  • The operative concept of paradigm, in spite of its immoderate use and semantic worn out, is quite useful and necessary inside a comprehensive epistemology of the scientific field of Information/Documentation. And through this concept it is easy to understand the evolution of the professional practice and the concerning techniques, not only related to libraries, but also to archives and even to museums. But, for that, it is needed to fix the degree of semantic proximity of the concept relatively to the original conception of the north-American physician and science historian, Thomas Khun, once the interpretation of such conception is not consensual. In our field, we have Rafael Capurro’s proposal, elaborated exclusively from the perimeter of the Information Science, born after the World War II in the USA, which associates ‘paradigm’, quite directly, to theoretical production, as it is understood through the connotation of the designations chosen by the author – physical paradigm, cognitive paradigm, social paradigm and social-cognitive paradigm; and we have the proposal made by the authors of this paper, that operate with two paradigms (the custodial, cultural, historicist and technicist and the post-custodial, informational and scientific). In this paper, it is intended to characterize the two paradigms through the analysis of some important elements related to professional practice and other connected to higher education and the subsequent research activity. It is a theoretical approach, based mainly in the analysis and comparison, in the light of the starting presuppositions, more than an applied research work, through which it is possible to communicate results and formulate conclusions from an empirical study.
