Abstract

This chapter reflects objective and subjective principles to organize and disseminate information. It presents the human condition in the dynamic of searching and using information by making explicit the informational need of the user with learning theories, information organization, and user studies as subsidies. This is done in order to increase the development of cognitive trajectories to search, select, and use information, bearing in mind the permanent process of modifiability to face new environments. Finally, the text focuses on the social and economic development promoted by the science and technology advances, pointing out the social gap that has emerged from this reality.
