| Sumario: | The behavior in the search for information on the internet assumed by students of the Information Sciences career at the University of Holguín is analyzed. The research has a quantitative approach, not experimental, applied with a descriptive scope. A survey of nine questions was applied to a sample of 84 students, selected by random non-probabilistic sampling, namely: Type of study and year; ways in which information on the internet is searched and recovered; objectives that it pursues; consulted sources; formats and languages; search engines, platforms, social and academic networks used. It was observed that 60.7% always search alone and 90% never seek the help of a librarian. 67.8% always search academic google, while 60.7% point to Facebook as the social network they always go to and, to a lesser extent, to WhatsApp. Only 42.8% use academic social networks and in the last three years of the degree. Emphasis is placed on the need to offer better teaching orientation, so that students acquire information literacy that allows them to take advantage of academic social networks, as well as adapt study programs and include optional subjects from the first years, which contribute to develop the required skills. |
