Introduction: Hybrid libraries offer many resources to users. They need to be information literate to be able to access, evaluate and use information in those libraries. Furthermore, they need to develop their informational behavior to access information effectively. Objectives: This paper aims to discuss the relationship between information literacy, information seeking behavior and hybrid libraries. Methodology: The content analysis was used to develop hybrid library standards. The multiple case study was used to compare the relationship between information literacy and information seeking behavior in the context of hybrid libraries in Brazil and the United Kingdom. Results: The literature review and the multiple case study contributed to the creation of a chart which connected those themes. Conclusion: Hybrid libraries use information literacy and information seeking behavior to help users. The goals of the libraries meet the users’ needs.
