contents Patterns of Differentiation of Students' Competencies: A Comparative Study Glowacka, Ewa Kisilowska, Malgorzata Paul, Magdalena Information Literacy Foreign Countries College Students Student Attitudes Student Needs Differences Social Sciences Humanities Academic Libraries Librarians Role Self Efficacy Library Instruction Integrated Activities Librarian Teacher Cooperation College Faculty The study focuses on the issue of how much information competencies are universal in the globalized, internet-connected world, and/or to what extent their perception depends on local conditions and individual needs. The aim of the project is threefold. First, it offers a comparative analysis of the information literacy [IL] skills of Polish and Spanish students, regarding both their self-assessment and belief in the importance of information literacy. Second, it focuses on differences and unique IL needs of students of courses rooted in social sciences and/or humanities. And third, due to these differences, it discusses the role of academic librarians in profiled IL training, integrated with the specific courses. Quantitative methodology was applied. The comparative study covered subgroups of humanities and social science students from Poland and Spain. Competencies in information searching, processing, evaluation, and communication/dissemination were taken into account. The results indicate some common ways of perception of valuing information competencies and major differences in assessment of IL self-efficacy. Students' reluctance to visit libraries is another argument to enhance profiled IL training being realized in close cooperation of academic librarians and the faculty.
