SMART CAMPUS E A GESTÃO DA INFORMAÇÃO: APLICABILIDADES NA UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DE CAMPINA GRANDE

Aims to analyze the Smart Campus practices of the Federal University of Campina Grande (UFCG) in relation to the Information Management (IM) stages of the Choo model. Smart Campus is a research area in which technology and infrastructure are used to support and improve their service processes in higher education institutions, assisting teaching, extension and research. Information Management brings benefits in the administration of information in an integrated, coherent, efficient and effective way; it facilitates decision making and maximizes the quality, availability, use and value of information. UFCG has been using Smart Campus techniques since 2019, with the objective of integrating the Internet of things to campus management, teaching and the intra- and inter-organizational collaborations. This study has an exploratory and descriptive nature, with a qualitative approach and a direct documental nature, and for whose development we used the Content Analysis technique and applied a questionnaire to the Smart Campus implementation project manager at UFCG, indicated that the Smart Campus applications combines with the Choo ’ s IM model. UFCG is concerned with identifying information needs, which is acquired through interaction between teachers and students on social networks and distributed through weekly meetings with interest groups, the websites and social networks. We concluded that this institution does not practice the Choo ’ s IM model steps of information ’ s use and performance evaluations, although there are initiatives in progress.
