We discuss some meanings given to those categories, both conceptually and exploratory, focusing on areas of Librarianship and Information Science and Cognitive Science. Then, we present the contemporary cognitive categorization and their constituents, since they are configured as an alternative to the proposed current categories and also as a possibility to be explored in the field of LIS. %K Categories %K categorization %K contemporary cognitive categorization %K Librarianship and Information Science %K Cognitive Science %U http://aprendeenlinea.udea.edu.co/revistas/index.php/RIB/article/view/11968/10846
