Knowledge Management is a complement to the organizational administration. Among other features, it recognizes the informal information flows, whose treatment requires the use of technologies, promoting the creation, storage and transfer of knowledge. Social Networks, in this context, represent the actors that create, generate and disseminate this knowledge, reinforcing the idea that organizational knowledge is established from the social construction. This article is a theoretical essay whose goal is to introduce some concepts that approximate the themes Knowledge Management and Social Networking. It is an exploratory research conducted through a literature review. Results indicate that such approaches have contributed to the Science of Information and can be applied in organizational environments such as libraries. Social Network Analysis methodology can be an important ally in the promotion of these studies.
