MORAN REYES, Ariel Antonio. Converging technologies (nanotechnology, biotechnol- ogy and cognitive sciences) and their relationship with Library and Information Science. E-Ciencias de la Información [online]. 2019, vol.9, n.2, pp.121-140. ISSN 1659-4142.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/eci.v9i2.35897.

The denomination convergent technologies refers to the confluence of computational science with techno-scientific fields such as nanotechnology, biotechnology and cognitive sciences. The objective of this work is to point out and analyze the links that these convergent technologies keep with Library Science (which also uses the information and communication technologies), either in methodological, conceptual or application terms. The main conclusion is that both nanotechnology, biotechnology and cognitive sciences have reconfigured their own conceptuation of information in recent years. This has caused professionals from other disciplines, who study information, to stop to rethink its nature, dynamics and use.

Palavras-chave : Converging Technologies; Library and Information Science; Information and Communications Technology.
