Abstract
This article seeks to trace the convergences between the sub-areas/disciplines of user
studies, mediation of information and information literacy aimed at the contexts of
social vulnerability, seeking to present more holistic views that contribute to the dis-
cussions of the area and for the development of social, digital and cultural protago-
nism of unfortunate groups. In this sense, the methodological procedures were estab-
lished through the ends as a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive research, seeking
to discuss the theoretical-conceptual assumptions and the possible dialogues among
the themes brought. Also, the study is classied as bibliographic, since it used read-
ing, analysis and interpretation of concepts and theories about the themes brought
up, seeking to present such assumptions and dialogues around the bias of the social
perspective of Information Science. As a result of the discussion, it is understood that
user studies, mediation of information and information literacy can be considered in-
terference actions, as they are concerned with the understanding and training of crit-
ical and reective citizens in the face of socio-informational realities. The set of these
actions consolidates an investigative posture of both the one who teaches as well the
apprentice, as it allows empowerment and emancipation in the tangle of available
information.
Keywords: User studies, mediation of information, information literacy, social vul-
nerability, appropriation of information, social empowerment.
