Abstract
In order to provide a reliable resource that helps information professionals, who provide their service in libraries to take concrete actions in the training and training of their users, an instrument to measure informative skills has been developed and validated in an educational institution. When considering the results of the study, it is determined that the instrument has a very good validity (KMO = .906, c22 = 1959.102, gl = 378, p = .000, explained variance = 67.601%). Cronbach's alpha coefficient showed a very good degree of internal consistency (α = .958). Considering the results of the quantitative analysis and the intervention of the experts, a solid support of the five dimensions that make up the instrument can be observed. The proposed instrument offers the possibility of assessing different vital aspects related to the training of users, the offer and use of library services and intervention activities that will literate the university community.
