This perspective, the objective of this work is to identify how the issue is being addressed "Networks" in Information Science. For that, had the object of study, the Working Groups (WG) of the National Meeting of Research in Information Science (ENANCIB), in which the articles presented in the last three years (2011/2013) were mapped, with the intention of checking approach the subject. The research is characterized as exploratory, descriptive bibliographical and documentary study, quantitative and qualitative nature. To identify the work that dealt about networks the following indicators were used: the presence of terms referring to "network" in the title, abstract and key words. This feature enables the identification of a significant amount of articles, demonstrating consistency in the study of the subject and interest of researchers of information science.
