LIBRARIES AND BUDGETARY GOVERNANCE

PARLIAMENTARY AMENDMENTS AND INSTITUTIONAL SUSTAINABILITY IN BRAZIL

Abstract

It presents exploratory research on the use of parliamentary amendments as a source of funding for libraries, highlighting the importance of this mechanism for managers facing scarce budgets. The introduction contextualizes amendments both through the lens of public planning criticism and as a fostering opportunity for culture and education, suggesting that librarians identify legislators sensitive to the cause to make projects viable. The final considerations reinforce that there is a vast field to be explored by managing librarians for fundraising, although the current scenario remains limited and heavily focused only on the acquisition of collections.
