In the production and communication practices in academic context, scientific information is the element that drives the activities of researchers in the construction of their work. The use of scientific information process favors the acquisition of new knowledge, contributing to the advancement and development of science. In the academic environment, specifically graduate, the use of scientific information is of paramount importance for the development of academic work, as well as the field of foreign literature for access to content present in the literature in the sphere of science is critical of information. The use of this literature in the context of information science, enables the generation, communication and knowledge sharing among researchers. Thus, the research aims to analyze the use of foreign literature in thesis graduate programs in information science. To reach the goal, the research is classified as descriptive, document and quantitative. Therefore, the empirical field corresponded to graduate programs in information science (PhD) at UNESP / MAR, UNB and UFMG. The corpus of the research is linked to the bases of these institutions, defended in the period from 2011 to 2013, totaling 103 theses. The instrument used for data collection was the standard form in an Excel spreadsheet containing the categories necessary to the process of collecting and analyzing information, such as: language, document type, document source, authors of reference today. For data analysis we used the analysis of references, based on bibliometrics. It was found by the results, that the foreign literature is represented by a percentage of 36.8% of the literature used in the preparation of theses by their authors, while the national literature surpasses the use of a general, over 60% of total analyzed references. As for the use of foreign literature, the survey indicated that most of the theses was characterized by doing "little use" of this literature, may reveal the lack of knowledge of other languages by the authors of the theses and the loss of access to information in academia and scientific. It was also found that the most widely used language of foreign literature is English, followed by Spanish and French. Regarding the most common document type is the journal article, followed by the book and the electronic document. The geographical origins, mostly are from the USA and England. The group of authors and co-authors of foreign literature consists of theoretical directly linked to information science. About today's foreign literature, it was found that the authors of the theses make use of recent references. It is considered, therefore, that the contemplation of this theme saw new knowledge to the science of information with regard to awareness when using foreign literature, from the confirmation that it enables increased access to valuable information provided in the theoretical framework the area in which researchers work.
