REFLECTIONS ABOUT DOCUMENT REPRESENTATION AND INFORMATION RECEPTION

ABSTRACT

It presents reflections of documentary representation, relating it to the informational reception by the individual. The Information Science operates with the handling of documents with the concern of making the user informed, so that, from the information received is possible the generation of knowledge. The methodology used to develop this work consisted of bibliographic surveys in national and foreign databases, made possible by the Integrated Library System of the University of São Paulo (SIBI / USP). It was verified that there are relations between the concepts since the informational reception is optimized through the proper and reliable documentary representation, which goes through cognitive and compulsorily communicative processes for its appropriation. In this way, the intellectual, scientific, technological and cultural development of society can be achieved through the representative process. The act of receiving information does not necessarily imply the generation of new knowledge, but it is clear that the area of Information Science can help from the representation allied to the cognitive processes that involve human thought.
