The course "Information skills" (Searching and using information) is part of the curriculum of the whole graduate students at the University Carlos III of Madrid since the academic year 2008-2009. This was the first year when the university adapted all grades to the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). The aim of the course is to promote the information literacy among students and to provide them with the basic skills for searching, selecting, evaluate, use and communicate information in a digital environment. The teaching of the course is carry out by the Library and Information Science Departament with the close collaboration of the Library Service of the University. The Library is in charge of several of the practical sessions. After three years, we present a balance with the evolution of the course, academics results and the impact on the use of services and library resources.Downloads
