From that, it can be deduced that information is a common element for the construction of this interdisciplinary corpus, as well as it is a product amenable of management. The paper is characterized as an exploratory study with qualitative approach, of bibliographic type.

It is concluded that it is indispensable the adoption of guiding procedures for the identification of the information needs of the individuals who compose the corporate environment as a necessary way to reach the organizational objectives
