Abstract

The study focuses on an assessment of information skills based on the perception of students of the University of Granada enrolled in Arts and Humanities, Science, Health Sciences, Social Sciences and Law, and Engineering and Architecture. A quantitative methodology based on the validated survey IL-HUMASS is employed. The results highlight the importance that these students afford to the information competencies and the lack of training they perceive regarding the acquisition of certain skills, especially those related to the processing and communication of information. Results also show significant differences in information behavior and attitude between students enrolled n different programs, both in terms of self-efficacy and learning habits. It concludes with a SWOT analysis describing the skills valued least and most by students, and a with number of suggestions for improving weaknesses.
