ABSTRACT
Background: the search and retrieval of information has great importance in the development of knowledge. It can be done through different tools, but the Information and Communication Technologies demand new ways of behavior of the librarians, both in their social and working life. There are difficulties in this respect which are inquired here.Objective: to characterize the training of librarians in the health system of Villa Clara in the search and retrieval of information.
Methods: methods of the theoretical level are employed: analytic-synthetic, historicallogical, inductive-deductive, and systemic and structural- functional. Of the empirical level: observation, survey and document analysis.
Results: there are scarce systemic studies done to solve the lack of knowledge about search and retrieval of information in the health librarians, the time devoted to their professional upgrading is insufficient, there are no subjects included in the curriculum that teach how to use tools that favor the learning of librarians, and there is no proposal on the search and retrieval of information in the context that is studied, and the reference materials that are available in Infomed are not used optimally.
Conclusions: it was verified that there are still deficiencies in the training of librarians in the health system of Villa Clara concerning the search and retrieval of information.
