This article deals with the debate of scientific information access in the context of learning society, questioning its ideological point of view and its political philosophy particularly about the access to the academic scientific information. The text presents a perspective of the information society development in Brazil, from the analysis of the concept of a global information infrastructure introduced in the early 1990s, and relates the efforts to insert the Brazilian economy in the context of the information network. It criticizes the current model of learning society and proposes a new way to deal with informational competence and with the process of “learning how to learn”. Finally, it shows new questions about the subject, including even the regulation of the networks and the need to promote effectively the free access to scientific information.
