The purpose of this research was to identify Information Literacy from the point of view of Scientific Literacy as an interaction factor between History of Science and Information Literacy, when considering the issues of access and use of documents and information sources contributing to the consolidation of evaluation criteria for the purpose of transposition and applicability of these principles by researchers in the field of History of Science, who are known as senders and receivers of information as well as creators of scientific knowledge. By means of methodological procedures involving literature research, establishment and transposition of basic standards and Information Literacy performance indicators for the access and use of documents and information sources, case studies compiled from field researches, including desk research on the Simão Mathias Center for Studies in the History of Science - PUC/SP (CESIMA), workshop and interviews with researchers from the Center, it was possible to collect data and reach conclusions that reflect the relationship between theory and practice, having Information Literacy as the main factor, as initially proposed by the research. It is believed that the result has been achieved as identification of proximity between History of Science and Information Science, evidenced by the analysis of documents located and obtained by the late investigators George Sarton and Paul Otlet as well as supplemented by information sources that have led to inferences showing that the two areas have links of interaction in different dimensions. It has also been possible to systematize and reconstruct meanings of Information Literacy and demonstrate how this new discipline constitutes a link of interaction between History of Science and Information Science. Such discipline should be considered a necessary tool for the accessibility and usability of documents and sources during a research. The performed systematization has led to the configuration on the characteristics of the universe of studies and research in the History of Science performed at CESIMA, and it can be said that ever since its institutionalization, developed projects and achieved results have consolidated it as a Center of Excellence in this field. It is hoped that the achieved results will be able to contribute to and provide subsidies for a continuation in this direction allowing the construction of scientific knowledge in society
