The literature review of the term ‘information’, starting from a terminological approach, has the aiming to identify traces which help in a better delimitation of the Information Science field. The comprehension of the identity characteristics of the Information Science is a conjectural need, observed in the context of the post- modernity on which the field tries to ‘consolidate itself’. The use of the guidance of the Terminology Communicative Theory, which considers the pragmatic and social aspect of the terms, was an important resource to stress out how the different perspectives of the term ‘information’ corroborate the construction of a thematic view of the Information Science area.
