Senac-RS’ Library System is made up of school and academic libraries. Inserted in educational and research Institutions, they are innovative libraries, based on knowledge and the search for quality in the services they provide. Committed to the institution’s mission, they adopt cutting edge information technology to achieve their goals. Senac-RS libraries are centers of information and reference, encouraging the reading habit and comprehension of information in its many different formats.

Currently, the Senac-RS Library System is made up of four academic libraries, two in Porto Alegre, one in Passo Fundo and another in Pelotas.

The collection of the Senac-RS Colleges covers a variety of fields of knowledge with special attention to Exact and Earth Sciences, Social and Applied Sciences and the Human Sciences.

The collection is open to scholars and the community and also provides access to the Internet for research.

The Senac Information and Knowledge System brings the library collections of the Senac Information Facilities together.

The network provides an Internet based bibliographic source called Base Mercúrio that brings together approximately 139,000 records from the libraries, and besides references, makes helpful summaries of the documents available. In order to put together the Base Mercúrio the libraries use CDS/ISIS software and follow guidelines provided by the Cedoc/DN Technical Coordination group. Access it here: http://www.senac.br/conhecimento/sics.html

The Pergamum Network makes a bibliographic catalog available of the Institutions that use Pergamum Software to manage their libraries.

The system makes it possible for users to research and select data for on-line records quickly and efficiently, speeding up the cataloguing process up to 70% through the process of importing data.
