Most of the Libraries of Higher Education Institutions are structurally organized as "Library Systems". This article presents reflections on systemic vision of "Library Systems", based on the theoretical support frames of Bertalanffy, Maturana and Varela. In order to analyze the similarities and differences between organizational structures "Library Systems" within a qualitative approach, there was a documentary research composed of 15 regiments SIBIs (available online) belonging to educational institutions offering higher education courses, including universities federal, state and federal institutes. Therefore, the following criteria were used: a) 33% regiments approved before 2000; b) 33% approved between 2001 and 2010; c) 33% approved between 2011 and 2016. The results show that the systems maintain a vertical organizational structure; however, there is evidence of a tendency to restructurings in SIBIs with less centralization of services and decision-making power.
