This study aims to analyze how the library directors of one library system in Brazil use the Ministry of Education evaluation indicators during the process of acquiring information resources. The research was carried through semi-structured interviews and analyzed descriptively, through a case study which sought to interpret the information, based on the theoretical framework that guided the development of the research with the library directors and public services librarians. Results show that there is a uniformity in the evaluation process and that the library needs to define, together with the faculty and the Administration of the Institution, a Collection Development Policy that should guide the purchase process of bibliographic materials in various formats for both existing and for new courses. Contributing thus to comply with the new guidelines established by Ministry of Education and hence resulting in improvements to the university library.
