The objective is to verify the similarities and specificities aimed by the literature for the planning and implementation of digital repositories for archival and library purposes from the Information Science perspective. As the phenomenon of digital transformation in archival records and bibliographic records management occurs, discuss the applications of the theoretical foundations of Archival Science, Library Science, and Information Science in new ways of storing records go deeper into theoretical aspects in the literature of the respective areas which compete support theories applied to digital repositories that have theoretical intersections with Information Science. In this sense, this investigation starts with the following question: "what are the similarities and differences from the point of view of Information Science, the planning and implementation of digital repositories in Archival Science, Library Science?". Therefore, qualitative and bibliographic research was used to elucidate the interdisciplinarity of Information Science to the use of digital repositories for Archival and Library Science. The results suggested similarities between the two types of digital repositories in terms of providing access and, for that, preserving the records, however, archival repositories differ by the necessity to preserve extrinsic elements of archival records.

This article addresses the theme of mediations in a multidimensional way - vertical, institutional and horizontal mediation - and presents how these dimensions have been addressed in Information Science (CI) and Library Science and related areas (Archival Science, Museology and Information Systems) in publications in Portuguese. At first, the mediation concept is presented in its different manifestations, privileging its horizontal and vertical axis. Then, it was undertaken a panoramic study on abstracts of full articles published about that theme in 11 LIS, six Museology, two Archival Science and one Information Systems Journals, in the last ten years (articles published from january 2007 to October 2017). Through content analysis of those abstracts, it is possible to affirm the great variety of concepts and approaches of mediation. The general mediation concept is wide and generic, and has been approached in LIS and Museology, in reference as to macrosocial processes about the role of museums and library in social order, covering cultural actions, as to institutional process related do document organizing, and also situational processes related to educative actions and services offered to users and publics. By their turn, Archival Science Journals modestly present the theme, which one is almost absent in Information System Journals. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Between 1973 and 1982, M. Foucault dedicated himself to editing and publishing archival texts. He published Pierre Rivière's memorial in 1972, extracts from an English libertine's book in 1978, and the memoirs of a young hermaphrodite in 1979. In 1982, he published a selection of documents from court archives. This article, organized in two parts, aims to understand what was at play in that archivistic-editorial endeavor. In the first part, I analyze the relations among the texts that make up that corpus and their insertion in Foucault's overall research work of that period. Then, I address the contrasts between the project to publish a collection of archives of infamy, as it was announced in 1977, and the book actually published in 1982 with documents of the Bastille. In the second part, I put forward two hypotheses I consider to be connected to that editorial project: 1) it was a study of extra-literary conditions of the constitution of literature as knowledge; and 2) his effort to publish archival documents sought not only to "give voice" to those with no history, but also to show that a thought was embedded in their pronouncements. Foucault's performance swam against the main currents of historiographical dogmas at the time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
