This research proposes to verify which technological resources are used in the teaching process, in the subjects of Library Science courses, in the Open and Distance Education (EAD) modality, for the conservation of bibliographic collections. It discusses the importance of librarians knowing preventive conservation actions and techniques for minor books repairs to ensure the physical integrity of materials, the sustainability of libraries, as well as maintaining access to information. It is noted that among 22 Librarianship courses in the distance learning modality researched, only 15 have subjects focusing on preservation and conservation of collections. The research reveals that, in face-to-face courses, only 11.7% have mandatory conservation subjects, while in distance learning, this percentage rises to 46%. It proposes to develop a pilot application that will address collection conservation tips with the aim of contributing to the construction of digital learning materials, offering a model for future applications on the multidisciplinary topic. It describes the methodology as applied, qualitative in nature, through a case study. It concludes that the research contributes to Librarianship, especially on the conservation of collections, a topic that requires new research and in-depth study.
