Abstract/Résumé/Resumen
The availability and the access to technical-scientific publications has been generating discussions, principally on the 21st century. Movements like the Open Access defend the idea that resources and scientific articles, that were funded with public money, must be available for inquiry in electronic medias and must not charge any taxes for the access. Based on the experience of the project Scientific and Technologic Production of National Institute of Technology (INT), this work reflects the question of the availability of institutional memory in electronic medias without breaking the copyright laws. Research and academic institutions try to follow this tendency and look for making public their institutional memory. In Brazil, therefore, the law 12.527 was published in November 18th, 2011, that law give access to all the information produced by the public bodies, with problematic caveats to the research documentation that seems to include themselves at the law exceptions.
