| Sumario: | This article discusses the production of dictionaries and glossaries of Brazilian Sign Language, Libras and its main objective is to reflect and discuss the challenges and advances found in these productions over the years. The main theorists who support the reflective discussions are Faulstich (2011, 2014), Quadros and Karnopp (2004), Sofiato and Reily (2013) and Barros (2004). The research came from the research and analysis of two printed dictionaries and one virtual one. The main results were the persistence of the non-retraction / exact representation of the real dynamic three-dimensional production of the sign-term in two of these dictionaries; the lack of pertinent linguistic information that characterizes a minimum adequate structure of a dictionary, but, on the other hand, the increase of deaf and hearing researchers in the area of lexicology resulting in a growing coherent production of virtual glossaries favored by the technological advances in the present times.
