Cataloging, beyond the library environment and the descriptive representation of bibliographic materials, as traditionally done with books, can be performed in different types of informational resources, in the most diverse media, following description standards that aim the sharing, cooperation and retrieval of these materials. The present research has as its theme the cataloguing of textile flags of fabrics, a theme little explored in the studies of Librarianship, but which is commonly used in the textiles of the Fashion Design Courses. For the development of the research, the general objective is to identify the requirements, norms and standards for the representation and description of textile flags in textiles libraries and to achieve it, the specific objectives are To evidence the importance of the techniques of organization and representation of information in teak libraries for the area of knowledge of Fashion Design; to verify which data are necessary for the representation of textile flags and how these are described by the norms and rules of cataloging; and, to structure a manual of guidelines for the cataloging of textile flags of the teak library of the Federal University of Piauí (UFPI). It is configured as applied research, with qualitative approach and as for the objectives is exploratory-descriptive, because it is a theme that requires a thematic deepening and from this will be identified and described the guidelines for cataloging the textile flags, according to the norms of representation of the Anglo American Cataloging Rules - 2nd edition (AACR2) and the Resource Description and Access (RDA), as well as the fields of the Machine Readable Cataloging 21 (Marc21), for cataloging the fabric samples. The research approaches the Organization and Representation of Information and Knowledge, identifying where descriptive representation fits in and highlights the trajectory of cataloging and its instruments; After that, the history of Fashion is analyzed, from the point of view of Moscovici's Social Representations (2003), a brief chapter is developed about the classification of fabrics and then the importance of the textiles for the Fashion courses was exposed, and the last two chapters point out how the cataloging is done in each of the cited instruments, one in a general way, bringing the norms, areas, fields and subfields that should be filled out to catalog the textile flags according to AACR2, Marc21 and RDA, and the other transfiguring them to the textile flags of the UFPI's teak library. Finally, it was found the existence of specific cataloging methods for clothing and could be applied to textiles, because the AACR2 has rules for cataloging clothing - three-dimensional object - that can be adapted to MARC21 from the filling of fields and subfields compatible, consequently, to the RDA also, based on the guidelines of this instrument. This makes possible the standardization of the descriptive representation of textile flags and the elaboration of the Manual of Cataloging of Textiles.
