Objective. The present paper aims to verify if the Libraries of Higher Education located in Florianópolis (Santa Catarina, Brazil) have formalized cataloging policies to guide your cataloging processes. Method.

To collect data, surveys in institutional websites and investigations at the Libraries of Higher Education (by phone and/or e-mail) were carried out. The data analysis was achieved by means of a documentary analysis, with a previously defined guide. Results. As result was found that, because the documents do not have the minimal requirements to been characterized in this way, no one of the Libraries of Higher Education have Cataloging Policies. Nevertheless, they have some items that must appear in Cataloging Policies, like elaboration date, guidelines for authority control and indication of rules and / or auxiliary instruments adopted.
