Introduction: The study analyzes the live transmission carried out by members of the Information Science community during a covid-19 pandemic, assuming it theoretically as an informational practice that aims to disseminate information on the web. Method: it adopts an exploratory-descriptive, mixed (qualitative-quantitative) approach, with an unstructured observation procedure on the web and content analysis referring to 74 live streaming made by two Instagram profiles. The description allows us to confirm the purposes of the informational practice proposed by the selected Instagram profiles. Results: It infers that the themes address professional and academic issues so that 11 thematic categories emerged. It identifies an expansion of audiences and geographical dispersion regarding the origin of the participants. Conclusions: The live streaming’s characterization and the guests for the presentation of the content demonstrate that the informational practices are based on the concept of dissemination of information, which can be identified from the proposed categories. The discussions also point out the need for further analysis in Information Science to expand the interpretations of the investigated object.
