Abstract
Information literacy instruction in Spain by librarians in Economics, Business Administration, Accounting, Finance, Banking, and Insurance is analyzed. The data was collected through a survey and assesses information literacy skills and knowledge of library resources and services. Positive aspects and shortcomings are identified and recommendations are given for improvement. Also, specific student traits and informational competencies are explored for economics students. Among other conclusions, there is the delay in the inclusion of digital skills and a need to collaborate with other university actors.Downloads
