The article briefly characterizes user studies in Information Science and goes on to set out the Information Science paradigms and relate them to the different approaches employed in the studies of information users. With its focus on the social prism and the perspective of informational practices, the text goes deeper into these concepts and presents three examples of research developed in this light. Finally, the ways in which these concepts can be applied in practice are discussed.

Keywords : Study of users; social approach; information practices; everyday life information seeking.
