Information literacy involves more than just the ability to locate information; it also encompasses the capacity to critically evaluate, interpret and use resources effectively for educational and research purposes. This article analyses the training programs implemented by the Scientific Library of UTM, highlighting their importance in the contemporary educational and scientific environment, which is characterised by complex information flows and the need to efficiently use digital resources. Furthermore, it describes how these programs contribute to developing essential skills for success in research and higher education, and their impact on improving academic performance and enhancing collaborative capacities in a digital environment.
