O termo letramento na expressão letramento informacional na Biblioteconomia e Ciência da Informação Brasileira: influências intelectuais e disciplinares

It aims to map the intellectual and disciplinary influences that contributed to the elaboration of the concept of information literacy (letramento informacional) in the field of Library and Information Science, through an analysis of citations from a corpus of works and a curricular biographical study on the Lattes Platform. It identifies that Magda Soares is the most cited author, both in terms of diversity and quantity of works. The most cited works to define the concepts of literacy (letramento) are by authors Magda Soares and Kelley Cristine Gonçalves Dias Gasque. The authors and works linked to the theoretical currents of New Literacy Studies and the New London Group were timidly cited, with the first appearances from 2016 onwards. The areas of Education and Applied Linguistics were the most significantly influential, but the latter was not consciously recognized as an influential area. The mapping confirms the interdisciplinary character of the said field, but highlights the need to strengthen its appropriations through a more in-depth study of its conceptual bases.
