The approach to this initiative in its informational or repositories preservation policies indicate that there are information retrieval. It aims to propose preservation strategies for the use of these metadata, based on the bibliography, information policies and preservation of institutional repositories. It analyzes how the description of preservation metadata sets occurs in the policies of these repositories and compares the strategies proposed by the researchers, using Bardin's content analysis method. The research is descriptive and explanatory, and the research approach will be quanti-qualitative.
