It consists in a literature review about the main concepts of document and documentation that were thought by authors who studied them to contribute to the theoretical development in Library and Information Science. In this aspect, it analyzes the neo documentation theory focusing on understanding its concepts to introduce them as part of producing audiovisual documents, especially in television stations from the information sources and resources available. After that, it presents a discussion about three dimensions which compose audiovisual documents: text, sound and visual dimensions, where each one of those elements has own meaning and relevance to conceive the audiovisual information. Television stations are introducing in this study and the main kinds of tapes, discs and video file format are presented as documents that compose moving images collections. Thus, the conception of the audiovisual document in television stations is also presented based on producing own and external documents, as well as primary, secondary and tertiary documents. Finally, this paper concludes that it has been necessary to develop theoretical and epistemological studies in Brazilian Library and Information Science, focusing on the specificities of audiovisual documents and information.
