Abstract
It presents findings of the research on how Brazilian libraries record marginalia, or handwritten notes, contained in special and rare works, in their online public access catalogs (OPACs). It is applied research, with qualitative approach and exploratory objectives. It discusses the importance of bibliological analysis in this context and reveals that there is no standard for recording in the 14 OPACs investigated. In general, as libraries do not describe the attributes of this type of notes, as well as annotator identification, note type, publication location, brand type, quantity, among other details that help to qualify information in a bibliographic record.
