Information needs refer to information behavior studies, which include three types of behavior: information-seeking behavior, information-searching behavior, information use behavior, which involves purposeful searches, interaction with information systems and the individual's cognition. Information needs can be known from the moment the individual enunciates the need or by observing the behavior of that individual when he searches for information. Approaching this theme, this study sought to know the main information needs of students when they are in the process of scientific initiation. The main objective of the research was to investigate in which aspects an interactive e-book on scientific methodology can contribute to give support to the information needs of middle level technical professional education students in the process of scientific initiation at the Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology of Amazonas (IFAM), Manaus Campus - Downtown. For this purpose, a theoretical framework was built which considered the concepts of the research as scientific principle in Demo (2011), the information behavior in Wilson (1981), the information in Capurro (2007), as well as the arguments of authors whose discussions could contribute in the definitions, concepts and analysis of the information gathered from the research. The research had applied nature features, of exploratory and descriptive type, with a qualitative approach using the case study method. The target audience focused on participant students of the junior scientific initiation 2020-2021 cycle, on a total of 22 students vinculated to integrated and subsequent modalities courses. Data collection was carried out through documents, questionnaires and interviews. The content analysis technique was used, based on Bardin (2011) guidelines. Data analyses provided an information interlacement, which supported the visualization of three categories for the final analysis: 1) Dimensions of the construction of a research project; 2) Difficulty in recognizing search sources of scientific information; 3) Informational and instructive resources formats. From the analysis of the categories, compared to the analyses of the documents and questionnaires, the study showed that the subjects were involved during the process of scientific initiation in a framework of new, elucidative, directing and instructive information needs to build the research project. It was concluded that the interactive e-book contributes to support the information needs of students in process of junior scientific initiation when it helps to build the scientific project, it cooperates to the recognition of information searching sources and when it guides the student regarding the use of resources to recover the scientific information. PROFEPT seeks to articulate the research to the creation of an educational product that is applicable in the institution teaching contexts. The creation of the interactive e-book aimed at this proposal and it was grounded on the axes proposed by Kaplún (2003) which guides the construction of the educational material. It was used, as well, the storytelling technique in the construction of the e-book aiming at providing the communication of the information in a more dynamic way.
