However, its principles can be appliedin informational environments, aiming to facilitate the finding of available information, which contributes significantly to the studies of Information Science. Objective: to present the foundations that define the concept of wayfinding in Information Science, according to the studies in Information Findability. Methodology:Based on a qualitative approach and through content analysis, articles are studied at national and international levels, found on the Portal de periódicos da Capes and the Base de Dados em Ciência da Informação, considering the period 2010 - 2020. The praxis was go through the content of these articles, understanding the categorizations and the core of meanings that underlie the conceptof wayfinding in Information Science. Results: a concept of wayfinding converging with this moment of scientific history and culture is proposed. Conclusions: at the current historical and cultural scientific moment, research on wayfinding has an exponential potential in Information ScienceAttribution 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/br/Wayfindingencontrabilidade da informaçãoambientes informacionaisinformação e tecnologiafindabilityinformational environmentsinformation and technologyentornos informativosinformación y tecnologíaarticlehttps://doi.org/10.5433/1981-8920.2020v25n4p549
