The scientific-technological knowledge produced by the researches aims at solving problems of the society and contributes to its development. From this on, the process of scientific communication, through formal or informal channels, is essential for the constant evolution of the state of the art of an area. However, not always the information is found in the traditional means of publication, this way, gray literature is a valuable resource for many areas of knowledge. The development and evolution of new information technologies ensure to this kind of communication a dynamic and agile character, allowing the gray literature to reach recognition by the academia. Therefore, it is necessary to manage this type of literature as an alternative to the traditional means of acquiring scientific information. The proposal to create an environment of information retrieval and management of the literature generated in students’ meetings starts from the idea that it is often possible to anticipate trends, that would only be noticed when established means of dissemination publish such researches, often causing a loss of information existing only when the research is in progress or is subtracted when writing articles or books. Thus, the proposed use of the Open Conference Systems program not only allows greater flexibility and dynamism in the organization of events, but also, the development of a digital environment where works presented in the students’ events on library, information science and information management could be posted, allowing interaction among researchers, becoming an alternative to publication, assuming a memorial role for students’ events in the area, besides being a source of relevant information to the academic community.
