This work explores an often forgotten subject by librarianship: the birth of bibliographic collection. Since beginning, Information Science’s focus has been on information, and, as a result, the material support has taken a second place. In order to initiate a discussion that attempts to rescue the information support, without loosing information, it is proposed the concept of semióforo as a way to overcome the division between material/immaterial. The paper is divided into three parts: the first one displays a bibliographic review in order to introduce concepts as Material Culture and Collecting, in different fields. In the second one, the discussion is delimited by the field of Librarianship, looking for its relationship with bibliographic collections, placing emphasis on Bibliophile. Finally, the work’s title emerges by pointing out the lack of bibliographic collection studies in the field of Library Sciences. It also proposes the use of semióforo concept not only to deal with the division support/text, but one that provides theoretical subsidies to work out the problem offering subsidies for the field of theoretical discussion. Then, it is supposed to reach the main goal of the project: to discus that, as an object, the book has some characteristics features, some of them subjectivists and materialistics which determine that the individual could be capable to establish some kind of relations that of the simple search of information.
