Abstract

This paper aims to explain how the libraries in Sciences, Medicine, and Health Sciences at the University of Alcalá (UAH), Spain, have implemented information literacy (IL) in courses from 2010-2011 to 2015-2016, usually as part of the curriculum, including them in most teaching guides. This article discusses the strategy followed, the information available to achieve teacher collaboration, the opportunities offered by the European Higher Education Area (EHEA), the background data, the way IL has been gradually incorporated in various studies, and finally, the obvious advantages in the learning process.
