Since its origin, Information Science has been influenced by two fundamental aspects: The context of the technologies and its interdisciplinary character with the purpose of focusing attention in information hence becoming its study object. In the epistemological development, paradigms map the way to study and practice information reflecting the context in which it develops and likewise influencing the development of this science. Nowadays, the socio-cognitive paradigm happens in a somehow different context: Social networks, where relationships among people, their behaviors and needs acquire another dimension. This research subject is the presence of the socio-cognitive paradigm in the context of the social network Dreamcatchers in Cuba. Ucinet software and statistical analysis of the information collected showed how people influenced each other within the community thus the presence of the socio-cognitive paradigm in the context of the social network Dreamcatchers.
