SUMMARY:

Digital preservation constitutes a strategic and multidisciplinary field that integrates practices, policies, and technologies aimed at safeguarding digital documents, with the purpose of ensuring their integrity, authenticity, and continuous access over time, even in the face of constant technological change. In Higher Education Institutions (HEIs), particularly in university libraries, this practice has gained increasing relevance due to the expansion of born-digital and digitized bibliographic collections, many of which hold scientific, institutional, legal, and historical value, thus requiring systematic and robust strategies to ensure their long-term preservation and access. In this context, the general objective of this research is to map the vulnerabilities of digital preservation practices related to the bibliographic collections under the custody of the Zila Mamede Central Library (BCZM) of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), in order to support the formulation of strategies that ensure the integrity of digital documents and permanent access to information. The study is guided by the following research question: how does the Zila Mamede Central Library of UFRN carry out the digital preservation of its bibliographic collections? This is an applied research study with a qualitative approach and an exploratory and descriptive character. The methodological framework is structured into tive stages: bibliographic research in national and intemational literature on digital preservation, with a temporal scope from 2006 to 2026; a case study conducted at BCZM and at the Information Technology Superintendence (STI/UFRN); data collection through bibliographic research, documentary research, and semi-structured interviews with professionals from these units; qualitative analysis of the results, organized into thematic categories grounded in the literature and observed practices; and an evaluative analysis of the digital preservation practices of the bibliographic collections at BCZM/UFRN, culminating in the formulation of recommendations at the strategic- institutional, technical-operational, and formative-cultural levels. As a result, the study is expected to achieve an in-depth understanding of the current state of digital preservation at BCZM/UFRN, as well as to propose a digital preservation policy specifically directed at its bibliographic collections.
