- The integration of Spanish universities within the new European Higher Education system brings the opportunity for the improvement of the quality of academic programs and curricula that will respond to current market needs and society. Moreover, it is an opportunity for faculty members to determine the use of new methodologies and to define new goals. This report describes a research project developed at Universidad Complutense de Madrid during the year 2005: "Competencias en los títulos de grado y postgrado en información y documentación: definición y su introducción en la metodología docente", [Competencies in the Information Science undergraduate and graduate degree programs: its definition and its introduction in teaching methodology]. First, it defines the approach of competencies for the academic curriculum in Library and Information Science. Competence is conceived as a complex process that enables a person to solve problems and perform tasks with suitability in a particular professional context. Besides, this approach provides the possibility of changing the teaching methodology towards an "integral education", which is focused on the students learning process and based on knowledge and know-how skills. A List of Competencies for the undergraduate and graduate degree programs in Information Science have been formulated. This work has been based on the "Euroreferencial en Información y Documentación" elaborated by the ECIA (European Council of Information Associations) thanks to an European Commision project and in which the chair of the Complutense project, Carlos Tejada, participated as Spanish commissioner. Thus, the 33 competencies of this document have been analyzed in the following aspects: whether the competency may be developed in an academic context, or whether it may need another complementary text to adapt it to an academic curriculum; the recommendation of its development for undergraduate degree or graduate degree programs; the relationship to other competencies; the relationship with the subjects of the contents proposed in the "Libro Blanco de la ANECA del Título de Grado en Información y Documentación"; the proposal of new competencies in regards to an academic context; and any other observation that could arise. One of the conclusions of this study is that there is conclusive evidence about how in a competence-oriented curriculum an interdisciplinary approach is present and is fundamental. And, whereas in the traditional model of teaching the responsibility falls to the instructor only, in this new model it is shared among a team of instructors. Therefore, in this new model the working relationship among instructors and assessments of the teams are essential.
