We conclude the necessity of incorporate in Higher Education the use of libraries and information literacy for all the students. We also study the situation and context of Spanish university libraries, and we evaluate the library of University of Murcia, developing a model for that considering recommendations and standards of the American Librarians Association (ALA). We also evaluate the present use of libraries of the students of University of Murcia, and we conclude that this library have to improve its organizational and communicative processes.
