In any process it is essential that those involved include not only the purpose, but they know the main concepts that define that purpose. In several scenarios where it has addressed the issue of literacy have noticed that there remains a terminological and conceptual confusion between digital literacy, information literacy and education to users, the latter concept strongly advocated by librarians from many years of experience
While Literacy Informational is not a concept that emerged in recent years, because in the world referred to the term for the first time in 1974, not until the advancement of Information Society librarians and archivists are beginning to show interest in implementing the process in their particular contexts.
As their lives, occupations, people, contexts and processes are constantly changing and evolving. Is then that libraries are not part of this dialectic and now do exactly the same as when there were no technologies and our users could only access the information by attending the library and consult the printed literature. Today we will limit ourselves to show people the workings of the library and information resources which can be accessed, as was done in traditional activities called User education and training. Be that in the 90's and saw our interaction with the user as a teaching-learning process. Or is it simply that as part of change, not invented a new term, but the concept evolved into a qualitatively higher process, characterized by the development of information skills, called Information Literacy. A process which necessarily includes elements that were not defined in the User Education and now come to complement what was done previously, with a vision that involves changing the way individuals use the information in their professional activities and its personal life.
losing is not putting forces on the side of a paradigm or the other, trying to use the intelligence to understand the changing role of librarians and the need to incorporate new concepts to the processes that always did. We have no doubt that from Alexandria, there was always dedicated librarians, who lovingly guarding and transmitting knowledge from generation to generation, but we are confident that if the librarian of today would not have introduced new concepts and ways of doing, if not have talked about information management and knowledge management and networking, had disappeared as a logical consequence of the evolution. So why not take a look at Information Literacy, assuming that conceptually means a change in the role of librarians and information and what the concept represents to the Cuban health system and health professionals, the conscious, ethical and responsible scientific information relevant to the development of teaching, research, care and decision making.
Excessive production of information and transportation of it through information systems across the globe at unprecedented speeds, requires a greater ability to adapt to the environment, reflected in the autonomy required to carry out the processes that are part of everyday life. Requires autonomy at work, thinking and autonomy in the context of education, independence in learning.
informational competition today includes as essential in facilitating higher education "learning to learn" and "lifelong learning" and recognition of integration between data, information and knowledge. One thing is the data and quite another is the ability to interpret, make sense and meaning useful for certain purposes, is to transform data into knowledge information, know how to use the information in the service of problem solving, which will bring the social dimension of information.
The methodology of teaching should combine the use of varied learning spaces that combine the integrated virtual classroom with teachers and librarians in the teaching-learning process, which requires teacher training to facilitate knowledge, to use the platform technology education and interaction with Web 2.0 services in the production of explicit knowledge means offering appropriate learning objects as fundamental skills, recruitment, selection, critical analysis, reprocessing and reporting, as the development of ethical attitudes towards the use of, and applying the curriculum of the Information Literacy Program in Health, based on the core competencies tree proposed, based on a structure made macrocompetencias of which are derived from several skills with their accomplishments and indicators of learning achievement.
information literacy process requires understanding, so we must start with the concepts, principles and methods for their application context.
