ABSTRACT
Libraries specialisingin health sciences, located in hospitals and health centres are defined as being within the fields of biomedicine, nursing and physiotherapy. They are called hospital libraries and their mission is directed at users who need information for clinical practice, teaching and research. Recently, the concept of information literacy has been added to the professional practices of librarians working in hospital libraries, although traditionally health librarians have devoted most of their professional work to teaching users in different techniques of search, retrieval and information management. The objective is to evaluate the training program based on the achievements and levels of acceptance and satisfaction of the professionals who participated. At the time of writing this report, a total of 116 professionals have received the training and 176 professionals have requested it. Information professionals have shown a special interest in knowing and acquiring the competence that society demands from health professionals in the 21st century: capacityto seek pertinent, relevant and truthful information, generate knowledge and disseminate information to multiple audiences in the Society-Network.
