According to several studies (Weiler, 2005; Matusiak, 2006; Head, 2007; Eisenberg, 2008; Rempel & Davidson, 2008), because of the increasing use of Information and Communication for gathering information to write academic papers, students in higher education do not have the necessary competencies in this area. In spite of their technological skills, students do not apply these when it comes to searching, selecting and processing information. In this paper we analyze videos on Information Literacy posted on YouTube. The methodological procedures for data collection were determined by the definition of search terms, inclusion/exclusion criteria and numerical analysis concerning the dissemination, visualization and evaluation of these resources, the latter dimension being complemented with a qualitative analysis of the user’s comments. The results indicate what competencies have a wider dissemination and more visualization in YouTube. Through the "like/dislike" ratings and the comments posted, an analysis is done in regards to the evaluation of these videos by the users. The results provide pointers related to the needs in the dissemination of learning objects concerning the competency of selecting and evaluating information.
