The representation of the information needs aiming the retrieval of relevant information has demanded from the areas of Information Organization and Retrieval the development of theoretical and instrumental models which may help in the procedures of analysis, synthesis, representation and retrieval of the documentary contents, contributing both to the theoretical sedimentation of the area and to the professional training. In this context, the perception of the demand of the information needs of a users’ community becomes an important aspect to be considered by the indexer in the process of treatment of documentary contents of an information system. This way, one proposes an investigation about the representation of the information needs in the user’s perspective, in order to identify conceptual elements and models that may provide the indexing professional with subsidies for the treatment of information of documentary contents, turned to the demand of the users’ community of an information system. By means of an exploratory approach of theoretical investigative nature and a methodology of analysis of the theoretical search models of Tom Wilson and David Ellis, this research aims at contributing so the indexer may be able to improve the representation of the documentary contents and enlarge the vision about the demand of the users’ community. The results obtained signal that, for the treatment of documentary contents turned to the demand, the option of the socio-cognitive approach demonstrates to meet in a more satisfactory manner the complexities that involve the user in his/her social dimension and, consequently, his/her information needs.
