This study analyzed the behavior in search and use of information for decision making of school managers in relation to the information literacy patterns in the high schools of the Distrito Federal, that are part of the public school system. The research is qualitative-quantitative, based on official documents of the educational system of the Distrito Federal, a questionnaire and a semi-structured interview. The results show that the main access to information is carried out through the internet and also that the volume of data along with the lack of time to obtain information hinders the decision making. In order to make decisions, besides the political pedagogical projects, managers consult information available at schools. They verify the origin of the information received and the results achieved by the school in external evaluations, which are proposed by the government. Finally, the data collected from school managers in relation to information literacy patterns show the development of few skills and the need for systematic and adequate training to learn how to deal with information.
