Usually, recorded information is accepted as the object of Information Science. In this paper, another object – or epistemological nucleus – is defended for the area: the Information Mediation. From this frame, the presumed neutrality and impartiality of the information professional is contested. Instead, the concept of information mediation proposed, insisting in two points: the interference and appropriation of information by the user. Information, understood as ephemeral and not existing a priori, is not the base of the information activities, but what it can be called “proto-information”. On the contrary, it is reading, more specifically informational reading, that is the key of the appropriation of information by the user, which will result in the alteration, in the transformation of its knowledge.Downloads
