  • The work presents the results of the first stage of the research on the insertion of competence in Information in the curricula of two courses of Library Science in Brazil and Mexico. Therefore, it is adopted as a methodological approach to exploratory research of a bibliographic nature. The empirical material examined was the curricular flows, the elements and, in some cases, the programmatic contents of the disciplines of two Library Science courses and similar ones existing in Brazil and Mexico. Collect and analyze two due dice by means of the content analysis of the items and discipline programs. The results reveal that Competência em Informação is more and more present in the format of disciplines in the curricula of two courses of Library Science in Brazil and Mexico, well as contained as a programmatic content of some discipline of the curriculum. Furthermore, the analysis reveals that the curricula do not have a standardization of the use of the term "competence in Information" in both countries. I conclude that competence in Information is a content that is presented in both a disciplinary and transversal way in some curricula, but that still no two curricula are found in most of Brazil, differently from Mexico.
