Daftar Isi:
- We present a diagnosis of the current situation of the Information Literacy formation given to the students from the Information Units of the University of the Republic. As a theoretical frame, a summary of the User Education concepts, Information Literacy and more, the importance of it in the Information Society, and a revision of the history and the current situation of the University and its Information Units, is presented. Since it is a diagnosis and there is a lack of previous investigations, this research is exploratory. The universe of this research includes all the libraries of the principal services of the University, specifically 23 from Montevideo and 3 from inland. The data was raised through a Web questionnaire, covering three dimensions: theoretical notions of Information Literacy and User Education, the importance in the University Students, and activities made about these. Among the most relevant conclusions, it is stood out that a superficial use exists in the Information Literacy concept, focusing this on the information treatment, or in the tools, in some cases. This concept is reassured, in the facts, in giving the formation. All the Information Units believe that this is very important for the students and they assume that it is from their competence, but in the practice the contents that are included are minimum and the frequency that is offered is very low. It is observed that without being fully aware of the topic some necessities have been detected in the students and incorporated activities from the Information Literacy in the Users Education. Finally, some recommendations are offered, in the way of action lines and investigation, expected to be taken as resources for future development of the subject.
