Studies in Information Organization and Representation have been redefined over the years in search of a guarantee of information retrieval and access especially due to the diversity present in cultural heritage institutions. Such diversity can be characterized by search behavior, retrieval mode and access to information, (re)configuration of informational production and adopted technologies. In this way, concepts, models, standards and formats of information organization and representation have also been discussed. This research is part of this universe and seeks to discuss the purposes of MARC21 Format and BIBFRAME as standards of information representation in digital information environments. The discussions involve, as a background, the expansion of the universe of information search and retrieval by communities as well as metadata use and reuse by technological parks; both relate to the availability of information by cultural heritage units on the web through the description of resources. In order to meet the proposed objective, the research presents a qualitative approach, of an applied nature, with a descriptive and exploratory profile. At the same time, it uses bibliographical and documentary research. Because this is a recent theme, this paper intends to serve as a social and theoretical contribution for future research on this topic.

This dual-language (Portuguese and English) collection of autobiographical writing by refugees from Angolan children and young adults living in Britain is illustrated with photographs and children's drawings and includes comprehensive country introductions. In the collection, young people give their accounts of migration and explore how their identities are changing in their new country. The writings can be a useful resource for teachers, particularly those who want to bring a global dimension to learning. Following the "Factbox" (country introduction) and a general introduction for teachers that provides historical background on Angola, the collection is divided into the following sections and each includes several writings: (1) "Lembrancas de Angola" ("Memories of Angola"); (2)"Familia" ("Family"); (3) "Guerra" ("War"); (4) "Deixando Angola" ("Leaving Angola"); (5) "A Vida na Inglaterra" ("Life in Britain"); and (6)"A Vida de Refugiado" ("Life as a Refugee"). Includes a resources section that lists books, briefing papers, fact sheets, materials on refugees, and useful addresses. (BT)
