Abstract

This paper presents an IL tutorial developed by the School Libraries Working Group from the Institute of Valencian Librarians and Documentalists and the Research Group on Education and Citizenship from the University of Balearic Islands (Spain). Firstly, a description of the information literacy training in Spanish educational centers is given. Secondly, the contents of the tutorial are explained. This tutorial has been developed by following the Three-Phase Model (Blasco and Durban, 2011), a model scientifically acknowledged and widely used in the Spanish context. Moreover, recommendations from educational researches and other IL tutorials are considered as well. Finally, an assessment tool is presented with the aim of improving this instrument and to adapt it to the real needs of teachers and students. The first assessment of this tutorial will be developed during the Doctoral Forum that will be celebrated on June-July 2015 in Maastricht.
