The importance of mediating communicative information in library practice

Abstract

Since communication actions allow relational practices that go beyond knowledge transfer in librarian activities, the objective is to analyse the importance of information mediation as collective liberation action in the practice of librarians. For this, a theoretical study was sought, the development of which was based on the idea of communicative action by Jurgen Habermas, starting from self-reflection. Thus, in the practice of librarianship, the mediation of information prevails in the instrumental rationality of the technique and, for this reason, must therefore go through the plan of communicative and emancipated actions. Although the subject studied is explored in the literature, it should be considered that its theoretical and practical foundations have not yet been critically projected, especially when evaluating the "new" discussion relationships in Their environment and the new sense of library practices.
