The so-called Digital Revolution has developed new languages, strategies and possibilities, which have been changing the reading history in a radical way. It is in this context in which the proposal of this work is posed, i.e., to verify the uses, representations and practices of writing and reading of university professors employing different supports. Some issues to be discussed are: What are the writings of these professors? What are they using for their writings? How are they dealing with these changes? What do they read and write employing the distinctive supports? After analyzing the reports, it was noted that most of them use the manuscript way regularly, and also use the digital writing on their docent activities. There are, however, differences concerning the uses and functions of both writings. It was observed that e- mails are regularly preferred for objective and fast contacts. However, for more elaborated theoretical constructions, such as the writing of a paper, most of the interviewees preferred to make their drafts by hand. Among others transformations which are nowadays undergoing, such as the excess of messages and demands that are invading their privacy, professors have been working hard in order to keep up the work quality.
