This article is about the development of the Project “Plan for Improvement of the learning resources, using new technologies in the three campuses of University of Los Lagos”, as part of the Project MECESUO ULA 1109, called program for the improvement of quality and equity of Higher Education. The actions of this Project are focused on the creation of informal competencies, which once the implementation and evaluation of the Project were finished, they were embedded in the curriculum modules of the transversal ICT courses that are oered by the institution. The competencies have been broken down into three levels of development, in order to facilitate the learning. For each competency level, contents implied in the development of the competencies are associated in the development of the aforementioned competencies, and their corresponding learning results.During one academic semester, the competencies, levels of achievement, contents, skills and learning results, are incorporated in the transversal ICT subjects using the Teaching and Learning Platform (TEALEA) of the institution, as a pilot. Moreover, the social commitment of the university libraries to teach through ALFIN is highlighted, assisting with the development of this type of competencies. In this way, librarians, adding to their traditional work of Technical Processes, References and Circulation, support the educational work with professors, providing the training process for the students.It makes it clear that to promote the development of information skills in college students, it is necessary the collaborative work between librarians and teachers. In addition, the implementation process of information literacy, content and some results are described.Conocimiento Educactivo, Vol. 3, 2016: 33-54
