Alfabetização informacional na universidade: implicações no papel das bibliotecas e no papel do/a bibliotecário/a

Abstract

The research aimed to understand the presence of informational/digital literacy in higher education, with emphasis on the role of the library and the librarian. The theoretical framework allowed the selection of institutions with expertise in the area, in Spain and Brazil, for this research. As part of the field research, a training practice in informational/digital literacy was experienced. It was evidenced, through the research, that there are political and administrative challenges under the responsibility of the managers so that integrated formations of informational/digital literacy can occur. Furthermore, there is the challenge of overcoming the differences in the nature of professional activity between teachers and technicians in proposing collaborative work in order to make such literacy possible.
