The concept of appropriation has been widely used in Information Science in different contexts: appropriation of information, of cultural heritage, of space, technological dispositive and others. This fact raises the question about the meaning of the concept in this area. Therefore, this work aims to systematize references to the concept of appropriation in different areas of knowledge, differentiating it from other one such as adaptation, assimilation, internalization, incorporation and transmission. From these references, relevant key concepts were highlighted for the use of the concept in Information Science. As a working method, a review of literature in different contexts in which the concept is used was taken. Consequently, the main contributions on the concept of appropriation that has relevance and pertinence to the Information Science were systematized.
