Abstract
In contemporary times, the lack of capacity of individuals and communities to analyze and use information critically and to follow the cycles of technological advances results in disadvantage and in the maintenance of hegemonic contexts. This article presents a Systematic Literature Review with the objective of raising whether information literacy has been correlated with social innovation in the literature, to support the assertion that both areas are correlated and can be approached together in interdisciplinary studies, with benefits for the study of the two thematic areas. The results from the search in the Scopus, Web of Science, SAGE Open and Academic Search Premier databases were scarce and suggest that the topic has a potential field of study, which opens space for the suggestion of future research that aim at exploratory, documentary and empirical studies on information literacy to promote social innovation.
