represents the way in which indigenous history has been treated since the colonial period, which generated a circle of stigmatization of the indigenous image in the national scene, strongly present currently. Consequently, the social contribution of indigenous peoples was erased, either in the formation of the Brazilian people and / or in other social and economic ones. The second, however, is attributed to the reflections carried out by the authors under the mediation of the teacher in the discipline, who although in a short time, the academics could perceive that there is a need to clarify the views regarding the indigenous peoples, in contemporary times, one of the spaces for them to be expanded. However, it is still considered a challenge of contemporary education.Keywords: The Indigenous Image. Imaginary of Academics. Misunderstandings and Visions. Contemporaneity.

The paper discusses the correlation between Social Information Science and the school library by expanding the social activities of the school library and building a unique self-help section. This new section will include direct social information as well as belles lettres for support and encouragement A model of such a section was built in 1996 in a school library in Or Yehuda, Israel. It was very successful. Most of the pupils expressed interest in the new section: there was a significant increase in reading, mainly among the boys The subjects that most of the young readers were interested in were: general teenage problems, death, and sex. The new section became an attractive part of the library and of the whole school. Building such a section in schools will expand the activities of the librarian and increase the social contribution of the library to the community.
