- From the end of the XX century the librarian field has been revising and reinventing an educative aspect, which is known in Spain as “users' training” or "users' education" (formación de usuarios), giving birth to a new expert knowledge called information literacy. Information literacy is conventionally conceived as a protocolized process, a set of stages (determine the need, access, evaluate and use and communicate information), which seeks to make users competent in the use, process and efficient management of information. From the field of librarianship, information literacy is usually seen as a given, natural, reality and it is generally studied from technical and managerial perspectives that are not used to leave the field itself (the analysis focus on standards and indicators, models, strategies of applicability, assessment, etc.). From our point of view, this is an insufficient optic to understand the social and political significance of both the library institution, the activity of its staff and the discursive constructions it produces. Among the contributions of the study, one which really stands out is that information literacy, that new expert knowledge made up into different models from the end of XX century, is seen not as something natural or a necessary result of the evolution of the librarian world, but as a social construct, which arises in a specific time. The whole of meanings, practices, values, knowledge, etc., that different social groups and agents assign to this new literacy is identified as informational discourse.
