Library science, similarly to linguistics, can be located at the border between text and content, representation and relevance. It can also be connected with semiotics. The relation between signs, text and information are examined through the works of Douglas Raber and John M. Budd on the two fundamental linguistic terms introduced by Ferdinand de Saussure, langue and parole. As for the relation between sign and meaning, we can find a variety of conflicting theories. But Saussure's theory can be applied even in studying the nature of information. From the complex theme of relevance, the article only deals with the impact of the relevance theory by Dan, Sperber and Deirede Wilson on library sciences.
