Summary/Abstract: Evolution of the book, better known as the disseminated information, coincides with the stages of history. That's why research and direct knowledge of the documentary sources, print and information used on the computer give us a diverse and complex form of documentary support. The fruitful achievements of bibliological research on this aspect of the information media dynamics have contributed over time to the prosperity of the cultural heritage and the unification of the people. Over time, the material support of the information storage has known a wide variety of environments: sand, clay, stone, tree bark, wood, ivory, animal bones and skins, parchment, papyrus, silk, wax tablets, paper, photographic or magnetic film, banchelite (patch board), fabric, film, magnetic, electric, optical support, etc. This is, in short, the enumeration thread of information carriers. But what is the information? It is found that even the meaning of the definition of information has undergone changes over time. It went from sound, writing, printing, to electrical signal, sound waves, etc.
