We resorted to a case study by Central Library from Caixias do Sul University, making use of the testimonies of nine former students with outstanding academic performance between 2005 and 2012, along with data provided by the Library management system related to their book loans and that of their class colleagues. Our conclusions highlight that students attribute a highly relevant role to the Library in their learning and success in studies. It can also be perceived that there is a relationship between their average academic performance and the number of loans. The results we obtained suggest that the university library contributes to academic success. O objetivo dessa pesquisa é analisar a relação entre o sucesso acadêmico e a biblioteca universitária, procurando verificar se existem efeitos concretos decorrentes da utilização dessa e, particularmente, do serviço de empréstimos domiciliares, sobre o sucesso na trajetória dos acadêmicos. Para tanto, recorreu-se a um estudo de caso junto à Biblioteca Central da Universidade de Caxias do Sul, utilizando-se dos relatos de nove ex-alunos de graduação com melhor desempenho acadêmico entre os anos de 2005 e 2012, além dos seus dados de empréstimos de livros, bem como das informações de suas respectivas turmas, fornecidos pelo sistema gerencial da referida biblioteca. Como resultado, observou-se que os alunos entrevistados atribuíram um papel relevante à biblioteca para sua aprendizagem e êxito nos estudos, assim como foi possível perceber uma relação entre a média de desempenho acadêmico e o número de empréstimos. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que a biblioteca universitária contribui para o sucesso acadêmico. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/2234 10.34096/ics.i34.2234 spa Universidad de Buenos Aires, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/2234/2049 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/ICS/article/view/2234/2973 Información, cultura y sociedad; No. 34 (2016): Junio; 45-62 Información, cultura y sociedad; Núm. 34 (2016): Junio; 45-62 1851-1740 1514-8327 Bibliotecas Universitárias Processo de ensino-aprendizagem Sucesso Acadêmico Universidade de Caxias do Sul Brasil University Libraries Teaching-learning process Academic Success Universidade de Caxias do Sul Brazil The relationship between academic success and university libraries: an analysis of the loans at a Brazilian University A relação entre sucesso acadêmico e biblioteca universitária: uma análise a partir dos empréstimos domiciliares em uma universidade brasileira info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=biblioinfo&d=2234_oai
