Sumario:Information Technology influences the research and intellectual work in several areas of the knowledge. In libraries, technology is used by Information Systems in order to store, manipulate, filter and generate information through fast and efficient mechanisms. The present work intends to collaborate with the deepening of the knowledge concerning some fundamental questions of using Information Systems in libraries. It tries to understand and identify eterminative aspects of the usability barriers that block the interaction user/system. Starting from a bibliographical research the study was conducted comparing  onceptualizations of researchers of the area, in a critical approach. As a result, we point out that the library will be able to have its space extended through the librarians and users qualification to handle the Information Systems. The dynamism of the professional librarian acting both, as a guide to the nformation System use and as a research executor, also minimize the usability barriers.
