Abstract

Considering that university librarians have an advantageous position in mediating information resources and users, one can consider them as the more suitable professionals to provide intellectual property advice to professors and students. But, ¿do they really have the required knowledge to face that duty? To determine the level of knowledge, among university librarians, about copyright problems, a questionnaire was used to survey librarians of the University of Granada. The results show a considerable lack of knowledge what points out to the need of a training program about these issues as a priority matter for the current university libraries.
