The relationship between epistemology and curricular structure is established from studies in which the attainment  of   knowledge   is   preserved.   In   Information   Science, some   elements   are   widely   discussed,   such   as: interdisciplinarity, the relation with the information technology and the social insertion. The present study intends to analyze the curricular structure of the General Training Syllabus, common to the courses of Archival Studies, Librarianship and Information Science that are offered by the Department of Information Science of UFSC, from  the perspective of information technology. It uses qualitative research as a way of approaching the problem, once the data  were collected directly from the existing documents and classified for an interpretative analysis by the researcher; concerning technical procedures, this study is supported by a bibliographical research in o rder to gather theoretical references, which were chosen intentionally for their already renowned relevance to the field of study; concerning the objectives, it is characterized as an exploratory and descriptive research. As a result, it was possible to identify that the epistemological relationship of these areas remains preserved.
