Abstract

Presents the results of bibliographic research on the Brazilian scientific production in the field of Information Science about the theme of sexual diversity. Considered the epistemological reflections on the social responsibility of Information Science. Empirically, it is clear that the LGBT position has little or no representation in the literature of the Information Science area, in terms of Brazil. The bibliographic research is made in Base de Dados Referencial de Artigos de Periódicos em Ciência da Informação (BRAPCI) in August of 2016. The theoretical and conceptual context includes the social responsibility of Information Science relating it to the problem of sexual diversity. Concludes that the Brazilian Information Science has very little production on the theme of sexual diversity and LGBT individuals, requiring more work on this problem in view of the diversity is also an element of social responsibility of a scientific field.
