This study aimed to examine the use of standard MARC (MAchine Readable Cataloging record) by university libraries that comprise the Southern region of Brazil, and is proposed to identify the use of interoperability. Therefore, based on the assumption that, despite the libraries, to choose a standard metadata to describe their collections, choosing, in the main, by default MARC such libraries do not have the primary goal is interoperability. The study considers this feature of great importance because through it is possible to maintain the standardization of databases, implement the cooperative cataloguing, reduce efforts and avoid the re-work. It advantages in the use of communication protocols combined with patterns of metadata. As for results, the survey showed that the state searched that most uses standard MARC is the Paraná (PR), where 68% of libraries surveyed say use it, the Rio Grande do Sul (RS) is the state that uses the least default, being used by 60% of respondents libraries. The principle of interoperability you can see that the PR uses this feature in about 85% of libraries respondents, followed by Santa Catarina, which exports and import through MARC in 66% of the respondents libraries. Considering that most libraries are consulted computerized (users of software managers libraries), and these make software (70% of them) the completion of cataloguing via standard MARC, the university libraries of the South Region of Brazil still hold the interoperability of a timid; As suggestion to alleviate this low utilization and low utilization of resources from the search MARC concluded that the development of cooperatives among libraries would be one of the exits to split expenses and profits with the development of software enabling the interoperability and standardization via use of MARC.
