    La alfabetización informacional en las universidades
    (Editum. Ediciones de la Universidad de Murcia (España), 2002) Gómez-Hernández, José-Antonio; Licea de Arenas, Judith; Información y Documentación
    An enormous amount of publications on information literacy has been published over the past decade. However, it is not known yet how students learn to develop their information skills such as: recognising when information is needed and having the ability to locate, evaluate, and use it effectively. Since Zurkowski coined the concept in 1974, information literacy has been defined many times. Therefore, we attempted to explain that information literacy is nowadays a basic skill for students and university staff. This means that universities need to change their teaching and learning styles. On the other hand, libraries should offer new services in order to overcome information illiteracy among their communities. Collaboration between librarians and teachers is a must.

    Designing and implementing web-based tools to assess information competences of social science students at Spanish universities
    (Springer, 2013) Pinto Molina, María; Gómez-Hernández, José-Antonio; Cuevas Cerveró, Aurora; Puertas, Susana; Gómez Camarero, Carmen; Granell, Ximo; Palomares, Rocío; Guerrero, David; Información y Documentación
    We describe the process of designing and applying four web-based tools that assess information competences, focused on Social Science students at Spanish universities. We draw on our previous experience in developing web resources, tests and tutorials for learning information skills (E-coms, Alfamedia, Alfineees, Infolitrans, IL-HUMASS). The toolkit includes: 1) a corpus of texts with a controlled degree of difficulty to be used by students when acquiring the required competences; 2) the IL-HUMASS questionnaire, which measures students' attitudes and perceptions on the importance and self-effectiveness of information competences; 3) a knowledge test, organised in four categories (information search, evaluation, processing, and communication-dissemination); and 4) assessment rubrics, designed to prove students' know-how by fulfilling a set of objective tasks. The combined application of these instruments to a sample of students of Social Science degrees allowed us to confirm the internal validity and reliability of our tools.
