In general, the libraries and the universities indoors particularly, is not different, increasingly these organizations incorporate such technologies in developing its products and the performance of its services in order to better serve its users / customers internal and external. However, in our empirical observations we found that although these technologies are part of the daily life of these institutions, but we found few studies about evaluation and even less related to the use of reports by managers. That is why this research is part and has the following question: What is the contribution of the information produced by the system modules Pergamum for decision making of managers in the context of development policies of the collections of the library system of the UFC? In this sense, defined as main objective to investigate the contribution of information produced by the modules of the system management process in Pergamum library system of UFC with respect to decision making by managers of these libraries, the management process of policy criteria development of the acquis. The research makes use of the functionalist approach that seeks to explain aspects studied in terms of functions performed by the institutions and their consequences for the community involved. This is a case study, being the locus of the empirical research library system, Federal University of Ceará, whose universe consists of the managers of libraries that are part of this system are involved in collections development policy. After, we investigated all 17 libraries in the university sector and the data were collected through a questionnaire covering issues relating to the use of technology for the management of development policy of the collections. The study results confirm that, except for two managers, others use the information that the System Modules Pergamum offer to manage the system as a whole and particularly in respect of the Collection Development Policy.
