Interdisciplinarity of Information Science (IS) is discussed from the point of view of students from different areas of knowledge who joined the Post-Graduate Program in Information Science of Federal University of Minais Gerais State, in 2007 and 2008, for improvement of researchers in revising concepts, approving, denying or formulating new theories. An approach, both quantitative and qualitative, has been methodologically searched for in order to express the opinion of the post-graduate students in IS of the Program. The data point out that information as an object of study, i. e., the theoritical rationale of IS and its interdisciplinarity proportiate a new dialogue insight of this area. The future information scientists coming from other areas og knowledge are able to collaborate with IS by identifying theories and methods which may help to consolidate interdisciplinarity.
