We sought to analyze the use domain of information and communication technologies by undergraduate students, regarding access to information, during the research process aimed at the elaboration of academic-scientific works. The methodology had a quantitative predominance of the descriptive-exploratory type. The research covered a population of forty-nine individuals from the Polytechnic School of Malanje, of which forty-eight are students of the Psychology Course, in addition to an interviewed professor. It was observed that a percentage of those surveyed prefer searching physical and / or digital books. Public libraries are places where students look for materials to support the preparation of academic works. The results indicate that despite the use of information and communication technologies, students lack guidance on the part of teachers for correct use, to overcome plagiarism in the preparation of academic-scientific works. It is evident that it is fundamental and urgent that all the agents involved develop the information competence in the researched students, so that they can make the best use of the results obtained in the research.
