The Librarianship and Documentation course created in 1959 at Escola de Biblioteconomia e Documentação de São Carlos, was one of the precursors in Brazil and responsible for training most of the first librarians and teachers in the area. In 1973 the school was incorporated by Fundação Educacional de São Carlos until the course was offered by the Universidade Federal de São Carlos (UFSCar) in the 1990's, where it became Librarianship and Information Science. Many years after the creation of the course, its history is still not properly described, recorded and contextualized scientifically and epistemologically in relation to the currents and discourses built and assumed in this historical path. In this context, the objective of this work is to collect, systematize and analyze documents that describe since the creation of the Librarianship course until its incorporation to the university; and to collect, analyze data for the construction of indicators of the guidelines and undergraduate and graduate courses. From the systematized materials we also aim to identify the predominant theoretical currents in the course at UFSCar. The methodological procedures were defined according to the phases of research, the first phase was developed from an exploratory research, which used as a starting point, bibliographic surveys related to the teaching of Librarianship and resorted to historiographic research, based on documentary research, using records about the creation and operation of the Librarianship course in São Carlos (in this context, the research had a limitation in scope due to the difficulty in locating and accessing original documents that narrate the course trajectory in the city); The second phase was characterized by a quali-quantitative approach with analysis of the curricula available in the Integrated Academic Management System of UFSCar and of the orientations given by the professors from the Lattes curricula. Excel was used for the compilation of this data, as well as for the construction of the graphs and tables. Twenty documents, issued by different bodies, were found and considered relevant. Also, the undergraduate curricula from 1994, 1997, 2004 and 2013 and the first graduate curriculum were identified and analyzed. The undergraduate and graduate orientations and scientific production of the DCI teachers were analyzed, considering the absence of systematized records about the activities developed by the department and its teachers over time and the need to draw a profile of the scientific performance to identify epistemological aspects. It is concluded that there is still a great need to recover and describe the historiographic records of Librarianship in São Carlos for institutional memory purposes. After analyzing the data, it was found that the university course broke away from the characteristics of the French current marked by documentation, where currently it presents greater emphasis on the American current taken by Information Science, an aspect which has also been evidenced in the post-graduation.
