ResumoO acesso e o uso da informação são questões relacionadas ao desenvolvimento humano em seus múltiplos aspectos. Percebe-se um diferencial entre as pessoas que têm acessibilidade aos meios de informação -uma pequena parcela da população -e as que não têm. Nesse sentido, as bibliotecas públicas, os telecentros ou, ainda, a articulação entre os dois organismos de informação são propostos com o objetivo de democratizar o acesso e o uso da informação junto às comunidades e segmentos sociais alijados da participação em sociedade. Essa é a reflexão, feita a partir da literatura e documentos sobre o objeto deste texto, com ênfase nos telecentros, visto que as bibliotecas públicas, historicamente, vêm sendo debatidas há muito tempo, enquanto que os telecentros são organismos emergentes e devem contar com políticas mais sólidas, para que não esbarrem nos mesmos entraves que impossibilitaram o sucesso daquelas. Iniciativas de comunidades, em particular, têm oferecido resultados otimistas nesse sentido. Palavras-chaveBiblioteca pública. Telecentro. Tecnologia de informação e comunicação. Inclusão social. Public libraries and the telecenters: information organisms to democratize and social inclusion AbstractBoth the access and the use of information are issues related to human development in its multiple aspects. There is a difference which can be noticed between people who have access to the means of information -a small percentage of the population -and those who do not. This way, the public libraries, the telecenters or still the articulation between these two information organisms are proposed with the objective to democratize the access and the use of information within communities and social segments which are currently excluded from participating in society. This is the reflection proposed, based on literature and documents on the object of this text, with emphasis on the telecenters, once the public libraries have been historically debated since long ago, whereas the telecenters are emergent organisms and should count with more solid policies not to come up against the same restraints which have impeded the success of the former. The initiatives of some communities, in particular, have provided optimistic results in this direction.
