Information literacy, being multifaceted, can be observed through four dimensions: technical, aesthetic, ethical and political. Objective: Relate educational practices of librarians to the dimensions of information competence. Methodology: The research is non-exhaustive, descriptive bibliographic, with a qualitative approach. Results: Four experience reports were presented with actions promoting information literacy, which were correlated to the technical, aesthetic, ethical and political dimensions. Final considerations: It is observed that the actions correspond to the four dimensions, some with more explicit activities in one dimension than in others, as they are complementary and act together in a whole, which is information competence. The role of the librarian as a multiplier of information literacy is highlighted by promoting a welcoming environment in the library space, of belonging and that encourages learning to learn.
