Introduction: In Brazil, the Information Literacy has gained more and more space in the scientific and professional scope in the areas of Library Science, Information Science and Archivology. In the period from 2000 to 2019, twenty years have passed since the first production about the theme appeared in the country, making it important to analyze its impact in this context.
Objective: This research has as general objective to analyze the contributions of the information literacy for the Information Science from the analysis of the scientific production of the annals of the National Meeting of Post-Graduation in Information Science (Enancib) of the last five years. More specifically, it aims to identify the most used terms to designate information literacy, to verify the amount of work on the theme by Working Group, to identify the approaches to research on competence in information from Enancib from the indicators in information literacy.

Results: Research on the subject has been expanded over the years at Enancib, the most used term was information literacy; the indicators that achieved a significant amount of work were information literacy in theoretical contexts and approaches and CoInfo and libraries, librarians and archivists.
Conclusions: We observed the thematic approaches that need to be further researched, those that maintain a certain periodicity, since they help in the maturation and consolidation of the theme and those that, possibly, will continue to be discussed regarding the aspects of information literacy in the country, having or state of the art to offer information in what it says respect to the period not limited.
