Abstract

The current situation of Information and Documentation (ID) programs in Spain is analyzed, from their creation less than four decades ago to their adaptation to the European Higher Education Area (EHES). The analysis is based on statistical data provided by the Government of Spain, the BBVA-IVIE Foundation and SEPE. The significant changes undergone by degrees are highlighed, both in their content and designations, as well as the influence of digital transformation and the reality of work on the training and skills of information professionals. It is also addressed the situation of postgraduate training and the employability of graduates. It is concluded that it is necessary to articulate a path that guarantees the permanence and solvency of the cycles of studies in university education, integrating research, knowledge transfer and interdisciplinarity.
