ABSTRACT
In recent years, one of the concepts with more popularity in the field of librarianship, documentation and information science is the information literacy. This boom has produced a multiplicity of definitions-descriptions trying to conceptualize it. This article analyzes twenty of the most used definitions-descriptions in the past two decades integrating them for such analysis, techniques discursive, of domain analysis, and especially, of statistical analysis, networks and information visualization, to identify the trends and interrelationships among the terms utilized in them and its authors, and finally, for the self-evaluation of one proposal of macro definition-description of this concept, which embraces all of these trends and interrelationships and to serve as a guide for the design of different information literacy activities-programs having present all the reach that this implies in the learning throughout life.REFERENCES
